No Robyn it doesnt stain the silicone
Thanks, Wayne (or is it Bec???).
Do you know anything about my Prime / aged water question :?: If the dechlorinators stop the PP, then I guess you can't use water that has been aged, but has had Prime added to it :?: You must use RO :?:
Anyway, I was about to try this on my heckel. I think the stress of my C02 issue a little while back has brought something on - if not, for whatever reason, he has stopped eating.
Decided to have a last look around for advice on PP before I went ahead & stumbled on a article that has me a little unsure. Still drawn towards the treatment, especially since DIY had such great results with his fry.
Anyway, here's the article. I found it on Discus Page Holland. Should I worry about what's said :?: Have any of you had discus that were effected in this way :?: http://article.discusnews.com/cat-02/pp.shtml
How many times should you repeat this treatment of 4 hrs / overnight? can they be done back to back?
best done a week apart, it only kills live flukes not eggs so you need to give time for the eggs to hatch.
thanks, i will be trying this shortly as one of my fish is still eating; but i never see poo, fins are clamped, and he likes to stay in a corner.
Just a quick reply never use formalin base products with condy crystals.As it makes a gas bomb which can make you very sick even can be fatal.
You are correct, best to use RO or demineralised water from the supermarket to make your stock solution.Quote:

Thanks Oz now i just need to get my hands on some!
Quote: Andrew Soh recomends repeating five times every 4 days to break the cycle. I have done less to keep fluke numbers under control or clean breeders.
Hey
Does he mean treat 5 times in 4 days OR Treat 5 times altogether with a 4 day break in between?
Also, if i were to medicate parents but i don't want to contaminate the breeding tank. Would medicating them in a small tank be ok?

do 5 treatments 4 days apart
