Silly Koinkey Thinks Potash is Food
When we closed the pond down for the winter we found a Koinkey (goldfish +
koi = koi donkey fish, koinkey) in the VF. We rescued him and tossed him in the 55 gallon tank with the other fish. He has been getting along fine, tearing up the plants, clogging my filters, etc. It's been some work, but everyone is happy. I added some new plants this month, and tossed some potash in to help them out. The dern Koinkey grabbed a pellet, chewed on it a bit, and swallowed it. I expected to find him dead the next day, but he's just as happy now. So I was thinking maybe tossing potash in to the filters, but will the carbon filter it out? -- BV Webporgmaster of iheartmypond.com Check out the IHMP forums, ihmp.net/phpbb I'll be leaning on the bus stop post. |

I believe Muriate of Potash is just Potassium Chloride. So you're feeding Koinkey Mrs. Dash or similar. No wonder he likes it! -- BV Webporgmaster of iheartmypond.com Check out the IHMP forums, ihmp.net/phpbb I'll be leaning on the bus stop post. |

"ONION, SPICES,(BLACK PEPPER, BASIL, OREGANO, CELERY SEED, BAY, SAVORY, THYME, CAYEENE PEPPER, CORIANDER, CUMIN, MUSTARD, ROSEMARY) GARLIC, LEMON JUICE POWDER, CARROT, CITRIC ACID, LEMON PEEL, NATURAL LEMON FLAVOR, OIL OF LEMON, TUMERIC COLOR, CHILI POWDER." Of course, that's the lemon pepper version, but that's all I have. Very good ON fish, I never thought about feeding it to them beforehand. -- Crashj |

It contains: Onion, spices (black pepper, parsley, celery seed, basil, bay, marjoram, oregano, savory, thyme, cayenne pepper, coriander, cumin, mustard, rosemary), garlic, carrot, orange peel, tomato, lemon juice powder, citric acid, oil of lemon. Amount Per Serving: 1/4 tsp. (0.7g) Potassium: 10mg see http://mrsdash.com/ I would not say that Mrs. Dash was potassium chloride or even close to being potassium chloride. It may be 2% KCl at most. -- Pardon my spam deterrent; send email to Cheers, Steve Henning in Reading, PA USA http://home.earthlink.net/~rhodyman |
