Wew I feel sort of relieved. I couldn’t figure out why my acro just weren’t doing the best. Did it wipe all of your pods? I have a mandarin I’m worried about if I kill all my pods.
Nope, I have a mandarin too, and he's still around.
Thank you very much. If anyone else wouldn’t mind chiming in that these look like white bugs I’d appreciate it. I’ve read any but on live acro skin is bad ? Thanks everyone
Not even Bayer dips will kill them? Perhaps a reason why so many people are getting red/white bugs stem from the lack of Bayer dips? It seems like very few people use Bayer these days, so maybe it’s a correlation?
Bayer is the only dip that might kill them if there’s no eggs left behind. I’ve heard they can hide inside the polyps and avoid the Bayer but don’t know if that’s true.
Thanks I’ve been told one of the big pills 51-100 lbs dogs for 100 gallons ? 3x doses once a week for 3 weeks ? Wew im excited I may have found my problem.
I do 1 pill for 50g and it for sure wipes them out. I do half the pill and then the other half a couple hours later.
Thanks so much. Should I worry about my mandarin starving ? I have so many pods in a 100 gallon tank and 40 gallon sump with giant refugium. Do you think it will kill so many pods my mandarin will starve ?
Clams can withstand the treatment too. The only concerns are srimp and crabs, you'll want to get those out temporarily.
Yep Bayer won't do it. There's a common myth out there that Bayer will kill Red, White, Gray and black bugs, but it doesn't. The only known chemical to work is Milbemycin Oxime which is the active ingredient in Interreceptor. Pro tip: there is a generic version that does the job and is less expensive... https://www.1800petmeds.com/milbeguard+++generic+to+interceptor-12109.html?dfw_tracker=126493-12109&nbt=nb:adwords:g:18384435549:155748611922:675729607346&nb_adtype=pla_with_promotion&nb_kwd=&nb_ti=pla-316991333231&nb_mi=3228932&nb_pc=online&nb_pi=12109&nb_ppi=316991333231&nb_placement=&nb_si=
