The 10 gallon tank w/ cover is no longer available. The 55 gallon is.
I am interested in buying or trading for the following items:
1. chlorine remover (if you want to split the largest size bottle
available) - if
anyone has a homemade recipe for making one, that would be greatly
appreciated.
I hate adding more bottles to the trash, just for a few cents worth of
chemicals.
2. a very quiet air pump, preferably one that can power 2-3 tanks.
3. Ich medicine, if anyone wants to split a large bottle. I currently
need this for my new flowerhorn,
and will not be able to get to a fish store for a few days. In the
meanwhile, I started using 3% H2O2,
at 0.5 ml per gallon of water. Has anyone had luck with that? I got it
at the auction "Emergency Ich X-tinguisher,"
from the company Tropical Science.
Lastly, if anyone has extras of TetraMin foods, my fish love the
following:
TetraMin tropical flakes, and
TetraMin tropical tablets - the rich mix (my oscar enjoys these)
I can bring a half dozen foods my fish have not favored (none too old,
and all stored in the refrigerator since I bought them.)
One last observation: my Oscar started eating garden snails tonight. He
LOVED the snail.
Any comments on offering him these?
Thank you,
John
