Re: Marine GSP possible friends?

Re: Marine GSP possible friends?

Re: New member and owner of a GSP

I did end up purchasing prime and melafix the other day after reading some articles in the library so I will be sure to use the Prime when conducting the water changes. Thanks!

Re: New member and owner of a GSP

Re: New member and owner of a GSP

Re: New member and owner of a GSP

Thankyou for all your suggestions. I'm gonna try a few and see how it goes and hopefully he will be eating foods that will trim down his teeth in no time.
