a couple treatments with PP or formalin is not all that harsh. 0.3% can be harsh if
the problem with the fish is fried gills. cant even do a salt dip on a fish with
fried gills. In all cases, following up with pristine water, excellent aeration and
good food is going to make it possible for the fish to fight off the infestation.

Agreed, but they are certainly more stressful on the fish, who are already
stressed, than using .3% salt for salt sensitive organisms!

That being said, I use PP and formalin when indicated, without issue.
