Aren't there some fish that you cannot use Formalin/formaldehyde on?

So far I haven't found any to react negatively.

I use it for everything that arrives and before going into the DT after QT. Also between tank transfers

So a Formalin dip for 45-60 minutes and then directly into a QT with PraziPro?

With a formalin dip, prazipro should not be needed for a week

I've found it to be gentle on my tang. He's gone thru about 4 in between transfer dips. this is my first time using it
