Aquarium Advice Regular
most of my fish are still alive and healthy, as far as i'm learning their mannerisms...after a month of using tapwater which i determined with my api test kit yesterday was at approximately .5ppm. could have been a lot worse. i was diluting that with soft water from another source, a very good source, if how much it cost the owner is any indication. about 1/2 and 1/2 mixture from my tap & the soft water.
anyway, the 4 mollies all seem to be healthy enough to be fighting of any diseases which may be present despite the fact that their skin appears to be very thin. note: very thin under regular 40 watt lightbulb. almost completely unnoticable under my flourescent tank light. ?. i think the 2 orange platys have thinned skin too, but its a bit harder to tell. these fish did great--never complained the whole time. tough cookies.
anyway II, my question is this: in addition to keeping water conditions where they should be, are there any proven, or accepted, recommended and/or good methods for encouraging the regrowth of scales which had eroded?
i'm very much hoping their inerternal mechanisms are functioning well, but only time will tell. as for now, i want to try and make sure those outer mechanisms functioning as best as can be expected after what they've been through.
suggestions & comments are very much appreciated.
