| 2009-10-02 | fish new-bie | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | thank you! i also found out they may be running from me b/c in the winter it is feeding time for other larger fish. they may see me as a larger fish and run for that reason also. as you stated when they get bolder they will come out and stand their ground like they did before. thank you so much and i'm going to bookmark this site for future use....thank you so much! |

| 2008-09-09 | Cindy | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | Many thanx! - The 10-14 days seems to be the standard - remember, mine's been up for 5 weeks - I'll start your method right away and look for good results! |
| 2008-08-25 | Sandy | 8 | 8 | 10 | 10 | Yes | I think there might have been some confusion between the 2 different tanks. And I'm getting different advice regarding how best to keep Bettas - some say it's unforgivable to keep them in such a small container, others say they don't need much of anything as far as water quality. Who to believe? Fishman was very prompt and gave some good advice - especially not using meds willy nilly. Thank you for the help when I needed it. |

| 2008-05-08 | Nancy | 8 | 6 | 10 | 10 | No | Thank you Michael ~ I now know what to look for if I decide to have guppies again (when hell freezes over!) I guess from the calmness of your answer there might not be a major panic for the others, although I really would like to know what took the guppies out. Anyway, the more people I hear from that don't instantly say "There is no hope for anything in your tank of death" the better I feel.Thanks...and yeah, no one goes near my tank in future without a quarantine that rivals UK rabies control. |
| 2008-05-07 | Kim | 10 | 5 | 10 | 10 | No | Is essence, it was a 2 part Q & he only answered 1 Q, Still don't know if I should combine all the fry. |

| 2008-03-22 | Jill | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Thank you so much for your advice. It was prompt and clear and I am using it to help treat my fish at this very moment. I will let you know how things turn out! It was nice to know that there was something I could do especially since many pet stores I called didn't seem to know what the problem was and didn't seem too interested in helping me. Thanks again from me, and my fishes Bartleby and Boris! -Jill |
| 2008-03-21 | Carol | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Thank you so much for a quick answer...you have been very helpful. |
