Is this epoxy safe to use in a populated aquarium or should it be allowed to cure before adding livestock?
- Yes, this epoxy is safe to use in a populated aquarium. I regularly use it to attach corals in my full reef. It can sometimes cause the protein skimmer to bubble more than it would normally, but that is nothing to worry about.

I purchased the soft claws from your store but the glue was dried up. What is the glue and could I just use crazy glue?
Hello, I have a betta and I'm sure he has moderate fin rot. Thing is I have him in a 1.1 bowl because I broke my bigger 2.5 gal tank. Ive been doing water changes and recently bought aquarium salt, bettafix, and Tail and Body Cure from API but I'm not sure how to use it in such a small tank w/o a heater... I know its such a bad environment but its not for long. I just need my betta to last a weak till I get a decent tank. Could you please give me a suggestion. I greatly appreciate your time.
my male betta has moderate fin rot & the people at the pet store told me to put him in a quarantine tank with aquarium salt for 7-10 days. he’s lethargic, not eating, and not moving much and im very worried. ive had him in a quarantine tank for 2 days now but pieces of his fins are still falling off. how long does the aquarium salt take to take effect? if the aquarium salt doesn’t work, what else could i try?
I just purchased imagitarium aquarium salt for my betta. I have never used aquarium salt before and It says on the label that I can combine it with sprinkling in a little bit of food once a day. Does this mean it is safe to add the salt in with my fish in the tank? What process should I take so he doesn't become overwhelmed? Also does this help prevent/get rid of fin rot? Thank you!
I have a black moor gold fish who has a severe case of Popeye I quarantined him in a separate , but I’m not sure what medication to use for him .
My fish has droppy and I'm very scared for him. Please tell me how I can cure this effectively and fast
Hi,we are doing some remodeling and repair at home now and my cat have stepped without being noticed on adhesive,that is waterproof and forms hard, strong white material.I noticed it later when I was hugging him that his paw pads are covered with white adhesive and unfortunately it's already dried and hard.Is there any safe way to remove it from his paws or should I wait for it to fall by itself,I'm concerned about that he will licks his paws and may consume some of the adhesive?
The fish has attacks of fast uncontrolled movement since we have it. Sometimes it hits itself on walls and objects. Lately it lays down on the floor on the side and rubs itself on objects. It got scratches all over and hurt his eye. It eats normally. No visible parasites, but seems something itches it on the skin. We bought Imagitarum Parasites Remedy, but hesitate to use it as some reviews say fish died of it. We also have shrimps and snails. Should we use the remedy?
I have a betta fish that hangs out in the bottom. I noticed he has fin rot. I cleaned his 5-gallon tank 100%. I put in water conditioning that puts on a slime coat for the fish and aquarium salt. He still isn't getting better and looks a little worse. What should I do?
My year old has contracted either Ich or velvet. He is trying to scratch against his tank he has white patches but also when I've shined a light on him It also looks like he could have velvet. When I noticed his lethargy and his behavior I immediately transferred him into a smaller bowl to treat him with betafix (all I have until the pet shop opens covered his bowl to leave him in darkness His appetite is normal. He's bloated and is breathing but his gills I think are swollen. IDontWantHimToDie
I’m trying to cycle a 10 gal fish tank. I have been adding your biological booster for a month now and nothing is happening. The ammonia is holding steady at .5 ppm and I’m not seeing any nitrites. Is there a way I can test to see if there are actually live bacteria in the booster. I’ve checked everything else I can think of.
I have a wolf fish that seems to be sick. He is upside down in the tank now for 24 hrs. He is still breathing but seems to bee struggling. I have increased the temp in the tank and added aquarium salt. I have added a bacterial and fungal treatment today into the tank. I have used some moss to prop him up correctly in hopes this will help him. What would u suggest? Please help.
