JessicaandMarshall 2 Posted April 23, 2004 All of those bubbles are in my tank!! I'm afraid the bubbles are going to overflow out onto the floor. Stupid pimafix. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
may 0 Posted April 23, 2004 That certainly is bubbly... good luck with that, lol. Gotta hate the stuff that happens when you add things to your tank... I can still remember how scared I was the first time I used Maracyn and I couldn't even see my fish through the cloudy water. Do you have a bubble stone/wall in there? Is there any way you could slow it down, even poking holes in the airline tubing (I've done that when I didn't want to buy a fancy valve), just until you're done with the pimafix? 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JessicaandMarshall 2 Posted April 23, 2004 Yes I have a 12" airstone in there and my filter makes almost as much bubbles as the airstone when it hits the water. Good news, about 1/2 hour ago, the bubbles started dissapearing, there are still a few, but not like when I took the picture!! I hate using medications! May, I know what you mean, I remember using Jungle Fungus Eliminator once, and it freaked me out when my water turned bright yellow! Jessica 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
emmahj 5 Posted April 23, 2004 I can still remember how scared I was the first time I used Maracyn and I couldn't even see my fish through the cloudy water. Yup, me too! I was panicking because thought I'd put the wrong amount in and OD'd all the fish. Why the heck doesn't it warn you on the packet that the water's going to go cloudy?! Mind you, it's good stuff. Seems to have cured Augustus's finrot. At least all Melafix does is to make your tank smell nice! 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
toothless 4 Posted April 23, 2004 (edited) jess, yeah, i know what you mean. there not harmful in any way, just unsightly. emma, what do you mean "nice"? i cant stand that smell (yuk)! it reminds me of that facial mask that my stepmom use to use called "noxema".

Guest Hutchtaz Posted April 23, 2004 Good idea, Toothless. I bet that would help with popping the bubbles. I have to side with Emma on the smell. I like it! 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CalicoFantail 0 Posted April 23, 2004 Wow scary, I would have freaked if I saw that many bubbles 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JessicaandMarshall 2 Posted April 24, 2004 Toothless remember I had that bad experience with Pimafix, and several of my fish crashed to the bottom of the tank. Well several of those fish are in that tank with the Pimafix right now, and they are perfectly fine. Guess it wasn't the pimafix I am guessing that they must have had fried gills last time. The ones that crashed were aquired within the same month I dosed with pimafix, so maybe their gills were not ready to handle that. This time they are all fine.

toothless 4 Posted April 24, 2004 yeah, i do remember that! i remember wondering why the heck your fish crashed like that. four days later i used it to cure a spot of true mouth fungus on lurch. i tell ya, they really are on to something with the mela/pima combo. personally, im sold on it. even though it smells like noxema! 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JessicaandMarshall 2 Posted April 24, 2004 I don't have any melafix in there with the pimafix, just straight pimafix. I am going to grab some melafix next time I am at the petstore. I'm afraid of the pimafix, since it contains a cancer causing agent...does that mean it's going to give me cancer LOL I try not to touch it at all or breath it in when I add it to the tank I am paranoid that is for sure, to the point that it's kind of funny. So the combo of the two works really well?! That is good to know. Jessica 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Hutchtaz Posted April 24, 2004 What does it contain that causes cancer? Scary!!! 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
edjeff80 0 Posted April 24, 2004 Wow!! That's a lot of bubbles......my tanks tend to do that when I use Melafix, but I don't think I've ever had that many bubbles!! 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Erika 0 Posted April 24, 2004 A lot of the stuff that's fish related causes cancer. Almost all of my test kits say something about causing cancer on them!! Toothless---- Noxzema smells GOOD!!! 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JessicaandMarshall 2 Posted April 24, 2004 Hutchtaz, I'll go check. Ok it says Warning, this product contains a chemical known to the state of California to cause cancer or birth defects, or other reproductive harm. That is all that it says. None of my test kits have those kid of warnings So anyone pregnant, stay away from Pimafix! Jessica 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kissez_61 0 Posted April 24, 2004 lol i find it smells like pepermint kinds smell. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JessicaandMarshall 2 Posted April 24, 2004 I try not to smell it, I don't want to inhale the cancer chemical I wonder why they put that warning on the label, and how much you would have to handle for it to have effect? Jessica 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ranchugirl 17 Posted April 24, 2004 (edited) Jess, its good that I know about that slightly bubbly "side effect", when it comes to Pimafix. I am planning on writing about it in one of the next additions to the medications part of the treatment section. Do you mind if I put a picture of that "side effect" into the discription as fair warning beforehand? Something like "Make sure you lower the water level around 2 inches to leave space for the very extreme bubble bath effect!"

toothless 4 Posted April 24, 2004 you wouldnt believe the amount of products that california claims to be carcinogenic. lots and lots of things. heck, breathing air in the city is also cancer causing. i wouldnt worry too much about mela/pima causing any birth defects or cancer. you probably have to drink it to reach that effect. ive even started a syphon and wound up getting a mouthful of pima/mela. so far, no mouth cancer. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JessicaandMarshall 2 Posted April 24, 2004 Sure Andrea you can use that. Toothless too funny, and very true I am sure. Jessica 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
