treated for flatworms

salttess · 04/08/2008, 10:53 AM

Well, I treated for the flatworms and all is well. I had to do a double dose right off. I had these once before and did a treatment but not all were killed. I bought a pseudochromis because some said it would eat them. Well, they came back in numbers after about 7mths. So this time I double dosed right off and WALLAH all are gone. I havent seen even one in the past 2 days!! I used flatworm exit, as recommended by people here.

nope...I did as the instructions said and had plenty of carbon to run and enough water to do a water change after treatment. The fish did great, didnt even flinch. tina
