Re: Di n Butyl Stannate?

Hey, hows this for 'weird but true...'

I found out about the Levamisole from 'the manual of
fish health,' which included gruesome but accurate
pictures of the infestation. So, on top of it being
the one fish drug that actually works, tmofh is the
one *fish book* that actually dispenses correct
advice! And it's published by TFH! That makes it a
3-for-3 in rarity - a fish-related drug that works,
good advice and a worthwhile book to have that's TFH
published :-)

Enough! We can talk about all this tonight. I may be
bringing some killi eggs if I can find them :-(
