General Care Discussion :: Question about antifungal and anti chlorine

[novroz]

A friend asked me this question on my turtle's blog and I have don't know the answer.

I’ve bought antifungal and antichlorine liquid for fishes for my turtle because my grandma always mix tap water with rain water so the chlorine might hurt my turtles, and chame also have somekind of skin disease.. My question is can you give me the dosage of this thing? Or is this things safe for turtle? Or can you ask someone from redearslider dot com ? I want to ask directly but I can’t make an acc from neither blackberry nor ipad so pleasee can you ask them? My mom won’t allow me to use my laptop yet because I’m still sick she said… And answer from google is confusing… So pleaseee .. Thanks!

can someone help her please
Thank you.

Hello! Not so sure on the anti fungal but I've read something about sodium thiosulfate being HARMFUL to aquatic animals. the said chemical is usually present in water conditioners. Here are some links:

viewtopic.php?f=5&t=30477&p=291934&hilit=Sodium+thiosulfate#p291934

again I'm not sure on this. Hope this helps. try searching around the forum too with the keywords "sodium thiosulfate".

They need to be more specific with what's going on. You need to know the problem before you can treat it... for instance, not all parasites respond to the same medication.

Anyway, I know some people use Acriflavine or Maroxy for skin conditions... I would start researching there.
