tetra apparently missing lips *** update ***

Are companies allowed to add things to their medication that are not listed on the package? It does not say anything on the package about baking soda. (Under "Ingredients" it only lists the nalidixic acid.) I suppose packaging and labeling laws for fish medication are not as stringent as those for humans. Ooh, just had a thought... could it have been the capsule? They are made of some clear plasticy material that dissolves after half an hour or so, releasing the powder. Maybe that was made of something basic...

Good question I would think it would list it as an ingredient. It could have been the capsule....but it also just could have simply been the way the nalidixic acid affected the water.

Very glad to hear your tetra is better!
