Seeing as Mandarins are scaleless (not sure if it matters) will Flat worm exit be harmful to him? I'm beginning to see them again and want to treat a.s.a.p.

FWIW - I dosed FWE a couple years ago and my Mandarin was and is fine. Just follow the directions.

I just killed EVERY SINGLE FISH in my tank with FWE this week.... BE SUPER CAREFUL. In retrospect, I would have removed the fish prior to treatment.
I did everything according to the book with the treatment. I have used FWE in the past several times without much issue....the only thing I can think is there were a lot more worms than before this time around, even despite my siphoning what I could out prior to treatment.
Frankly I am having one of those "why am I doing this hobby moments" today...as I look at a line up of dead fish bodies sitting next to my tank. Not to mention a bunch of really ticked off corals.
Awwww Jim I'm soooooo sorry I totally understand your feelings right now Wish I could do something..... This news breaks my heart and puts fear in there too.....
The last time I used it, I double dosed with great results. Actually I wasn't even aware of how many worms I actually had in there until I treated and they began floating throughout the tank. Scared the crap outta me!!! I started netting within minutes and was doing a water change within 20 minutes. I'm going to try the same thing this time. I hate using chemicals of any kind..even 2 part but my tank is just to small for any of the natural predators available

Yeah I would have had the "go ahead, doesn't seem to harm anything besides flatworm answer" because I have used it with no issues before.
Wow sorry to read that. The fw do create a toxin they release when they die. You must have allot of worms !! This is tthe first time of reading of a complete die off from this product. Guess if I use this again it will be fishing time befor treatment! Thanks for the heads up Jim
Looks like both my sexy shrimp croaked as well. Other inverts seem to be hanging in there.
