concerned question

Can adding too much Water Conditioner hurt my fish?

 

[F1 VET]

Yes it can cause breathing problems among many other things, very toxic in high amounts.


If you think u overdosed do a 25% wc and add no dechlor unless its been over 12 hours.

You would have to overdose quite a bit to see any negative affects...

 

[rwellbaum]

yeah you would have to overdose alot

 

[taintedpolarity]

Depending on what dechlorinator you use, yes. However, I heard that with Stress Coat +, you need to put something like 5 times the recommended dose before the fish start even noticing it. I'd imagine its the same for other brands as well.

I would think the amount would depend on the situation. if you barely have enough oxygenation for the fish on a regular basis, it won't take as much as if you had a tank that was O2 saturated.
I would think the warmer the water, the less you'd need before seeing problems.

no hard data, just how I think it would work.

I also think you would really have to go overboard a lot before it would cause a problem.
