During their quarantine process, I noticed yesterday that my Gulper Cats seem to have come with some hitch hikers that I have ID as fish lice. I know the physical removal of the lice will be required but is there any treat methods or meds that will be safe for my scaleless gulper cats?
Thanks.

I use Dimilin X from eBay. Sugarcreek seller is good. It's a safe med. Hard to OD.

Thanks for the tip. For myself in Canada, I can get my hands on Microbe-Lift/Lice & Anchor Worms which indicates is ok for use with scaleless fish and does not affect my cycle.
