NPnewbie Posted June 25, 2004 Report Share Posted June 25, 2004 I wonder if anyone here can tell what this might be....I've just noticed on the tail fin of one of my comet a cluster of 3 to 4 tiny little blisters...looks like eggs with a red dot in one or two of them....couldn't be eggs could they? otherwise the fish looks and swims fine ......it is happy as Larry but for this growth??

NPnewbie Posted June 28, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2004 Thanks Alan. Do I get this salt from the pet shop?? Is it special salt? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Posted June 28, 2004 Report Share Posted June 28, 2004 never BUY SALT AT A PET SHOP uNLESS OF COURSE YOU ARE IN A DIFFERENT WAGE BRACKET THAN ME. iT USE TO BE SAID THAT non-IODISED SALT SHOULD BE USED, BUT NOW THE THINKING IS THAT IT DOESN'T REALLY MATTER. tHE CHEAPEST PLACE TO GET SALT imho, IS AT A FARM SUPPLIERS. Like Farmlands or Wrightsons. I got a heap of it, still got some, I bought Rock-salt that is heavy granulated stuff. Remember to dissolve the salt first b4 putting fish into the water tho. Sorry about the Caps, aren't going to change it tho. Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
