imsweet Posted June 3, 2007 Report Share Posted June 3, 2007 Did a water change /siphon on the wcmm tank and the very next day 2 of the females were dead on the bottom. Mentioned it to someone who breeds goldies and they said just put some regular salt in 'any time they look out of sorts'. Is this recommended? and how much? Its only a small 20ltr tank with java moss and a few small stalks of plant (floating and planted) and now 5 wcmm. It has a small filter also. Had them all for about a year and no real problems. Any help will be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pegasus Posted June 3, 2007 Report Share Posted June 3, 2007 Hi there, Golfish keepers often use Salt as ... A Tonic... A Cure... A Preventative.. plus a number of other uses.. but it is not "normal" practice to add it to a White Cloud Mountain Minnow tank.. You say: Did a water change /siphon on the wcmm tank and the very next day 2 of the females were dead on the bottom. Is it possible that you have dragged up some bad sediment or bacteria when you were doing the syphon..? This would seem to be the likely cause if it happened the day after the tank clean. Bill.

Wok Posted June 4, 2007 Report Share Posted June 4, 2007 I'd go with 1tsp everytime you do a water change. but for a short time only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imsweet Posted June 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2007 Thanks for that, i forgot to mention that they are in an unheated tank (if that makes a difference?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
