Colloidal - yet again

[BettaMomma]

I just scoured the board looking for the dosage for this stuff. I just got mine and I want to try treating some of my sickies with it.
But I can't figure out what the dosage should be.
I have 500 PPM.
Can someone let me know?
Thx. I really did try to find the answer myself.

i'm not sure if there is an actual specific dosage....

one of my boys ripped up his fins a little overflaring at his meighbor, so i put in 1/3 to 1/2 a dropperful of 1100 ppm. his fins are healing nicely a week later. i just put in a few drops with water changes now

Is that a vitamin and mineral supplement.

 

[BettaMomma]

Yep - it's supposed to be the miracle cure all for all fish ailments.
I gave lucky one drop of it and he tried to eat it in the water.


We'll see if that helps his tail.
I'm going to use it in my female tank at home too.
They need a little 'pick-me-up' I think.
Uugh.

I'll let ya know how it goes

 

[WILDER]

I've heard of people using vitamin and minerals supplements, especially if they have hole in the head, as that can be caused through bad diet.

 

[BettaMomma]

Yeah, hopefully this stuff will really be the miracle drug that everyone says it is.
It would have come in handy recently with my columnaris outbreak. (well my fish's, not mine lol)
And the velvet.
And the septiciemia.
And the finrot.
And the fungus.
And the bacterial infections.
And the popeye.

Uugh.

oh, just fyi - most of my fish come standard with diseases. They don't usually develop all of this stuff after they come to live with me.
Just wanted to make that clear.

 

[WILDER]

Quite a list there, hope they are all well soon, looking for anymore to take care of, must cost you a fortune.

I am not looking for more to take in, no.
I still make my rounds, though, and report any sickies I see to the employees.

I am not really sure what I would do if I ran across a really sick one again at WalMart. I'm sure I'd end up dragging it home and then worrying about what to do with it. But for now the inn is full
