Hi Marcos,

True on Copper, but Mal Green is pretty much the necessary evil: it is more efficient to use it in most cases, especially severe. Doubling or Tripling the amount of copper as your two drugs do is what is wrong.

Yes, Azoo, but also others. The name escapes me but there is another company, something like Hung Dong, which makes a series of meds against various things and is quite popular in Asia. No ingredient listed..so no way I'll use them.

Defensive mentality of small island people...they are so afraid that someone will steal their magic formulas.... :x

Yes, indeed. Image
Anyway, I realized that Malachite green (copper acetate) is less harmful to loaches than copper sulfate if same amounts. Anyway, I still use half or a trhird dose on Malachite whenever needed.
