How do I kill freshwater lice on Christmas moss? I’m moving it from a tank with just plants (which I wasn’t really tending to), and want to add it into some tanks with my fish. I’ve read hydrogen peroxide and bleach will kill it. I’ve already tried Blue Planet Paracide, thinking of trying formalin

Formalin is a bad idea. Better to use the peroxide or bleach solution. Another option is to treat the plants in a separate container with Frtiz Paracleanse at full strength or API general cure at half strength. These 2 meds are for treating fish lice among other parasites.
