I imagine you could add the ones not effected by it. Especially after a formalin dip.

Maybe ill dip the powder blue and pull off that worm and add him to the display after i watch him for a day since he looks so good and carry on from there. The other tangs are still iffy. (Hard to see the worms on the yellow ones). Dont want to get any of these in the 300 because that would be a nightmare.

Is formalin a known treatment for anchor worms?

Is there a specific brand of formalin i should get? The stores around here say they have medicine with formaldehyde in it, but not called formalin.

Looks like Formalin MS is what i want. No store around here has it in stock. Sadly the only good fish store around here closed down a few weeks back. Ill order some but at that point the Dimilin might be here.

I read from humble that formalin can be used for anchor worms but I don’t believe it’s verified.

GPS tracker my friend. Let us know how you do with the formalin. Hopefully you start seeing some kind of improvement.

Ill definitely keep you updated on the tangs. The hippo is still doing ok but could look better and the worm dropped off the powder blue(either the eggs released or the prazi killed it). Last edited by Reefer1991; 01/15/2018 at 01:32 PM. |

So the dosage for dimilin is 1/10 tsp per 50 gallons. Im not sure how im going to accurately measure this for a 35 gallon tank.

4.929 milliliters Per Teaspoon divided by 10 is .4929 ml per 50g. So if my math is correct you need to dose 0.34503ml for 35g. IF my math is correct*

So theres a new one on the hippos face that wasnt there when i dosed the dimilin. Youd think the dimilin wouldve killed it while it was trying to find a host. Instructions say wait 3-5 days then redose which ill do, but im not too confident.

Have you confirmed they are anchor worms? Where did you get the fish from, I have never encountered them in 19 years in the hobby?

They all looked great today. The hippos skin is clear and his color is back. Im thinking about adding them to the Dt tomorrow, but may hold off till next weekend. Im thinking what I saw yesterday was some detritus stuck to his slime coat because he likes to sleep wedged up on the ground and the spot looked different from the worms i saw before the dimilin. It was gone in about 5 minutes also. Ill see how they look tomorrow and make the call. Thinking about a formalin dip before they go in the main tank just to be safe.
