red bugs

[chad508]

didn't some one on here get red bugs in there tank. if so what did you do to get rid of them?

I had them. I treated with interceptor. It is really expensive and you have to get it from a vet. It will kill all your hermits, shrimps, crabs and other crustaceans, so remove as many as you can.

If you can paint over them with a hot pink fingernail polish, that will kill them in a couple days also. Stops them fom getting air.

Chad, the bottle I have is 10mg of Ivermectin per ml. I have a 50ml bottle. So technically, I have 500mgs.(duh) See, they do have good schools in GA!!!

Anyway, let me know if you need some. I would be more than happy to share with you.

Yeah, I had them. I used Interceptor as well.

I really need to buy some more to start dipping my corals before introducing them to my tank. If you buy some, let me know so we can order together.

I've heard you can get Interceptor from those mobile pet-med trucks too.

 

[Strack]

Interceptor is tablets. How you going to use that?

Hmmmm. This makes me want to start dipping all my corals that I buy now...

 

[dvmsn]

I dipped for a while. The problem is that a little bit sticks on the coral and kills crusteceans every time you introduce a new coral.

 

[chad508]

if you have no acros will all the red bugs die off if they only eat acros?

 

[Strack]
