Hi Guys,
Well ive got an outbreak of our little friends again; flatworm.
I had them about 6 months ago and used a freshwater agent called Myxazin to kill them. It killed them, but the fallout of the toxin was so great (there were millions of them) that my yelow tang died.
Before anyone mention - I cannot get hold of Flatworm Exit in this country (Merry Ol England) because it is banned under the illegal drug/substance act, as it includes a form of some drug or other, so i cant import it either as it will just get detroyed by HM Customs!
With this in mind, I phoned a fish store in London. Now as far as I can see the flatworms are only on 2 rocks, so i took them out (on his advice) and freshwater dipped them for 30 seconds. Apparently this is a good way of keeping them under control.
Now the point of this post is two fold:
1) any other ideas to get rid of them?
2) anyone any info on leopard wrasses or mandarins, as apparently they like to chomp on these fellows.
Thanks for your help,
Tim.
