    I use Seachem Cupramine. All my plants have survived the treatment time of 2-3 weeks.

    The reason I treat over an extended time is so that possible snail eggs will hatch and die.

    As far as I know Potassium Permanganate and Bleach would kill snail eggs also.

    I believe that Bleach is the harshest for plants and safest for discus method for dealing with pathogens that might be harmful to discus and I use that method solely .
