Jeffster Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 (edited) CHas anyone had any experience with Picric acid solutions? In one of my Aquarium books by John Tullock he describes it as a dip for black spot disease ( parasite flat worm).diluted with salt water. I just ordered some from Amazon. I am using ML herbatana right now I’m not sure about it. So I will dip em when it arrives. Blue Tang has some on it.

The ReefBox Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 I’ll ask my vet about it. He dealt with it on a blue tang as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeffster Posted September 21, 2019 Author Share Posted September 21, 2019 I’ve been using this Hebrona for 5 days and no adverse problems. The Tang is looking better to me, still 5 days to go. I have some Picric just in .case ( I still need to find mixing recipe for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrabbyCrabs Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 If it's a worm that they have, I wonder if the pig dewormer I used to eliminate flat worms would work? Not sure how safe it is for fish as I removed all inverts and fish when I used it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how safe it is for fish as I removed all inverts and fish when I used it. The herbatana seems to be working out really good. Worms are gone. I don’t think that I will have to go past the 10 day treatment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrabbyCrabs Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 That's good to hear. Another product to add to the arsenal if anything should arise. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
