Subject: Killing Daphnia with "Amquel."
There has been a thread on this subject, lately on the killietalk list, that
deserves a mention here.
Mach Fukada pointed out that "Amquel" seemed to kill his Daphnia. Since I
had suffered some mysterious crashes, I tested it. Sure enough a glass of
Daphnia, Ostracods and mosquito larvae left alone survived nicely, but one
with a strong solution of "Amquel" (125:1 water to "Amquel") killed an
identical glass overnight. The Ostracods survived, but everything else was
dead the next day. >>
Do you think old aquarium water orginally treated with Amquel is safe to add
to a daphnia aquarium?
