## Questions & Answers

**Q: The description says this is safe for invertebrates, but I still want to ask about your personal experience with snails and shrimp? Thank you!**
A: This stuff is amazing! I make my own fish food and I mix it right in. If you have a snail problem get some clown loaches. It's their favorite treat.

**Q: I just put 15 Drops in my 16 gallon and it looks like a snowglobe now. Why is that and should I return it?**
A: No idea but it does take it awhile to dissolve from what I have experienced. Could have something to do with other things you may have in your aquarium already or even the total ph of your water. I would contact the manufacturer and also check the experation date and temperature of your water and the drops at the time they were put in. Best of luck!

**Q: Will this product have any negative effects with live plants?**
A: I am sorry, I do not know.  I would suggest searching the internet for this product and see if there is a site or anyone would know.

**Q: Can this be used and benefit a betta? Does it expire ? Does it go bad if left unrefrigerated for a day? Does it harm plants?**
A: Hi.  I just used this in my new Betta fish today.  I used it in the past.  I just added two drops into a 22 oz. bottle of aquarium water and poured it into the tank.  I think I read where it really helps Betta fish a lot with what it says it does.  I read somewhere where it is good for six months if not refrigerated and probably good for 9 months if refrigerated.  Sorry I don't remember where I read this but it was just a couple days ago.
