A Laxative Effect?!

[Chris&Phia]

Would anyone be able to tell me whether Interpet 8 has a laxative effect? because my guppies seem to be excessively pooing at the moment!

Thanks, Phia.

i dont think it has i think its more likely that you are watching the fish more and are noticing them pooing
not a thing we usually do for hours is watch one specific fish unless they are ill so you notice everything

guppies poo alot, its normal for them. i wouldn't worry to much

If they have the trots cut down on feeding.
What colour is the poo.

 

[Chris&Phia]

I suppose that is quite true pipoodle!
It's a kind of normal brownish colour just a lot ****** and longer than usual!
Also is there any chance that the Interpet 8 makes the guppt fry slow down on their eating?

Thanks, Phia.

Should only half dose with fry and even less as they don't handle meds to well when there little.

 

[Chris&Phia]

Ah, ok! Little bit late for that now, they are quite a bit more lively today than yesturday, so hopefully theyll be ok! I don't want to risk the rest of my mummy fish dying and i have no where else to put the fry so they should be ok, shouldn't they?

Thanks, Phia.

You can dilute the med down by a water change.
Maybe think of investing in a fry tank.

 

[Chris&Phia]

Yeah that might be an idea as my two females give birth about every 30 days! At the moment i have 69 fry, what could i do with some of them when they get older? Is there somewhere i can donate them to or sell them to where they'd be looked after well?

Thanks, Phia.

Some lfs will take fry if they have fry tanks.
