Which foods are good for stress reduction?

Tuesday, January 26th, 2010

I’ve decided to change my diet, and cut out everything that stresses me out.

At what point during the Ich treatment cycle should "Stress Coat +" be re-added to the tank to help healing?

Sunday, January 17th, 2010

I figure since there is some body/fin damage it’s good to dose the tank again. I normally add it to water changes, but should I treat the whole tank now?
I would treat the tank with stress coat after you’ve finished with the ich treatment. Stress coat helps add extra slime coating to the fish. [...]

What treatment did you undergo for anxiety or post-traumatic stress disorder?

Thursday, January 7th, 2010

Which medications did you start on and in what doses?
Which forms of treatment were effective in the end?
I’m talking about the whole process. What you started on in what doses all the way to what you’re taking now and in what doses and how effective everything was. Maybe that makes more sense?
