Formalin

Does anyone have any? The quickest I can get it online is Monday and I have a very sick clown.









Help...

Get some quick cure. That is a mix of malacite green and formalin. Petco and petsmart carry it. Dose 3 drops / gallon. Keep for 48 hours and then do 25% water change.

You can also do a fresh water dip for some temporary relief.

Good luck.

Thanks Sunny, ever heard of safety stop? Aquatic obsession has it and it's a quick dip for new fish. Comes in 2 parts Formalin (Part A) and Methylene Blue (Part B). Problem is I have copper in my qt right now so I guess I have to get that out first.

Also I never understood a freshwater dip. How do you get the ph to match? Soda ash?

I would go with the quik cure as sunny suggested. The saftey stop concentration is made for one gallon of water. Best of luck!

I have used quick cure and copper in conjunction. I have learned that clowns and wrasses do not like copper.
I would get quick cure and dose. It is cheap and available at petco/petsmart.

Will at AO might have it too. If not, I have some here if you need it.

P.S ==> I have no idea about safety stop.

Can only talk about what I have used. Note == Instructions say a drop a gallon but I always did 3 drops per gallon as it is saltwater.

If you have a Walmar store close try to get the quick cure there, they also sell it.

Garlic paste also works for me.......put a little bit in the food an in the water.

Good luck.
