I wonder if they have to start decomposing before they release toxins or whether they actually do start releasing toxins immediately upon death...?

Chin_Lee:Happy to hear it worked out for you....it's good stuff eh? I haven't done a re-treatment on my tank yet, but so far no flatworms to be seen.


Myka: I believe the toxin release is almost immediate, when I dosed my tank I noticed a yellow colored liquid in the vicinity of dead/dying flatworms right away..it's almost like they disolve as soon as they die. (My personal observation and not scientific fact).

Definitely beats paying $$$$$$$$$ for Flatworm Exit. When I had 600 gallon in my system, I had to buy 2 bottles of FE to treat. When they reappeared, I couldn't afford another 2 bottles. I think they were about 25 a pop back then.
