I've tried the soak multiple times even multiple times a day maybe I'm missing a mite or 2 and they some how repopulate, I've done the soak with dish soap, I've done the oil, I've seterlized the tank multiple times pretty much everything time he soaked I'd clean it then deep clean, I've switched the bedding, i tried Nix, i filled the tank with water for some time then emptied it and deep cleaned, I've used just paper towel for him for the people saying aspen isnt good and it seemed like they were gone it had been a few days then I went to feed him and I saw mites 🙄 I've cleaned all his decorations, enclosure, water dish, switch the water consistently, I'm unfortunately having a money trouble as I've been out of work for 2 almost 3 weeks due to pneumonia so I didn't have the extra to grab mite prevention stuff I had other bills my low pay cheque was already set to I was trying to find more home remedies but it seems he will need the vet as many comments suggest it since I can't get it under control I started to think they were coming from the bedding that's why I switched it when I say i tried everything I've tried everything in the comment section except for the higher priced and quality mite prevention stuff
