Cuttlefish Bone In My F8 Tank?

Post by carlos »

Is putting a cuttlefish bone in my tank a good idea? Ive heard they like it and it shaves theyre beaks well too.

Whats the verdict? Thanks again

Would these alter the pH?
"I will give you a talisman. Whenever you are in doubt, or when the self becomes too much with you, apply the following test. Recall the face of the poorest and the weakest man whom you may have seen, and ask yourself, if the step you contemplate is going to be of any use to him or her. Will she gain anything by it? Will it restore her to a control over her own life and destiny? In other words, will it lead to freedom for the hungry and spiritually starving millions? Then you will find your doubts and your self melt away."

Found among the papers of Mohatma Gandhi

I read it increases hardness. No idea if it raises pH.
