I ran across this article that I thought I would share with you all. It's about putting orange peels in the tank to improve health and eating habits of sick fish. Read it for your self.
Has anyone heard of this before? It's a new one on me but very interesting.
"Tyler credits “either Dick Au (a well known San Francisco author and discus breeder), or a transshipper…I can’t remember” with sharing this little bit of fish husbandry voodoo with him [Editor’s update – we’ve confirmed this came from Dick Au]. The trick was to place an orange peel in the aquarium for 24 hours. Each day, remove the old orange peel, and add another. As he explained it, you can do this for up to seven days before you should “give the fish a break.” A few days “off” with some carbon and a water change and you could repeat the “treatment” if needed. But wait, I haven’t even told you what this supposedly does!"
