Hi again, I read your post, I know 100% peroxide should not be ingested, but the 3% we use on wounds here is fabulous! It turns white and fizzes which proves to me its working on some germ that should not be there and never left a scar. I still use it to rinse my mouth and brush teeth with...

I had to write and thank you for saying you also use peroxide in your mouth, too! I did, when I got fish water in my mouth while using gravel vac, and it is good to rinse your mouth with before you go to bed. Thank you for commenting on peroxide use and it won't kill you. If its in a massive...

Yes, that's what I thought: salt was the only difference, too. I add salt with larger water changes, I don't add too much, don't want to harm any fish. As for diseases, you can check them out on the internet, ask other members or check out fish stores and hope someone can help. I don't know...

Update on senior beagle: He is going to vet in 40 minutes to assess his cardiac condition, will ask about Lasix or drug to make heart contractions easier and decrease any cardiac overload. He is acting normal right now, no new symptoms. Lungs still clear in spite of coughing. Will see what I...

I love your humor! Yes I got fish water in my mouth, I now have 2 bottles of hydrogen peroxide on hand to rinse with. Glad you wrote, I'll keep struggling with mine a bit longer, must take my dog to vet soon and help him, can write later. Thanks! :) :)

Oh, this is wonderful, someone else has my idea, too! I have a similar situation: in brief I'll explain: I have an established aquarium, tropical fish plus goldfish (goldfish were removed, got big and were donated) so I have tropical fish including a betta, its a community tank. Weeks later I...

Oh, wow, that's very different from mine! Is yours fast when it works?

For the benefit of honc4098 I will read my peroxide bottle for you, maybe you have a different strength than I do: Mine has stabilized 3% peroxide :blink: and contains purified water. Is that what you have, too? I meant hensonc4098 with the peroxide questions/comments. Hope my info helps you.

Wanted to add that I had the bucket on the floor, still had weak suction that slowly got a little faster, but I do know about suctioning with gravity, long story from my experience though, you'd have to be here I guess.

No, not my mind, 3 people tried and it didn't work, but its working now. The peroxide is not dangerous to people if you rinse your mouth with it, I certainly did not want to swallow tank water. Did you know some people drink a little peroxide every day? It helps with certain things. With the...

My tank never had this before, but, a partial water change is a good start, thanks!

Just a silly question: can a tank have an algae odor with no visible algae? My tank is not in sunlight, has good filtration and air pump, new plants, too. For odor I have Jungle clearwater I bought for cloudiness and bottle says its good for odors. So, guess that means I can treat two...

Just have a quick question: what are reasons for a betta's tail to become slightly shredded? All I can think of is another fish picked on him, he is stressed from water changes or new fish that were added,he does not appear sick, has no ick or cotton spots, swimming as usual, seems to leave...

I rinsed my mouth from having fish water in it, its really not poisonous, its actually good to rinse your mouth with before you go to bed, and I don't want to know what is in my fish water. Sounds okay to me, I got my gravel vac working but again, got fish water in my mouth! Rinsed my mouth...

To all interested: Its 2 pm, my tank is cloudy again with odor. About 3 hours ago I got suction vac to work even with weak suction, did 50% water change with gravel vac, replaced water, added small amount Jungle clear water/odor remover. Now, I'm thinking of what I can do next, there is no...

That's exactly what happened to me! Today the store showed me how to start suction, I did and it worked. But, my tank is too low to floor so I can move it to higher surface and get stronger suction. I did the best I could until I can move tank, everything is working great, tankmates are ok, will...

Yes, I agree and I got mine to work and realized tank is too low to floor, will move tank to higher surface (coffee table to buffet table) but then I can't see tank while I'm typing, however, I did clean tank even with weaker suction, replaced water and will watch to see when clarity changes. I...

I tried that and ended up with fish water in my mouth, had to treat that with H2O2, and watched video on you tube, tried that method and it just didn't work. I'm going back to store with it to exchange it for something else. Thanks for writing, I had one years ago that was wonderful, can't...

Good morning! Ok, so I'm up early, tank still somewhat cloudy, will take cheap gravel suctioner back today and hope to find something better that won't break the bank. First gravel suctioner didn't work either and I did practice with it, daughter tried it, almost asked a neighbor to try it LOL...

Okay, I'm awake now,...my tank had cloudy white water 2 days after cleaning entire tank so I changed the filter (it was dirty), did partial water change, bought some clear water by Jungle that clears the water and removes odors (which I discovered thismorning) and I do not see algae anywhere...

I know its early and I'm trying to wake up but I could swear I made a new post thismorning and can't find it anywhere, maybe I did not hit submit button right, it would have shown by now. I'll start over as soon as I wake up more. My post was about fiddlers and red claw crabs. Wondered what...

I knew marine salt does not disappear then change into aquarium salt. I know crabs need minerals to help with moulting, calcium. I just wish the store had explained them more, and I did ask. I bought the Ammonia Safe because I had too many goldfish which I donated and read they give off ammonia...

Good morning! I just have questions about kinds of freshwater sharks besides the bala, rainbow or silver tip kind: yes, I will look up pictures, but, I found a new tropical fish store I want to visit today and I expect it will be large, yay! Anyway, can anyone recommend a type that is best in a...

I just replied but don't see it on my screen....I have to look into fixing cloudiness of water today, plus get screen for top. I'm either going to clean the whole tank or start reading about bacteria! Can't do it now, I have to have a diagnostic test thismorning. Will check filter placement now...

Sounds reasonable to me and I can do that except I need a precise balance for fish and crabs both. Really, the only answer here is to separate the fish from the fiddlers. Or, only have brackish fish, which would be easier on me. I see why crabs need marine salt and I see why fish have certain...

Oh, I'm so glad someone wrote! I found this info after spending a long time searching internet for types of salt and somewhere I found this maybe from a crab forum source...Now I've finally determined that instant ocean is a more concentrated form and several fish stores plus internet said use...

I'll do whatever it takes to make my crabs happy,...the pet store insisted I NOT add instant ocean to my tank, they insisted on aquarium salt to benefit fish, I know SG for crabs is 1.005 to 1.010 so I am trying to determine if this salt will work because the store absolutely insisted on it...

New update with excitement: I just spent almost 2 hours cleaning my tank with a suction device that did not work, have new filter that does work, have supplies all over the place, have 2 dogs watching, plants, rocks and cave are out, air stone out, hydrometer is out, etc. I checked tank to make...

Thanks for writing about iodine, I understand the differences between the forms. You'll be happy to know I found a hydrometer today and its in the tank, all tankmates are fine. Yes, I have the right variety of crab food, they have a wonderful home here. No, I would not add table salt, I will get...

I agree about ammonia, I checked and my bottle of AmmoniaSafe detoxifies ammonia and I want to add it exactly right to ensure crabs and fish are ok until I can get a new tank for brackish water for my crabs. New tank has to be postponed due to family member's illness with unknown outcome. I just...
