Spanky and others, One for the Books!

I thought I had seen it all but then I ran across this post on another message board. Below is a quote:

" I have been doing something for awhile that may make new fish live longer. I soak live brine in a solution of maracyn and formalin and water so that the brine are coated or absorb it. When I feed it to the new fish in my Q tank, the formalin is supposed to aide the liver in removing cyanide and the antibiotics help clean out the system. I have not had fish problems in a very long time."

I would love to hear what you guys think of this one.

That has to be a typo in your quote.
I want to think it is supposed to read:


"...the formalin is supposed to aid the cyanide in removing the liver, and the antibiotics help clean out the wallet. I have not had fish live for a very long time."

You know, this would be a fun thread.

"All the things we've heard over the years."

I know you guys haven't saved them either though!

Preserved fish!

Considering that when you're using prepared foods as a vehicle to transport meds into a animal, as a rule you have to use a much higher concentration of most meds.
If the BS are still alive, he's not doing anything - really.

I was thinking, the hobbyist could have just as easily substituted Guiness extra stout, or even Henriques & Henriques Madeira, for all that junk.

Somehow it would seem more humane.
I mean, if I were the fish....



I hope the hobbyist in question has since been advised properly.
