Its not too bad to use although it can be pretty noxious stuff. FW treatment and hypo might be your best bet at this point but it sounds like a few of the fish don't have a lot of time to spare.

I dunno, I'd want to at least do something. Just not sure what. You can always start with the FW and hypo and if that doesn't work move to a more aggressive treatment.

+1 Hypo is helpful for many parasitic infestations. Worth a shot anyhow. Sorry to hear of your troubles Laurie. Good Luck and keep us posted.
