Water Treatment

**Chivas83** · 27th Mar 2017, 19:21

Hi Guys,

Tank = 15G
can i use the API Proper PH + Stresscoat together?

If so is there such a thing as too much dechlorinator since both remove chlorine?

Eg
Tank = 38L
Proper PH = 1 scoop for 38L
Stresscoast = 5ml for 38L
can i add 1 scoop + 5ml or must ratio?

Thanks!

hi there you know this animal

Freshwater or saltwater anemone

freshwater hydra? but normally very small, not sure what the size of yours.

**Guppendler** · 28th Mar 2017, 21:53

Hydra has only 8 tentacles, so it cannot be hydra

Hmm.... since no one has the answer to my first post, here's my second.

Just realised my gomi turning black from honey, is it normal?

Hi Chivas, no its not normal.

Its the same as rummy nose tetra, if their red nose is gone, it means water is bad.

Have you check ph and ammonia?

For your first post question, is that a marine set up? If yes the creature should be an anemone, I do not know freshwater anemone exists.

For the honey gourami turning black in the lower anterior region, that is usual for the males once they are ready to mate. They are bubble nest builder, so do provide some floating plants and you could have a mating pair in action soon

Guppendler, the photo shown considered the underside? I thought it should reflect nearer to the portion where the anus is?

Just to gain more knowledge

Sorry after re-reading the threads, I realised your first post questions are on the dechlorinator. Usually overdosing a little is not harmful to fish, but way too much might cause undesirable precipitations (cloudiness) and water pH to rise

Yes, for yellow (sunset) honey gourami, the black region is not as intense and extended as that of the orange honey gourami. The gourami in the photo looks absolutely healthy
