As for your contention that 'if it won't hurt a person, it won't hurt a
fish' - I think that one is a little too broad. The dosage different would need to be 1000 times smaller due to the differences in mass (imagine eating 1000 teaspoons of table salt ;~). Fish also have some sensitivities we don't have (ie: copper) and don't have, some we have (ie: iron?). Err, I think all anmalks are equally affected by heavy metal ions. I don't think either fish or people can handle cyanide well ;~). The cyanide ion is deadly to all red blooded animals. Blocks hemoglobin or soemthing. it's cyanate that's in salt. I think. don't quote me. -- Need Mercedes parts ? - http://parts.mbz.org Richard Sexton | Mercedes stuff: http://mbz.org 1970 280SE, 72 280SE | Home page: http://rs79.vrx.net 633CSi 250SE/C 300SD | http://aquaria.net http://killi.net |
