lol ty. I talked to the freshwater handler at the fish store, (the one I don't really trust too much.) and I talked to him about Melafix. He said that all of the betas that they have go through tea tree oil baths before they put them in there cups, and he also said, back when they didn't use it, that they lost a LOT more betas. and now that they do use it they lose hardly any. then again, this is the fish store. he said if I wanted I could bring it back and change it out or get my money back, but he couldn't recommend anything else because they don't USE anything else.
He said that as far as overdoses go, you can overdose a fish on anything, so just make sure that you use it correctly. and he gave me certain instructions which I have written down somewhere.. he said i think... to put x amount of drops into a little cup he gave me, with tank water in it, and shake it up really good to activate it, then pour it into the tank. I don't remember how many drops he told me to put in though =\, but again it's written down somewhere lol.
As far as water conditioner goes, I got
API stress coat, on the bottle it says,
fish and tap water conditioner
Replaces slime coat
Reduces electrolyte loss
Removes
chlorine and chloramines.
Any feedback?
ALSO!!!! after I get that 12-15 gallon tank from my friend, I already have a plan!
In my Community tank I will keep my
Mollies
Killifish
Neons
Rummynoses
and add
3 Marble Hatchets. I saw them at the store, they are awesome!
and in my little beta tank, I will have
my Beta, (of course lol)
my 2 cory catfish
and add
2 Panda Cory's.
then ill be maxed on everything woot woot.
ANY FEEDBACK on the way marble hatchets and panda cory's act, there specific needs, personal stories etc, would be well appreciated. I'll check out the info they have here on the site, but still personal info on these fishies would be excellent.
IT WAS SO SAD! for me at least, I looked in the tank at the marble hatchets, there were three, and a dead one floating on its side at the top of the tank, and the catfish were upsidedown eating it =(
