aquariumlover10 Posted December 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 I looked and the first review said it killed all the planaria in there shrimp tank nd the shrimp and babies did fine, so how do I dose? I don't have a hob just a DIY sponge filter. I will try to order in awhile, my parents have prime or something so get free shipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted December 31, 2014 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 This is the best stuff I have found for aquatics. Seems to be the best active in water. High5's 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyeGuy411 Posted December 31, 2014 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 That is exactly what I used in my tanks. Its kind of hard to dose without a digital scale. But what I did and heard other do as well was take a pinch and add it to a cup of water in a seperate container. Then shake it up then add it to the tank. I dosed a couple tanks very heavy with no ill effects. You will see white dust all over your tank for days but it will go away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aquariumlover10 Posted December 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 Aaaand I have no clue what I'm doing, my mom said I have to buy my own credit card and order it >_< So my only choice is to throw a least killifish in there to eat them, would that work?

RyeGuy411 Posted December 31, 2014 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 Fish will help to eat any small bugs. I just added some chili rasboras to my one tank. They are slowly eradicating my unwanted pests. aquariumlover10 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aquariumlover10 Posted December 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 Ok, so will the fish earadicate the planaria over time or will I still need to treat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted December 31, 2014 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 The good thang is that it only takes ~.1g per tenner. So if you have a tenner, just divide the packet in half. Spread it on some glass and cut it in 1/2 with a business/credit card. Let your mom know what you are doing though, it looks like cocaine. LOL Divide that half in half and you have a 5g tank's worth. Divide that portion in half and you have a 2.5g worth, etc. heh RyeGuy411 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
