Just for future reference, would malachite green be effective against brooks? How about metroplex? thanks

Metroplex doesn't seem to work very well against Brooklynella.

IDK for sure, but very often, malachite green is combined with formalin, and those mixtures work great, but I can't see if malachite green alone works as well. Both compounds are toxic to humans, and regulations are making them more difficult to source now days.
