Re: eliminating Hydra, Heximita, Velvet, Ick and Glugea

I can't explain why your fish died Gary, but I used it on a 5 gal. tank with
some A. rectogoense and  it had no noticable ill effect on the fish but
eliminated the hydra in one day. I never even made a water change until a few
weeks later. Fish still spawned without any interuptions. Maybe someone a little
more knowledgeable about this medication can be of some help.
