| 2009-11-05 | Amy | 7 | 6 | 10 | 10 | No | Hi there Thanks for the prompt response! unfortunately I live in New Zealand and we have different names for similar products over here, could you tell me the primary ingredients used in Primafix? and what type of internal/external parasites/fungus it treats or what I'm suppose to be treating for? I bought some Wunder White spot cure- malachite green. (The brand we have here) Not sure if i should use it yet though. And I forgot to add the tank measurements! His tank is appoximately 4 gallons i believe (changing it from litres (15.2 L) the female is in a smaller tank at 3 gallons, but she has been remarkably healthy. Neiter of the tanks are filtered (the betta freaks out when i tried it) but they are set by a heater which keeps the water at a consistent 78-80 F and the regular water changes which I will take your advice and stick to. I have been using aquarium salt as directed as well for the past week. Thanks again for your time |

I own several freshwater aquariums from 10 to 125 gallon. When provided with the correct information and detail, I can answer most questions about freshwater aquariums. Set up, cycling, maintenance, likely and unlikely tank mates, feeding. Moving? I've moved fish both across town and across the country and can help you get your little aquatic friends to their new home safely. I know about most freshwater tropical fish and some Cichlids including Angels, Bettas, Blood Parrots, Brichardi Cichlids, Cory Cats, Danios, Farlowella Cat, Gouramis, Green Severum, Guppies, Kribensis Cichlids, Mollies, Oscars, Platys, Swordtails, Tetras, Tiger Barbs & Uaru Cichlid to name several I currently own. If I don't know the answer to your question, I will certainly do research and find the best answer for you. If I don't know the answer and unable to find it, I'll tell you. I will not give it my best shot or an educated guess as this could potentially put your pets in danger. I am NOT an expert with Goldfish, Koi, Cod, or Frogs etc. I also cannot answer any questions about saltwater fish or aquariums.
