Are your fish acting strangely due to water quality or other environmental factors?

I'm getting a bit muddled now, is the liquid stuff not adding something similar to the gas type, or am I completely off the mark?

I'm not entirely convinced that the stuff referred to as liquid Co2 actually contains Co2 - it might just be liquid carbon, I'd have to look into that further to confirm.

I'm starting to think my badis is always a little tipsy. 3:30 am conversations about life, making breakfast - it all makes sense now.
But seriously, I'm curious, is my little guy always under the influence? He's adorable and always curious, but sometimes his behavior is just suspicious.
And wouldn't CO2 intoxication be more like a high, rather than being drunk?

I've looked into it and it seems like liquid Co2 is actually a misnomer, it's not really Co2 at all. Apparently, it's just a liquid carbon supplement that's meant to help with plant growth. So, it's not the same as the gas Co2 that can cause issues for fish. I think you're in the clear with your liquid Co2, but I'd still be careful and follow the instructions for use.

I dug up some info on the liquid Co2 you're using in your tanks. Turns out, actual liquid Co2 only exists under high pressure, which isn't what you're dealing with. The stuff you're putting in your tank is more accurately called liquid carbon, not Co2.
