I just checked bottle and it's an
API liquid test kit - no expiration date on bottle but a 2006 copyright mark on bottom of label. I went to 2 different petstores and all their API kits have a 2007 copyright date on box and 2006 date on bottles inside. Of course the store guy tries to tell me that because they are still shipping these test kits out to them that they must be fine - Yah like the little bettas they have lined up 3 jars deep in only 3" of blue water are fine!!!
I don't mean to bash these stores so harshly but they all seem to know NOTHING! They're in it just for the sell!
sorry about the rant - anyway they also have Red Sea test kits but the expiration date is kinda confusing one said 01 10 9 and another said 08 10 9
Any ideas on deciphering that?
As for my cory babies - it really doesn't seem like anything is majorly irritating them - they don't twitch alot - it's more like a weird little quirk every once in a while but I would like to get a good ammonia test to make sure that's not the problem!
