How much liquid is needed To poach fish
1253162
Liquid must not touch the fish if you want to poach or steaming, lid must be on and heat must be just enough to keep liquid slowly boiling to cook the fish meat, carefully check the poacher from time to time to avoid total evaporation or you may end with a partially row fish.

No you do not want to cover the fish with liquid......you want about a 1/4 " to 1/2" of liquid on the bottom....bring to a boil and then turn the heat to low and place cover on the poacher.....if you cob==ver the fish you will be boiling not poaching.

Poaching is submerging, otherwise it is steaming. To poach, you need just enough tof cover.

that all depends on what filter you have, for me i have a turtle and a 60gallon tank, so i use about 100grams on a fluval405 , and it lasts about two months with clear odorless water. your situation might be different , i think this should be more than enough if only for regular fish.

We have not set it up yet because it is a birthday gift for my son. However I have talked to pet store people and they say you can put 1 inch of fish per gallon....so if it is a 5 gallon tank you can put 5 inches of fish. Then you could have 2 2.5 inch fish or about 6 fish that are 3/4 an inch. I hope this helps

I would probably say to use the 1/8 oz size but it really depends on the water current where you are fishing along with the size of the gulp bait you are using. You want it heavy enough to not get swept away too quickly if the current is strong but not so heavy that it falls to the bottom too quickly when jigging and takes away from the action of the bait. The 1/8 oz would probably be a good place to start. Hope that helps & tight lines!

Put a bottle and a half in when your tank is almost empty. Then fill the tank. That would be enough.

The pellets are on the larger size or they would need to be bigger goldfish at least 3". I have mix of Koi and large goldfish and this is what I feed them both.

Sorry, I only use my cooker for hard boiled eggs so have not a clue about poaching.

Yes, the rule of thumb with fish is 1" ( as an adult) per gallon. They need to have room to grow or they will be stunted and not be as healthy. I always google how big a certain kind of fish would grow into then decide if it will be good. If you haven't gotten this yet you may want to reconsider. It goes through 2 different kinds disposable filter every week to two weeks costing about $8 each time combined unless you buy in bulk, but that still gets pricey as well.

In my opinion, a 10 g wouldn't require this sort of thing unless you'd like to create a population of copepods or to raise macroalgae to help reduce nitrates/phosphates. It doesn't provide much "flow", whatsoever. It merely drips into your display tank.

Hi Stanley. We love our tank for my 12 year old son. The general rule for fish to gallons of water is 1 inch of fish : 1 gallon of water in tank. Hope this is helpful.

It depends on the size of the fish, but my daughter has had as many as 9 fish (each about 1inch) 1 plastic plant and 2 small house decorations. Hope this helps.

For outdoor plants, mix 4 tsp or 20 ml of the Miracle-Gro Liquid All Purpose Plant Food into 2 gallons (8 L) of water (use 5 tsp for 2.5 gallons of water).

Add water to a 10 inch or bigger pan so Norpro Poacher is barely sitting in water. Add the eggs, cover the pan and let boil for few minutes. BUT the eggs sticks badly. So, I spray each poacher with non-stick and add a little oil so the eggs can come out fine.

I used this food for my outdoor pond fish - Koi, Shununkan (Sp?), Gold fish and they are very healthy. My fish range in size from 3 inches to 6+ inches. Highly recommended for pond fish.

For a 0.25 concentration use 1.3 oz. per gallon of water. Works well on crawly things :)

I would use no more than 2 tbsp per gallon of water. If needed increase to 3 for bad infestations

I'm sorry, but I'm afraid that your bowl is already very overstocked. Goldfish actually grow very large and can live up to 30 years! They also create a lot of waste, so anything 2 1/2 gallons large is just not going to cut it. If it is a fancy goldfish, it will need around 30-40 gallons just on its own, and if it's a common goldfish (has a single-finned tail), it will probably be better suited for a fish pond. That being said, I think that cherry shrimp by themselves would do alright in a 2 1/2 gallon container if you do regular 20-30% water changes. But I don't suggest anything else with the goldfish.
