Just picked a bottle of this stuff at petco ,the bottle says half a teaspoon per gallon ,it says to use this amount for 7 days and to change the water on the 7th day,that sounds to long to go without a water change to me.
Thanks i should of asked here first ,i saw so many good reviews on the petco and amazon site, so i went and purchased it.To late to return it i just used some today , i will try it out for a couple of more days and see how he is doing ,i wont purchase it again now that i know.
I noticed a split in his rear fin and a small piece missing and he is starting to look a little frayed in some areas,other than that he eats fine and is active soon as i go over to him he comes looking for food.I have another post with a pic on this i think i may have done it by small temp fluctuations by turning on the ac.I have moved him to another part of the room on the suggestion from another member here on this site and i keep the ac running much lower .
I guess i will stop using it you got me woried now is it okay to just leave the dose i just put in there, i just changed his water today i also add api stress coat + that i bought yesterday hoping that it would also help ,i did not need it i already have prime but i read that the api + would help with the fins problem and stress..
He is that jug it is almost 2 gallons ,i do have a 6.6 gallon but i can not set that up right now have to wait a couple week or more.I try to do 2 full changes a week some time's i do 1 full and one half.
Oh yeah and you don't need to use the stresscoat after he is better if you have a different conditioner that you like to use, but you can keep using it...It doesn't matter...
Yes i am stopping i am afraid of what finfinreiend said about this stuff ,i guess i just threw away 5.00 dollars, lesson learned ask on this site first next time.
I have a big bottle of prime ,i read that its the best for the money and is very concentrated,I will switch back to that when i run out of the stress coat, it's a small bottle.
That's good. I have Prime and I recommend it. I also have stresscoat+ on hand for when he tears a fin or something like that...
