Interesting. Maybe they have adapted to it

Does anyone know if there is such a syringe with a 6" needle or longer?

Maybe at some type of cattle supply store or something-- but i really doubt it as that is so long that the needle wouldn't insert into tissue properly-- it would just bend-- unless you are looking for a needle 6" long and the width of a pencil-- then in that case-- just sharpen a pen tube---

You can attach airline hose or use some rigid tube found at Big Al's or LFS -- take a syringe with you and then fit it to the end-- thats probably your best option...

great idea, I didn't think of that. Now, which solution is the solution , Kalk water or hot water? Off I go to find the world's smallest rigid plastic tube.

Yea-- definitely head to big als-- they have a pretty great selection of rigid tubing-- take your syringe with you-- u can usually get a decent fit-- as all generic dosage/purpose syringes have to fit into IV tubing in the hospitals, They will fit airline tube equally well... U can usually get a snug fit onto the end.

I'd go with hot water first, then if that don't work go the kalk route-- that way ur not adding extra jazz to your tank jmo

best of luck nuking them!

Once you nuke them and they're dead, will the dead tissues spread to seed new one?

[lil_clownfish13]

i couldnt tell ya... i wouldnt think so because if you cook the poop out of them they should be deader than doornails....

The syringe is the body that holds the liquid. You can add a needle to the syringe but the hole in most cases will be too small. Even with a large gauge needle anything but the smallest particles will pass. Yes you can get needles of 6 inches. Better off to add a piece of plastic tubing to the syringe tip.
