Hiya
I have recently acquired a GTS girl, who feeds on 5 cm live goldfish. I have heard horror stories about over-medicated goldfish being fed to colubrids and killing them.
Does anyone with experience in this area have a fail-safe method to cleanse acquarium bought live fish in order to eliminate the risk ?
Would keeping a few fish in a tank of clean water with no chemicals and additives for a set time enable the fish to cleanse it's system of whatever crap the acquarium or fish breeders have fed them ? How long would be sufficient to keep them like this in order to clean them out ?
Would be great to hear from experienced GTS keepers or even people around the Brissie area to hear what you feed your GTS and where you purchase your feeders from. I would imagine acquarium water would have all sorts of added extras which may harm my girl.
Cheers.
