shhh_iamthenight6933 Try Minn Finn.

Fish-Story Thank you. Have you tried it with gulpers?

shhh_iamthenight6933 I'm not sure if you received my initial reply to your ?. But, no. Not on gulpers. Stead, on my 22 y/o Raphael Catfish & worked perfectly. 2 part treatment. Includes 1 part treatment and 1 hour later, or if fish have adverse effects on treatment, 2nd part detoxifier which makes water safe again immediately by reversing treatment entirely. Zero water changes afterward. Filters stay on during 1st & often times only needed dosage. & the positive bacteria die-off is minimal, far majority unaffected. Can add some afterward to build +'s up to full capacity once again. Aside from killing gill flukes, hydra, ich... This stuff also nukes planeria & over populations of detritus wigglers/white & brown worm too. Just watch out for your invertebrates, specifically the snails. Best to remove all together. Shrimp are said to be fine to treat, as are your freshwater live plants. (Go to The Pond Guys website to 💲). All the treatment pkgs are the same meds, just in different concentration doses. I'd pick the $65 red bottle pond/freshwater aquarium pkg deal. Will last you a long, long time. Stuffs a gamechanger. I've been keeping 🐟 for 35+ years. Trust. Gamechanger.

Fish-Story Sorry, first time I see your reply. Thank you much. Ve4ry kind of you to write all this. Yes, I read up on it just recently as a peer also mentioned it. I loved what I read. Then I thought wouldn't simple hydrogen peroxide do the same? But it doesn't seem so. Minn Finn kills more and better, so the addition of the acetic peroxide must be the key in the formulation. The manufacturer touts it strongly. So you agree with all their claims based on your personal experience??? You are heavily tempting me to try it too, despite it being pricey (esp. for the amount of our fish and water volumes).
 
I’ve never heard of it before. I watch the majority of your videos but I couldn’t find the context as to why he recommended Minn Finn, was it a part of a quarantine process for your new fish or to treat something specific?
