Hi Friends !
Hope all is well and great !
Someone told me that Activated Carbon can adsorb and remove the Growth Reducing (Stunting) Pheromones excreted by the fish. Just wanted to know if this is really true and effective. Even if it is, then wont regular partial water changes remove them too ?
Actually I have 3 bags of activated carbon in one of my Filter baskets and I'm not even sure if its a good brand (its a brand called Boyu - any ideas ?) I basically want to prevent the stunting of my Frontosas (as they're a little overstocked)
If its really not worth it, then I plan to remove the carbon and fill the basket with some Ceramic Rings for mechanical filtration or Eheim Substrat Pro for Bio-Filtration.
Will be a great help if you can kindly guide me if I should continue to use the Carbon or should I use the basket for ceramic rings or substrat pro ?
Kindly help me Friends...
Thanks and Regards
Kush
