Questions
I have a tank with 6 corys. How many of these wafers should I be giving them daily?
- Depends on the size of the fish, and if there are other bottom feeders . Small corys maybe 1 break it up if possible. This way you won't have leftovers to mess up the balance of the tank. You could feed more if you feed less often .

It did dye the water and changed the color bluish-greenish. I add two a day. Is it too much for a ten gallon of 1 pleco 4 Dalmatian tank.
- You should only put what your pleco will eat right away. A 10 gallon tank is way to small for a pleco if you want him to grow big. I have 2 plecos in a 70 gallon tank. They both are 24 inches long and 8 inches in circumference. The Tetra wafers are ok for your pleco. I have never had my water change color, you may have gotton a bad bag. The pleco will also like Tetra shrimp wafers & Hikari sinking wafers. Hikari algae wafers are top of the line food for plecos. If your pleco is not eating what you put in, use less or 1 wafer. Remember the bigger the tank the bigger the fish. Also don't crowed the tank with other fish. They don't like that. Good luck. Dan

How much Fenbendazole would you give to a box turtle that weighs about to or less than 3 lbs? Where can you get it and what should I buy
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
He's a full grown betta fish, I've had him for a little over half a year, adopted him from a friend. He has a filter and a heater in his tank & I try to stick with recommended products. As of the last couple months, his fins are curling up in the back and he will only eat one pellet every other day or so. I had been feeding him three pellets twice daily. Last week I started cleaning his 1 gallon tank twice a week instead of once a week, and am considering upgrading to a 2.5 gallon tank instead.
