wolvo23 Posted November 25, 2011 Author Share Posted November 25, 2011 I want to use it as a laxative for my africans! i have a fish that hasn't been herself and has not been feeding for a few days, it looks as it may be bloated or constipated.

Elapid Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 Well you can't expect an answer that will remedy your problem when you don't outline what the problem is.What kind of Africans? A little more information would go a long way, as would a notch down in your attitude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolvo23 Posted November 25, 2011 Author Share Posted November 25, 2011 Well i thought it was a pretty straight forward question! All i wanted help with was if there is a set dose of epsom salts when people add to there water as a laxative? ei, one table spoon per ?ltr? I wasn't trying to outline a problemI don't feel there was any attitude given. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RD. Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 I didn't sense any type of attitude either .......Depending on the severity of the case, a dosage of 1 to 3 teaspoons per 5 gallons is generally recommended.HTH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Just wondering how much epsom salts to add to the tankwater? is there a set dosage?"Epsom salts are used both for a laxative and for a buffer of water so your posts wasn't "straightforward" at all.Why exactly do you want to make your fish crap? Are you overfeeding?Just let me know if you couldn't be bothered answering questions and I will just stop trying to help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
