epsom salt

Used prazipro on a group of 8 loaches. Most of which actually looked great there was only one in the group which was skinny. Used exact dosage on bottle for tank size, also did a %50 water change before hand , used seachem prime, and a small amount of epsom salt for some plants in the tank...

Been a little confused about the difference in effects of Epsom Salt (MgSO4) vs Aquarium Salt (NaCl). Both are salts... ionic compounds. I've heard all over the internet that epsom salt draws out excess fluids from fish, and thus used to treat dropsy, bloat, constipation, prolapsed rectum, etc...

My ancient pleco developed bloat. I have done two big tank and filter changes, and fed him some minced peas. He became more active at first, but is still drifting and staying near the top of the tank. He's in a 35 gallon tank with another older catfish, and both have been very healthy until...

This forum and posts from members such as RD and others have become a valuable tool in successful fish keeping. I thank you! I cannot say enough good things about 3% magnesium sulfate treatment for GI problems with my African cichlids. I should make it known that I have not had one fish in...

I have a 125 that has some new peacocks that I got a few days ago. One juvie male sunshine that is starting to show color and one 4-5" mature aulonocara stuartgranti mbenji. I added them three days ago, and the larger male has been hiding and barely showing any interest in food. I havent seen...
