NetBelleAnie Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 I was wondering if anyone has tried using Fritz Maracyn Oxy in their tanks. The SDS says it's a proprietary chemical, but I'm assuming it's some peroxide type chemical. I'm curious how it would work with shrimp and snails, since the packaging says "Not suitable for use with starfish or related species; safe for use with other types of invertebrates" Thoughts?

Guppysnail Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 I know very little about marine creature. Somewhere on here I picked up a strange info tidbit that starfish do not have blood. I just looked it up to make certain I remembered it correctly. This may be why it affects them differently. from the internet Sea stars, commonly called, "starfish," are not fish. They do not have gills, scales, or fins. Sea stars live only in saltwater. Sea water, instead of blood, is actually used to pump nutrients through their bodies via a 'water vascular system. ... Tube feet also help sea stars hold their prey.Feb 26, 2021 https://oceanservice.noaa.gov › facts Are starfish really fish? - NOAA's National Ocean Service 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
