Morning all, Micro, I will check into the salt . I hope it will be possible. sounds like an easy fix.
Well, dr. called. Yes, I had another MI. Blood work is still elevated.

Oh my, I am so sorry to hear that. Take care. Are they talking about you needing angioplasty or a stint?

Yes, the salt did work on the fungus/algae can't remember what it was classified as although I think the fungus on the fish was called cotton fungus or cotton ball fungus. I had to estimate the amount of water in the pond and add salt accordingly. It sounded like a lot but wasn't.

I think I had to do a partial water swap afterwards but the infection didn't come back.

Will adding a therapeutic amount of salt to the water have any affect on algae or be detrimental to the shrimp?

I can remember having an algae outbreak in one of my ponds that had the koi and comets growing fungus on their scales to the point that it would engulf the fish and kill it. The solution to the problem was to salinate the pond to kill the algae. I did and it worked.

G'morning everyone. I'm sitting here with toast and coffee.

It's hazy here too.

I have some sort of weird stringy fungus like stuff in my big tank. Started on the Java moss. Tossed that, now on my Java sword. It reminds me of Mini Spanish moss.

It's probably a fungal infection, Cap.

On plants? Never saw one like this. I may add a little more salt to the water. My fish are doing great. The platies keep having babies. The first group is growing up.

I was thinking about the Java sword. Isn't that a fish?

Nope, it's a plant

Today is garbage day. I will have a load in my truck, hope all fits. So much to do and so little energy.

Oops...never mind.

But there are algaecides that you can get that will not harm plants or fish.

Frankly I always went with artificial plants unless doing live bearers and then I just used moss for them.
