i have an Aloe Vera house plant, and some times parts get broken off on accident or for some other reason, i was wondering if the sap inside the plant is beneficial for the fish's slime coat. i know several conditioners and products use aloe vera, or at least claim to use to help repair and heal damaged scales or slime coat. i just wanted to know if i can use the plant in the form i have it (just by extracting the sap from the plant, like squeezing/milking the plant}. or do i have to treat or process the sap in some way, so its not toxic or harmful to my fish. thanks. -
I have been slowly stocking 60 gallon tall. 1st ones added after med trio was 4 months ago. Last ones after med trio a month ago. I have a batch in QT right now. Question is when should I just deworm the display tank? After fully stocked? Or should I do it now before I add this batch? And in future how often should it be done? -
Want to know if it worthwhile to add medication (the Tri-meds) from time to time just in case any fish are sick and it's unnoticed? Let's say once every six months or so. -
Tried to look this up but didn't find anything. Has anyone ever considered, heard of, or thought of, what i can only think of describing as preventive medication? I mean beyond just the initial quarantine period for a new fish. It's something that just occurred to me one day for some reason. The concept of say, maybe once a year, doing a med dosing on your tank just in case any of the fish have something that hasn't yet displayed symptoms. Is this even a thing? Has anyone done it or is there any validity to it? On the one hand i'm curious if it would have any benefit, on the other i could see it being excessive or paranoid.
