Works Wonders - Great Product
I bought this product as a last minute hope of saving my Pearl Gourami. The Pearl was extremely ill. It began with rocking back and forth (front to back, not side to side). Then eyes clouded, lesions formed and erratic darting around the tank began. The Pearl then was barely breathing, lying on it's side on the bottom of the tank. I dropped the treatment in anyway, even though she appeared to be a goner. I had picked it up from Walmart and was a little skeptical, but it was worth a try. In the morning she was upright, and actually ate a little. By day 3 of treatment, she was back to 90% and by day 5 of treatment (final day), you would never know she had even been ill. This product works better than any I've used.
But a word of caution: The main ingredient is essentially a broad disinfectant and will likely wipe out your good bacteria, destroying your bio-filtration. So keep an eye on ammonia levels. I also recommend - if you have multiple tanks - taking a handful of gravel...
Much better than expected!
I haven't kept Betta's in almost 2 decades. So when my girlfriend's male went from a boisterous, ghost shrimp chasing, pellet gobbling machine to a worn out blue lump on the bottom of the aquarium...I didn't know what to do. He didn't show any signs of trauma or disease...he simply seemed to have lost the will to swim...or eat...or live. My first thought was constipation, but he wouldn't eat peas and I'm not sold on the Epsom Salt treatment, so we moved him to a smaller 5g quarantine aquarium. He didn't show any signs of improvement and I feared we may be running out of time to save him...but what do we treat him for? Fungus? Virus? Parasites? Bacteria?
I get off work at 6am...the only people selling fish meds at that hour are the Walton's. They had Melafix (same thing as Bettafix, just use 1/5 of the recommended dose), but that's really only good for fin rot, and some fungi. I didn't want to treat the wrong thing. Then I saw Lifeguard on the self...a broad-spectrum,...
Works great for a cloudy tank.
I don't know exactly what was in my fish thank that was making the water cloudy ... But, whatever it was these tabs cleared the water after the first day. I have a 15 gallon tank so I use three tabs per day.
I used them before from wal-mart but only had enough to treat for two days. I had also left the carbon filter in. It cleared the water up for about a week, but because I didn't follow the directions and didn't treat for 5 days, I think is why the water became cloudy again ...
I have three more days to treat the tank. I followed the directions this time. If the water does get cloudy again after following the directions with this treatment, I'll post an update. If it stays clear, you'll know it worked for me!
