I've done alot of thinking on that subject. I think (memory isn't quite what it use to be)but in general the fish have done better,,aclimated (after the fog has worn off) quicker. I (prior to using the tabs) had more trouble with newly introduced fish hiding and being stressed in the new enviroment. It probably didn't help that my peacock eel is really curious (and pretty big) she just loves to swim right up to new fish w/her big 'ole nose and check them out |

LoL, so you calm them down only to have the eel give them a heart attack! lol ahahahahaha
Thanks for the reply. How long have you been using this product? Keep us posted long term on what you notice about your fish that is different, if anything. I'm curious to know. Either way, I'm not too fond of using pills myself, I wouldn't feel comfortable using them on my fishies either. Who knows, though? I may have use for it at some point. |

I don't plan on any new fish over the next year (pending any catastrophies) in that we will be selling this place and buying a new house and hopefully will be all moved in by this time next year...Wish us luck...with the way things are going we should be able to get a house cheaper but of course that means selling this one cheaper too....There truly is a fine line in life...LOL
But if I do have any new news I'll be sure to post it in regards to the "Bag Buddies" (sounds like a transient gang)
OOOPs missed an answer,,been using it about 6 yrs |

My family DID always say God has a sense of humor lol |

Ross, do you tell the seller that, so that they can benefit from your thoughts? Because I think you're making a good point, and potentially they don't even know if they never receive fish, but only sell them.

Just like tranquilizers to humans I suppose, they slow the heart rate and response times. Too much and the heart rate would be slowed beyond a safe level.
That is just my personal experiences of bad times with 'bag buddies' and why I choose not to use the product. Others may have found the happy balance and feel safe using it, more power to them if they have.  |
