Hey guys.
This might be the weirdest thing you’ll hear on a forum…but I just want to make this post to share my appreciation for formeldahyde.
I think it’s such a great tool to have. You buy a new fish that is prone to uronema, you set up a quick bath and then transfer the fish to it’s quarantine tank to follow up with metro.
I’m very cautious with this chemical. I first and foremost wear gloves and face masks. I ensure that bucket has extremely high aeration via airstones, and ensure the bucket has a heater.
I do the bath treatment outside because I believe oxygen is higher, and it protects my family and me from the chemicals. I always change my mask and gloves when I enter the house (washing hands before I touch my face mask.
Besides for the caution (formeldahyde is a carcinogen) I feel it provides my uronema prone fish with the best chance at life.
