freshwater dip zoos?

[renogaw]

i *think* a rock i got tonight has flatworms. either that, or they are isopods. either way, are zoos ok to FW dip?

 

[teresaq]

yes, I do it for nudis.

 

[renogaw]

i've never done it before... how long of a dip?

 

[renogaw]

well, i've dipped a couple times, and i've gotten some ... things... out of this rock. some were amphipods/copepods. what i'm concerned about are the little white things.
they are about 1/8" long, maybe 1/16 wide. white body, black down the middle, broken up into two segments. they swam, didn't crawl. and did not immediately die in fresh water. i'm assuming flatworms, since i cannot find any isopods that resemble this.

when i did it, I just put in ro water, and shook really well. Look over the polyps for any type of egg sack. white curly is nudi.

how long should one freshwater dip?

to 1 gallon of ro, add a couple drops of Flatworm Exit, and 40 drops of lugols....and let it soak for 5-10 min.
