Hi Ingrid,
Is BioSpira a relatively expensive product (vs. Biozyme?)
.............. yes, w/in last year or so

How do you notice that your biobugs get cranky? (that is so funny)
or did you mean the fish get cranky for lack of good biobugs?
..... no, the water went cloudy meaning the biobugs were leaving the filter. within
12 hours after plugging the heater back in the water was clear.

I put him in that tank because he had developped sores, the sores
don't seem to be getting better, but they don't seem to be getting worst.
I'm sure he has flukes or something cause I've caught him flashing
and scrapeing once in a while. But I'm afraid to do the salt/peroxide
dip before the Qtine vat gets cycled, otherwise way too much stress for
poor Bubba.
.... doing the peroxide dip is not stressful compared to the flukes or ??? sores heal
in about 24 hours in clean water when there arent parasites .. so you are right, they
are keeping the sore open and festering. you do the dip outside of the tank, so the
tank biobugs arent affected. Ingrid
