works OK on most fish. its strong medicine do not overdoes. Best to couple adding this with a 1/3 tank water change and up the temp for a few days.

I don't see why not if you are buying the smaller pellets and the fish are already big mouthed. For instance, these don't work well with guppies whose mouths are too small. The fish need to be able to grab the pellets. The pellets don't muddy the water so a tank should be fine. Is there room in your tank for the fish to jump at the pellets without hitting the top of the tank? The pellets will float on the water. They are designed for fish that have colors like Koi and large goldfish. Have you considered purchasing the flakes?

I bought two traps the fight my mole problem. They did not work. The moles dug around them. Suggest you try Bonide Moletox. Most moles die under ground, but occasionally the local wild life digs one up. They do not eat it. If you really want the traps, I'll give you mine.

I've had mine for about 5 days now and they have displayed no aggression towards snails. I've only seen them wave thier little claws at fish that swim too close and just as I was typing this, one snapped at a gourami that tried to take his food!

Dan, I purchased this for my husband and he's had a guppy in it for nearly a year. The filter is strong and it can suck the guppy to it. The fish don't get sucked INTO it, they get pulled to the side of the plastic area at the top where there is suction. However, my husband said the guppy can get away without a problem and that the guppy actually seems to enjoy snuggling to the filter (as in he PURSUES it). He has used a piece of black sponge foam to reduce the suction of the filter, but the guppy still likes the sucking of the filter. Bottom line is that we have had this piece for 10 months and my husband is very satisfied with it. He only speaks positively of it, and he's pretty picky.

That's unfortunate. I have two platys and they approached the cf when I first put them in, but the cf turned around, put up their pincers like boxers ready for a fight and the fish thought better of it. They haven't approached the cf since.

I didn't have any luck with this product after 4 or 5 mixes. It is powerful stuff but it seem to lose it power in the feeder after a few hours and the squirrels return. I really can make any suggestions. I gave up feeding the birds for a while as the squirrels would eat most all the seed. May try it again later but not use Cole's.

I personally don't think guppies would be harmed in this tank. There is a flow metering switch on the mini pump. I have 3 of these tanks all with crowntail bettas and they have yet to be sucked in to the overflow. I stuck a small piece of filter sponge inside the outlet nozzle to help further restrict the flow. Just make sure to watch the evaporation rate of your water. These are open top tanks and the water goes fast. I refill a pint every three days. All in all I prefer this tank to any of my traditional aquariums. Hope this helps.

I did not have that particular problem. I did not find the product very effective at keeping "critters" away from my garden. I will not purchase it again.

Wow you got me on this since I made no comment about our cats in my review. We have 2 very athletic Sphyinx and an Egyptian Mau. The big male Sphyinx did learn to pull it down but thats 2 years ago now and a squirt bottle took care of it then. He stopped trying. I re cleaned film and glass and put it back and its all still there.

Mine didn't even work.. The pigeons just landed like there was nothing there... I ended up covering mine with boards with nails hammered thru them.. Homemade Bird spikes... I would assume some Turpentine probably works

I haven't had any problems with them trying to escape. As long as the water parameters are healthy, they should be very happy to stick around. :)

Guppies I would say yes, but I wouldn't take a chance with dwarf shrimp. They're fine around my Amano shrimp though, they don't bother them at all. Probably because they're around the same size. Btw, in my aquarium with the CPO's I also have zebra danios which are about the same size as guppies and I haven't had any issues. Also have Pygmy corys, blue Rams, platys, gouramies and discus.

I wish I could help but I'm not sure about PH fluctuations with this product. Since I have Cichlids that love a high PH I no longer monitor it since my water is high in PH already and they are so hearty.

The mini pellets are very small. They sink quickly and would probably take some work for smaller fish to consume. If they like to eat off the gravel it may work out ok.

I had the same problem with a few of them. At first I figured that the few were just stupid or clumsy. Then I surmised that possibly I wasn't feeding enough or often enough. Whatever..... Check them often and make sure to draw off the liquid in the bottom or the little buggers might drown!

I'm real too. I bought mine 6 months ago. It's a little small but a great starter project for kids, just make sure they don't over feed the fish. I have a beta, a cory cat and a snail in mine. I'm having trouble with the plants, but that is because I used bad seeds and have a bad cat. (The cat ate the seeds that came with it.)
