I bought a sick Gar

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I would keep it at standard tropical temp 72-78... and just keep the tank clean with water changes, and live food and see if it eats. As stressed as it is tossing more at it may kill it imo. lights off, quiet area, ect... dont forget some floating planst for it to hide in and feel secure. If it survives the initial few days and starts eating then address any other health issues. imo some quality TLC can do wonders, sometimes that means backing off abit. abit of salt might help but I wouldn't do a full dose right out the gate. if its suffered ammonia burns, its either goign to survive it or not.. salt only helps if its continues exposure... after teh damage has been done how I understand it salt doesnt do squat but add one more "new" element to it's stressing. or am I wrong Ryan?
