Detoxing your fish….
 |
Recently one of my fish began to show great discoloration, a purple-ish gray fish normally, was turning a gray color on his face. I thought at first it might be ick, and gave it a few drops of a treatment. nothing. so I got online a learned about how to “detox” your fish. Sometimes no matter what you do to your water there are still minerals left in it, this may not hurt your fish physically, but may cause some discoloration to it, therefore you need to give your little guy some “beauty rest”.
Now how to detox your fish.
1. Get a medium sized container (gladware, butter bowl, etc.) Big enough for you little guy to swim in.
2. Rinse bowl out with hot water.
3. Add spring water into the bowl. Not tap or purified, too many chemicals.
4. Place fish in the bowl.
5. Add NO CHEMICALS to the water!
6. Let him set for 24-48 hours and feed as usual.
7. After the time passes put him back in his normal tank, after a fresh water change and he will look great!
