CatWhat Posted March 3, 2013 Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 I have seen mention of using Alder Bush Buds for filtration when raising fry or preventing eggs from fungus. But I'm not able to find much info on this method, so I am just wondering if anyone here has used this method or know much about it. Thanks. Here are a couple of pics of what I call Alder Bush Buds: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geleen Posted March 4, 2013 Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 Yup That's it, I use 1 per gallon, will change the ph and the colour of the water to yellow. While I have had no problems with fungus I do not know if they are more effective than other methods. I also keep 3-4 in a 10 gallon for the fry and they stay healthy. I heard to replace them every month or so. If you have them readily available near your house I would love to buy a bunch from you. I don't think they grow inAlberta. Also the only place I can find them is at Angelfish.com. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatWhat Posted March 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 If they are the buds you are looking for, there is always a good few of them in my area. Now that I know they are actually used for this purpose I will defiantly collect some and let them dry for future use. I don't see a problem sending some out to you either.
