DEA, need help with cory.

DEA,

Was chatting with Simon about white spots and he said not all cories can take salt bath. Said you're the best person to ask. I have a bronze cory and 6 of either the Julii or Trilineatus. Would there be any problems?

Thanks.

[DEA]

you intend to remove them for a bath?
or adding the salt water to the tank?
if you're removing them, watch out for their spines
and i don't advocate removing them

the only species i have seen that are sensitive to salt are pandas
no other species i have seen suffer adverse effects from the lvl of salt we use for treating diseases

Thanks DEA.

I intend to treat the tank. Its not the cories that have whitespots, its my pearl gouramis.

[DEA]

i see
in that case, add the salt solution carefully, without pouring it all in at one shot
let it spread around some before adding the rest

[vinz]

Doh, forgot to ask. The 'aquarium salt' mentioned in the previous topic about white spots is marine aquarium salt?

[DEA]

no no
normal aquarium salt
the price itself will tell you the difference
10000000x more expensive ^ ^

Arghhhhh!!! More spending... []

Mucho mucho gracias.
