i have some discus and it looks like they have gill flukes. i have treated for gill flukes before using some gill fluke tape worm tablet things i got from the pet store. they cost me a bit but they got the job done. i have a 6ft by 2ft by 700 high tank and in there i have 7 discus, 2 clown loaches and 2 long fin cat fish. i really cant afford to spend hundreds on these medication to treat my whole tank, so i was thinking of using potassium Permanganate PP. what should I do in order to treat the whole tank? i just need help in order to fix this becuase I've never used PP before and i don't want to kill my fish

my tank consists ok
7 discus
2 clown loaches
2 long fin catfish
1 mangrove root
plants
t5 light
heaters
fx5 with bioballs in it

thanks everyone =]

3/4 gram PP per 100g....inactive when it turns from purple to brown....
I just skimmed this at first...Tuff for good results with plants, etc..bio load effects it's performance..It'll kill your bio and filter goodies..
