Abstract
A formula and method for treating water used to hold captive fish in tanks includes isoeugenol, sodium chloride, potassium chloride and soluble dextrose. Also included are an ammonia remover, a chlorine remover, a bacterial and fungal spore remover, an anti-columnaris and saprolegnia agent, a disinfectant, a slime-coating protecting agent, a chelating agent and a surface foam remover.
Claims22
A method of sedating fish during holding and transportation in a tank of water to decrease the fish's reaction of fighting captivity, comprising the step of using about 43 ppm±10% of isoeugenol by weight as the calming agent in the water.
A method of preserving the life of captive fish in a water tank comprising the step of combining isoeugenol, electrolyte sodium chloride and potassium chloride along with soluble dextrose in the water.
A formula for an additive to be added to a water tank to preserve the life of captive fish contained therein, said formula comprising:
- about 43 ppm±10% by weight of isoeugenol;
- about 3647 ppm±10% by weight of sodium chloride;
- about 1458 ppm±10% by weight potassium chloride;
- about 310 ppm±10% by weight of soluble dextrose;
- about 456 ppm±10% by weight of an ammonia remover;
- about 176 ppm±10% by weight of a chlorine remover;
- about 2 ppm±10% by weight of a bacterial and fungal spore remover;
- about 0.75 ppm±10% by weight of an anti-columnaris and saprolegnia agent;
- about 4.1 ppm±10% by weight of an anti viral agent;
- about 10.25 ppm±10% by weight of a disinfectant;
- about 2.1 ppm±10% by weight of a chelating agent;
- about 8.5 ppm±10% by weight of a chelating agent;
- and
- about 73 ppm±10% by weight of a surface foam remover.
