Fluke Tabs and Furan 2

[keith_cny]

Has anyone used Fluke Tabs and Furan 2 during the same treatment? The Furan 2 container implies it is possibly ok to do so but wondering if anyone has done it and had problems. I am treating for Flukes right now but wondering if I should add some furan 2 in case what I am seeing is not just flukes.

Thanks,

Keith

Fluke tabs are pretty strong. They make my discus turn pale. I've never mixed anything with them.

OK...Thanks Carol! I appreciate the info.

Fluke Tabs are actually a pesticide and can be very hard on the discus central nervous system. Be very careful not to over dose.

During treatment (and for a few days after) the discus will become lethargic, lose color in the body and eyes and can dart around without provication. I would keep the lights off during treatment. It will also lose it's slime coat. Some have told me they have used Tabs on fry as young as 2 weeks old without harm to the fry (although I can't remember if they used it at 1/2 dose or not).

Just my opinion, but I would not use any other med in conjunction with Fluke Tabs, other than salt...

Thanks Jeep,

Was curious about the salt too so thanks. Was just getting ready to add some when I read your post.
