ok, thanx again! We'll see how he does, it just seems like he can improve & decline so quickly!

yeah not a problem. Like i said just watch him. You should start to see some improvement in a few days.

Just wondering: how well do these little guys see beyond the tank? When we get close I know he recognizes us, but can they make out furniture or other items in the room further away from their tank?


Edit: sorry, probably should've posted this some place else

[lvandert]

its alright. They actually are pretty good at recognizing objects. They recognize people and know that people feed us, and my fish recognize my bird lol. They know certain objects are for certain things. Like my food container is yellow, they know if a human grabs that it means food time lol

I'm ?ing how I dosed the Maracyn II now. Is there a formula for mixing it for a 1 gal tank? I mixed 1 1/4 cups (10 oz) of water with 1 packet (1/4 tsp) of Maracyn II; then added 1oz of that to his 1 gal tank. (added another 1oz as 1st dose is doubled). Assuming I did that correctly, can I use the remaining mixture for todays water change & 2nd day of Maracyn II or does it loose it's effectiveness and I should mix a new packet?

[lvandert]

hmm thats a good question. I would assume you can use it. if it doesn't do what you think, you can always make up a new batch.
