anyone have trouble getting any results when using flatworm exit? i've done 2 treatments this week.... and I never seen any visible death (water didn't change color, the worms didn't clump up etc)

bad batch of exit?

Been battling them in the QT tank, been rather frustrated with FWE and treating them... Gone through 3 bottles, 2 different sources...

I've always had die-off when treating, look for the spider webs of dead fw's.

However, I've had to radically modify their instructions to get any real effectiveness. Last dose that seemed to work, involved a w/c before, 3x dose, then I didn't start the carbon / removal for a full 24 hours.

Expecting to have to re-dose again this week, because FWE's have always re-appeared after the first die-off (not effective against eggs/?).

I've started to wonder if there isn't a resistant strain in existance around calgary - as I never had this much trouble the first couple times I ran into them.
