I have a product called DesaFin by tetra.

Same stuff, just their brand name. I personally don't think that it
acts quickly enough or evens works. I much prefer Aquatronic's Dyacide,
which is a trichlorfon and works great and fast. Also will kill anchor
worms. I use this prophylactically every spring, like many state Fish
and Game dept around the U.S...

Can this be used with salt already
in
the pond?? The label say's cannot be used with any other pond treatments. Do
they mean medication? Or do they mean, micorbe-lift, etc??

Thanks
