SOLEMNDRAGON Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 5 Grams per litre if i am not mistaken. should be fine. Thats the dosage rate i give my tanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D6C1 Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 Use table salt. Its sea salt. Get it 2kg from woolies for like a $1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boss Hog Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 I think melafix is the best but as others have said salt does help to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robdog013 Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 When my maingano males get badly beaten I usually chuck them in my bristlenose tank for about 2 weeks and they heal up quickly, but when I place them back in the main tank they get smashed agin.. its a vicious cycle.

Ash Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 you want pure salt, not table salt - iodised or not. The non-iodised stuff has an aluminum compound in it. Saxa & a few of the common brand make rock salt that is perfect for it - the rock stuff that you'd put in a grinder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dobbin4 Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 Too many males it seems and try the reverse ,, remove the beater up and then put him back in a few days later.Think about it would you keep getting thumped by the same guy or just remove yourself from his area???
