eliminating Hydra, Heximita, Velvet, Ick and Glugea

Hi Gary,

     I have used Flubendazole 5% at the rate of 1/2 to 1 tsp per 30 gallons 
to kill hydra many times over the last 4 years and have never had a fish 
loss. I am perplexed at your experience. I have never used it on small fry. 
The fish have always been sub adults to mature adults. I also always stir it 
up in a glass of water first and then pour it in. The water has also always 
been moderately hard and alkaline. The tanks were filtered too with a jumbo 
box filter.
    I cannot explain your experience. I have used it on adult N. symoensi 
without any problems. I never used it on hoignei so I cannot say.
    Please tell me that the hoignei were not the pair I sent you! I hope you 
have lots of eggs. I was getting good hatches and good sex ratios from moist 
peat stored at 80F for 6 and 1/2 months.

Bobby
