    i bought formalin 3... i believe it's the wrong kind... i'm reading a % of 50 is better?

    last night, i dipped the 2 clowns in formalin 3 for about 5 minutes... they really didn't like it and the larger one (size of small thumb) was pretending it was dead or something... just floating around on the bottom of my QT... so i took them out couldn't see them suffer anymore... was this enough time for the dip?

    Thats what I used. I did one dip for 5 minutes and then dosed the QT as well for 1 week, along with daily water changes.
