Ok so if I buy live foods just soak their flakes in the jungle tabs for a few days feed before they should be parasite free?
Thanks

Re: got my new congo puffer today
I can't stand the water plashing noise at all it drives me crazy so all tanks are filled to the rim lol and they usually have to be filled daily b/c water evaporates very quickly The filters themselves don't really bother me I CAN stand a constant noise that never changes( like the filters) but not ...

Re: got my new congo puffer today
Thanks is the treatment the same for live feeders as well? Just feed them once with some flakes soaked in the meds? And they will be free from parasites as well and safe to feed? When people buy live blood worms and black worms do theyhave to be treated for anything? I think I might try some of the ...

Re: got my new congo puffer today
Is the parasite clear by jungle the right stuff to treat with( it is a fizzy tab?) if so would I just soak the food in it? And for how long do you treat. I am going to try to just breed my own so I won't have to worry about it Also I called one of the local petstores and asked if they had feeder gup...

Re: Nerite snails
Hmmm I didn't even think of that
But I guess I could get some and if they showed interest in them I could put the snails in a different freshwater tank right?
Are there any other snails that would be appropriate? My SG is 1.006
Thanks

Re: A few questions about gsp
They keep them in fresh water.
So I guess I will just start him off in fresh water and graually raise the salinity, or just run the filter on my other tank and then graually increase the SG From there
thanks
