Guest Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 Yeah Caper I learnt that when The Animates woman said it was useless and wouldn't do it. The easiest way to get it from the bottom is to use your siphon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jn Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 Why would that be the case? The water circulates constantly..I'm not sure how it would make a difference. Can someone explain the reasoning? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilknieval69 Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 I doubt that in any normal tank the water would be any different from top to bottom. Unless of course you had a tank with no circulation or something, but im sure it would still be the same because of convection currents if the tank is heated, and general movement around the tank.

Guest Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 I'm not totally sure why you have to get the water from the bottom of the tank thats just what I was told to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 I have always just dipped the testtube under at the top of the water. Never heard of anyone being told to take it from the bottom. As said, if you have proper filtration the water circulation would ensure readings were identical top and bottom. Anyone want to do some test readings and see if they get different results? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowfax Posted October 3, 2007 Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 ok, an update on this Seriously though....is there anyway the association can lobby for better access to some basic fish meds? Prazi is a well recognised medication (it's even mentioned in the Merck's Vet manual online). Surely we should be able to buy it in liquid form in suitable fish-sized containers? been in touch with some one i know that was working for a drug company for pets, the problem is that not alot of vets are willing to give their support to new product lines for cats & dogs let alone fish!! i was told to get in touch with brooklands but unless there is a real demand it just wont happen. at this stage the best thing everyone can do is to either pester fish product suppliers or someone find a supply & have a backyard business & supply us all! sorry it wasn't more helpful but now im just waiting for a responce from someone else.

jn Posted October 3, 2007 Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 I emailed brooklands a couple weeks back asking if they still imported fluketabs (they don't) and they said I should talk to my vet to get me some praziquantel! So they're sending us in circles.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
