I used formaldehyde when I had an airborne disease on my Discus. The last poster is correct,if there is white on the bottom do not use,it is quite deadly. When using as a dip
it worked quite well although the smell when dipping the fish was disgusting. Keep a close eye on the fish as well and use a net for the dip. Good luck and I hope it works out for you.

I believe I bought mine from Safeway Pharmacy.

I managed to get the last bottle of formalin - 3 at big als. It hasnt seemed to help out the poor little guy yet.

Shoppers, safeway, pharmasave, coop, etc all dont carry any. Id prefer to get the 37% stuff not the 3% that Kordon makes.

Well I'll look around more today.

Thanks guys,

Try a Co Op hardware store as well. I believe that farmers use it on Grain,I got a bottle there as well. Although it was a few years ago.
