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.

Medication suggestion for a month old baby rat with beginner signs of a URI.
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?

My vast has another uti and I have amoxidrops 250mg/5ml but I can't read what the dosage anymore and my syringe is in ml. Can you help me to give him the right dose please?
If my 4 yr dog has been on Apoquel for 4 months does he require a blood test to continue
Can u suggest me the dosage or direction of giving beapher bone builder powder
Why do liquid fish oils recommend twice to triple the dose of gel cap fish oils? Just curious. Is it because they presume the liquid fish oils will go rancid faster. RX vitamins isn't a pump bottle it's a flip top, so I'm assuming it doesn't go rancid as fast. Is this true or will it go rancid faster? If I give half the dose will she still be getting adequate amounts of omega 3? Thanks! I like Nordic naturals but I like that RX vitamins has added vitamin E, minerals and omega 6.
I have a 3 pound yorkie I need to give amoxidrop to and I only have a up to 3ml dropper. Can you help with dosage please
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.
