To Formalin dip or to not??

[lg2725]

Hey all,
I've had 2 clownfish doing TTM for the last week or so. I also gave them PP on transfer 3. Should I still give them a Formalin bath for 45 mins? Both are looking good and also eating well. Thanks for the suggestions. Just trying to get this right? I posted something similar (a little more long-winded) but didn't get any feedback. Thank you.

recently, I have a Kole Tang that I put through a typical PP/TTM/Metro QT regimine and he recently started scratching again. I think he has flukes that survived the PP.

I even went so far as to PP the display tank at a high dose and it didn't seem to help either. The Tang and a few other residents are still scratching.

From now on I'll be skipping the PP and doing a formalin bath. I will likely keep the food laced with metronidazole. So my new regimine will look like: TTM, Formalin bath, and feeding metronidazole the whole time.

Just food for thought.

I've given every fish in my tank a 50 minute formalin bath.

OK thanks for the input. I'll most likely do the same> Formalin bath after TTM is over.
