- It is 20 drops of API QuickStart for every gallon of water.
Helpful?
When should I put fish into my aquarium after putting API quick start?
How many times do you add this to your tank just once or like once every few days?
- We would recommend to add when performing maintenance to the aquarium or when it is becoming established. It will not be harmful if used more frequently (1-2 times a week).
Helpful?
Can I use this for a betta fish?
- Yes, I have used this product with a betta fish.
Helpful?
Is Quick Start the same as Stress Zyme? How are they different? Are they safe to use in Bettas tanks? Can I use with Stress Coat Plus? Are API products compatible with other brands or must I use them with API products only?
- Quick Start is not same as Stress Zyme. Different usage and benifits. Can be use in betta tanks with right dosage. Both best to use with Stress Coat. Not familiar on API products' compatibility with other brand products.

I can use for add new fish in my aquarium with my other old fish..? And only i need add at the water with my fish in the water, 10ml for 10galons say the bottle its ok
I just started a 20 gallon tank. I already have fish in it. I bought a mini 1OZ bottle of this to try. On my next water change is this safe to add while fish are in it?
- Yes, it is safe. Just follow recommended dosage. I use it each time I do water change and my fish is doing fine.
Helpful?
If you put to much in a tank will it kill the fish?
I recently set my tank back up & now the aquarium water has been cloudy for about 3-4 weeks
- Do you have sand substrate? If so you might not have rinsed it enough and might need a water clarifier so that your filter can take it out. It could also be bacterial bloom which is the beginning phase of the nitrogen cycle in new tanks
Helpful?
I accidently used quick start in my aquarium that expired in may 2019. The lid was always kept on the bottle and it was kept in a dark area at room temperature. Was it efficient in my tank or do I need to add more?
- You would need to buy a new bottle, since all the beneficial bacteria included in the liquid would be die when it expires.

I mixed domeboro in a spray bottle for my dogs skin condition. Once it's mixed how long is it good for?
I've been giving my guinea pigs this for a supplement and it's been working great. When I got Sebastian he was 3 months so I only did 16 drops, but Sincestian is now 8 months I was thinking putting the full dose of 32 drops in the water. But Cosmo is only five months. If I went to 32 drops would it be bad for Cosmo? I do have two water bottles but they share everything so either way he will drink the other bottle.
I have a 14ib dog with skin allergies. Ive had 2 consults and both vets suggest this apoquel medication. THE DIFFERENCE IS IN THE STRENGTH FOR A 14LB DOG. What strength would you suggest?
12 lb cockapoo, urinary frequency, frank bloody urine. Started just this morning. I have been treating her ear infection successfully with essential oils. My representative is not reachable. Any homeopathic remedies for UTI?
I have 4 Fosters. My smallest one has eye goop in her left eye. I got tobryamiacin eye drops (.3%) through the organization. Yesterday was the first dose & this morning the lower eyelid was swollen. I cleaned it with some saline & put another drop in her eye. Is there anything I can do to help alieve the swelling at home or will she need a vet? She is 6 weeks old & a little over 12oz.
Bought cold pressed Flax Oil for Oscar ( English Bulldog ) for his itching, mixed into his food as recommended but unfortunately Oscar will not entertain it. Any help would be appreciated thanks Peter.
My 20 year old female domestic shorthair was just prescribed Orbax, 1 ml/day, 20 ml oral suspension for a UTI. She is impossible to "pill" or dose with the syringe, but usually will take it in chicken broth. Today is the 3rd wasted dose and I'm starting to panic. No matter what I mix it up with, she rejects it. We hate to try to force pilling or syringe dosing because she is getting frail and we don't want to injure her. Please help! She's still doing great at 21, just stubborn. I love her
My vet recommended a lime sulfur dip for my dog's red itchy skin. I made an excess amount of the dip.. I have it in a 1 gallon container. How long can the solution be stored? Room temp? Refrigerated?
Hi I ordered a spray bottle for mites do you know when I might get it
I am fostering a 3 week old bottle baby with a URI that she is taking liquid doxycycline for. Its day two of medicine. She is very congested and her breathing is whistling. I have been using the humidifier but it doesn't seem to be helping much. Is there anything else I can do to help her breathe easier? I also think she's constipated as she has only pooped once in the last 5 days. Is there something natural I can give her to help her poop?
Our cat was prescribed liquid Biomox by his vet. The only guidance we were given was a) keep it refrigerated and b) give a 1 mL dose twice a day. We are on the third day and I realized that in small print on the bottle it says to dilute the medicine with 11 mL of water. Have we been overmedicating our cat because we did not dilute the medicine? The vet said nothing about this, and it isn't on the label or paperwork the vet gave us. Thank you!
What should be used to wash the black discharge from the corner of my puppy's eyes. She's a Maltese Shitzu hybrid. The active ingredient is Purified Water (99.05%)
