Hi all,
We had a bit of a disaster this week after treating our 120litre aqua szut tank with Tetra general. We lost a gourami, 3 platys & our beloved cory We dosed correctly but I have a feeling that we had not aerated the tank sufficiently to compensate for the treatment.
After some great advice on here......(thank you Julian!), I have been doing 25% water changes daily and what fish we have left seem to be buzzing again, (although, their personalities have changed....i.e. those who were quite aggressive are now passive and vise versa!).
My question is, as the fish have obviously been through a trauma this week, am I able to pour some fresh garlic water directly into the tank to boost their immune systems? I've heard you can soak veg in garlic water and put them in but I'm just curious........I was going to soak some cucumber in garlic later for them but will it help to also add some of the water direct to the tank? I've made some homemade garlic water that I'm keeping in the fridge!
Thanks for any help!
