Hahahaha..... came back to Sg only late yesterday afternoon.... got so much to catch up in FH forum.....
sorry I dunno the exact dosage..... usually pour the yellow powder into tank until water turn slightly yellowish then must stop. Cannot use too much coz the medication is very strong n can be lethal to the fish...... |

Japanese Yellow Powder
Quote:
I dun use them.... i dunwan to tok abt dosage.... it'll kill all bb in the biogical system, adding more stress to the sick fish.... If u want to find out more abt it, goggle Sodium nifurstyrenate. Some say it may cause cancer, some countries ban it, some people kena charged in court for bringing into Australia (maybe some other countries too...) I recommend Interpet products, not because they r the best.... Its because most of the products r filter friendly & they r effective.... Interpet D24 |
