Got a Beta fish today, got 4 questions now. help?
ok so i got my fish from a guy who works with my mom, he's moving and can't take "flounder" with him. he didn't leave any instructions with my mom. i have a fish tank that says "MINI-BOW 2.5 AQUARIUM" first question i have is, does that mean my aquarium is 2.5 gallons?
now my other problem is he gave me something called Strees Coat. it's from Aquarium Pharmaceuticals. i read the instructions and it says to use 2 tsps per 10 U.S. Gallons. idk how to convert that down to my 2.5 gallon tank. so my second question is how much of that do i use?
my thrid is he gave me blood worms, freeze dried, and he said that he feeds him every day at 9 and then 5. should i keep feeding him at those times? and if so, how many blood worms should i give him??
my last question is... what do you think of the name "flounder" for a beta? lol! i'll consider any reasonable suggestions.
thanks a bunch!!
Bettas need 5+gallons heated and filtered minimum. They orriginate from large paddies NOT PUDDLES
Use a half a tsp of stress coat for a 2.5 gallon or 1 tsp for a 5 gallon. Stress coat will remove the chlorine.
Bloodworms are a treat. Buy some proper betta flakes or pellets.
I like the name flounder
good luck

Veterinary Compounding for Zoos
When the San Diego Wildlife Park needs medication for a sick animal, what do they do? After all, the park's caregivers can't just head down to the local animal clinic or pet supply store and pick up the proper medications off the shelf. It can also be a tremendous undertaking to try and configure the dosage recommendations for a two-ton elephant, let alone getting the elephant to take the medication.
That's why San Diego Wildlife Park and many other zoos, animal parks and wildlife centers use veterinary compounding pharmacies.
What are Veterinary Compounding Pharmacies?
Veterinary compounding pharmacies work with the zoo's veterinarian to develop and create customized medications and/or dosages for every animal living at these centers and zoos.
Veterinary compounding pharmacies are essential to the health and wellness of zoo animals. In many cases, an animal may require a medication that is discontinued, no longer available or in a strength that is not commercially made. Pharmaceutical compounding companies have the technology and the ability to create these necessary medications from scratch, exclusively for the patients that need them.
Compounding pharmacies are also capable of adding flavors that are pleasantly palatable to the animal, making it much easer on both the animal and the individual administering the medication.
In some cases, traditional dosage forms are not an option with various zoo animals. Therefore, a compounding pharmacy has the expertise necessary for creating alternative dosage forms, like liquids, injectables or transdermal gels.
