I did notice a slight tinge of yellow to the water when I mixed the Levimasole liquid to the jug of tank water but not really when that was added to the tank. I dosed 2 tanks containing discus and didnt notice any difference at all.

The Levimasole that I used was 7.5% and I used it at a rate of .3ml to 1 imperial gallon.

If you are worried about the fish either do a water change or put the lights on, if it is as it seems and light sensitive then it will didipate the levimasole a bit.

Hmm, sorry for OFT. What did you use it for and what dosing?
(I **may** have to use it within a few days and any extra info would be helpful...)

I didn't say I used it 8) I just know a bit about it. They use it to stain bone biopsy slides, for direct treatment on surface injured fish, in fisheries for mass sanitation, and sometimes in bags when shipping fish...

just google acriflavine+uses and you'll find what you need :wink:

I have used acriflavine in the past, I tend to use protozin and myxazin the most now but when I used the acriflavine I would use it as a broad spectrum medication mainly for fungus etc.
