Anyone Ever Used This Strange Fert?

[micko]

I was reading a book about fish last night and was looking briefly through the planted area of it.
It said, and I quote "if you keep rabbits or guinea pigs, their droppings are an excenllent fertilizer, and come ready pelleted! Dry and store them in a tin"

What's the deal with this? Has anyone ever done this? Or even heard of it?

Thanks. I did do a search myself but couldn't find anything. I'm thinking of giving it a try

From what I've heard its just a case of drying them out and then pushing them into the substrate.
In a high tech tank would you notice a difference? No, probably not because you're already dosing macro and micro nutrients into the water column. Could you see results in a low tech tank that doesn't have a nutrient substrate.....maybe..

Mine is super low tech. I don't even have a light for it. Just natural daylight.

Any pics?

The kids got some virus on the PC so I cannot upload them. I've tried using imageshack and another few sites but none of them seem to work from my mobile.
Wish they could fix it so that it was possible to upload from a phone.
Oh, and by the way. Its a jungle. That's it. No scape, no nothing. Just plants every where and them growing out the top of the tank.

I can upload to Photobucket from my phone...

Still plants grow and no algae. A lot to be said for red cherries.

 

[minnnt]

red cherries?

Just downloaded the photobucket app. Pictures taking an age to upload but will come.

Usual case mate, uploading is quite slow to photobucket. Worth it though if you get to show off your tanks.

Looking forward to it mate

Well this is fun I must say. Cannot connect to the internet. Blah blah blah. The app is downloaded but it won't upload pictures. Going to look for another one.

 

[coldcazzie]

I don't use an app!

I use the browser. Go to Photobucket site, click upload now, it asks me if I want to upload a picture from my gallery or take a new one. I find the picture, upload it, takes about 5 seconds usually. Job done.

Why confuse things with apps?!

For the record its a HTC Desire

Ps, mint he means red cherry shrimp.
