Subject: Re: NANFA-- do fish get goiters?
the mummichogs are getting flake, while the bluefin killie eats mostly
blackworms.
Is this goiter really? I never thought about where fish put their thyroids.
I was mainly joking with the subject line.
The mummi's will be easy - add more instant ocean salt to their water. The
mollies won't mind much either. The bluefin is in a different tank.
I will also start adding more marine foods to the mix and see what happens.
