What to put with Ploppy

Well, were all nuts, we actually care about the millions of fish who live horible lives. well, would you consider keeping a baby in a rabit cage, were the temp. is always cold and theres little to eat cruel? well if you do, thats what happens to MILLIONS of fish and you don't think that's worth worrying about? People like you shoudn't be aloud to keep any living thing's, wether it be a cat, dog, hampster, FISH. this is not the place to have an attitude like that, and somebody DEFINETLY needs to ban you. your nuts, you took up our bandwith wich usually runs out at the end of the month and you definetly shouldn't be aloud to have ANY animals. who else think's were all nuts?

Well, if that's how you feel, then I have the perfect solution for you:

Sell all your fish and equipment for as much money as you can get. Then take the money and send it to:

UNICEF
333 East 38th Street
New York, NY 10016

All settled :D

We're not nuts, we just care about your pets more than you do, which is extremely unfortunate for them.

Roan that idea is perfect!

i love my fishes my tetras in my tetrarium and my goldfish (ploppy)
but if i dont put him in a tropical tank what am i menat to do with him
around here we have three fish shops
the one in town who dosnt take any fish in for any reason the garden cetre with aqua centre whic is the same
and my fish breeder
who wont take him from me if he has white spot (which they came with when i was given them as a birthday present before you start to shout and ball at me for me being a bad pet owner)
bTW i would happily exchange him for a male betta but i cant shift the white spot
i have been trteating him for two weeks now with interpet but they still come back
i have tested the water and nitrite is zero so is ammonia and nitrate.
at the moment he is flicking and dashing about more and more (is this a sign of the white spot paracite letting go?)
sorry i was rude but i was responding to an equally rude answer i got form another member here :)
 
thank you
i just remebered my fileter had a charcoal filter sponge in it so i have now removed it and re dosed
 
Re-dosed with something that is obviously not working? If you've had the same charcoal in the filter for the entire time you've been dosing your fish, it is not active anymore. At most they last a week.

I really suggest you read the article I linked.

:troll: IMO.

White spot is another name for ich right? How does salt/heat work with goldfish? I would think that enough heat to kill the parasite would be extremely unhealthy for coldwater fish...
 
Generally heat is raised to speed up the life cycle of ich..in colder water ich can remain dormant for a longer period of time.(less active).

the salt throws a loop into the balance of the parasite.
 
1 tablespoon of salt per gallon will kill ich in a few days and your fish will live quite happily through the ordeal. Add 1 teaspoon per gallon every twelve hours for a total of three doses. Leave the salt in for a week or two and everything will be fine. Take it out gradually with 50% water changes every 12 hours or so.

I've done this with goldfish (only goldfish...many tropicals can't handle that much salt) and it worked very well, and very quickly. Raising the temp. will speed things up, but it isn't necessary if your tank is in the 70's and you leave the salt in for 2 weeks. Good luck!
