So I am now trying straight metro at 500 mg/10 gallons with the tank temp at 90 (and by morning it'll be 92), dissolved as best I could, using a hand blender in the cup of tank water, distributed after lights out so the med doesn't degrade as quickly.
Right, that's dose 1 out of the way.

Some say it's to be done every 24 hours for five days, with a large WC preceding each dose.
What's the concensus, experts, on how to knock this infestation down?
The (now two, possibly three) affected fish aren't eating.
