AAP Recommends our Aquarium Medications Part 3 article.
www.americanaquariumproducts.com/AquariumMedication3.html
Here is an important excerpt based on misinformation that an anecdotal poorly written outside article provided:
"In fact, the use of Trichlorfon (Dyacide) by persons not using at the optimum pH or GH OR NOT being aware of just how effective this product is for snails or Detritus worms has resulted in such massive die offs that entire tanks of fish have been killed, then these same anecdotal persons post on the internet that "Trichlorfon killed my fish" when in fact it was their improper use that killed their fish.
Used correctly, which includes not using for silver fish, as well as proper bio filtration and water changes when die-offs of anchor worms, detritus worms, flukes, etc.; this is easily the most effective external parasite product on the market by a wide margin when used in the hands of someone who knows what they are doing and reads science based information (not some person with a YouTube channel because they think they are suddenly an expert after they killed off their fish).
Side note; for marine fish, a Chloroquine Phosphate/ Pyrimethamine combination found in Marex is the better choice. "
