White bugs on frogspawn and torch

fishresponse · 04/08/2014, 10:36 PM

I tracked this topic down from another thread 3 years as I'm having this issue. Has anyone experienced these? Seemed the last thread I saw treated these white bugs similar to red bugs but wasn't sure of any newer solutions??

I have found using a double dose of coralrx worked for me in the past.

I'll give that a shot. I have that on hand.

Bayer! Took me 2 dips 2 weeks apart to rid of the white bugs on mine. Bayer is what you want

What dosing administrations did you follow? ex. 1 pill for X amount of mins

Bigcefa · 04/09/2014, 10:10 AM

Bayer is a liquid insecticide , do a search on it . Most people use 10ml to 1 cup

Bayer makes a ton of different products. Some pharmaceutical and some for lawn care. is there a certain ingredient I should be looking for?

Bayer advanced complete insect killer. Active ingredients imidacloprid and b-cyfluthrin

Thanks! I was looking at this by coincidence today as I have some ants in the house. Should there be any concern that other active ingredients is unknown per the label on the bottle?

Not at all it's the safest dip to use with corals ime. There's tons of threads about it

Same here, I need to do another dip to rid all of them but it works and my frogspawn is looking better.

Thanks - I'm always hesitant to try these sort of treatments because I don't want to kill the animal. However, if not treated I guess it would just die anyways. Here's to some bayer
