i didnt had luck one othe acros just rtnd will see about the purple delicate, bottle brush acro seems they not doing so good , bad <<<MOD EDIT: PROFANITY>>> bad
 
I am still curious to see a complete list of all members and vendors the OP has bought from so that everyone can be properly informed and narrow down where the bugs came from, if they were in fact red bugs. I know he has purchased from me, and I'm certain my tank is red bug free, I triple checked after he originally posted about it. It's quite possible the person/vendor he got them from doesn't even know they have a problem.

I just had a thread on this topic last week called "interceptor". I know my lfs (aquatica) sells a single pill for $20 bucks. Good luck with everything.

They can get shut down for this... selling a perscription drug without a perscription or as not someone authorized to dispense is a big no no.

Interceptor is completely safe to does your tank with. It is only fatal to inverts with exoskeletons at a high enough dose.

as a dip only otherwise it will wipe out your pods, crabs but after the treat no signs of red ot flats in tank not like with interceptor many people after use interceptor had problem with AEFW . that why i will dipp all acros today with bayer

Bayer ONLY AS A DIP. If you does your whole tank with it you will kill everything in it.


I hope no one follows any advise that the OP has stated in this tread. It is full of mis information regarding red bugs and their treatment.


OP didn't you post in a FS that you don't have red bugs? please clarify in this thread if you did indeed have red bugs and need assistnace, otherwise I'm closing this tread.... too much bad informaiton to keep it active.
