I think it has always been hit or miss with the supply.... sometimes my LFS can get it and sometimes they can't....

I think six line wrasses eat them. Are they in the DT or just the sump? I think you can siphon them out also.

How effective it as at eliminating the flatworms is pretty hit and miss IME as well. I've done triple doses in small tank I have setup. It was strong enough to kill some Ceriths and Stomatella snails but some flatworms still managed to survive.

It's always worked for me....I dip all newcomers in it... and at a higher than recommended dose....

Habib, guys with that name always get me what I can't LOL!!


For those that do the old school method, Six-Line Wrasse and scotter blenny and Lemon/Yelloe damesel work great fro me? I have also see some use spoted not pshydelic mandrins?
