mangrove snapper

[milkman407]

I have 6 mangrove snapper left out of the 13 I ordered, i've had this number for 3 weeks and no one killed eachother, so I think i'm good. But they still have flukes on their tales, or body lice. The flukes are a good size though, maybe .2"

I've treated it with that jungle parasite stuff that you all mentioned but it didnt work, whats the next best thing?

i'm doing w/c's once a week, add some salt, and the temps at about 78* due to the cold outside.

Here is a very effective (if "old school") treatment for both skin and gill flukes as well as the smaller species of fish lice (argulus sp.)
It is a bit labor intensive.
In a large clean bucket ot small bare tank dissolve 10mg. of potassium permanganate crystals in each liter of dechlorinated water at same temp. as tank. Place the fish in this solution as a bath for between 10 and 30 minutes. Return the fish to the main tank. If required repeat twicw more at 3-4 day intervals.
