I use pottassium permanganate for disinfecting nets, fin rot and body rot.
I mix potassium permanganate till the water is slightly pinkish...like Ribena.

Let us work together to preserve the world for our children to inherit by being responsible to our surroundings. Take nothing but pictures, leave nothing but footprints, bubbles and memories.
Some fish shop do sell the crystal form. You have to throw a few crystal in water and use the solution but they sell quite expensive. Pharmacies should have the crystals from sale too. For me I only used the ocean free one, should be Potassium Permanganate, it looks the same to me but they never state on the bottle, just said its some new formula from Germany.----------------

kmno4 is a very strong oxidising agent and will stain hands purple
if you're just out to sterilise equipment, might i suggest using hydrogen peroxide instead?
if you do get your hands stained, some hypo (or antichlorine) will remove the discoloration
dea, wouldnt h2o2 be stronger than kmno2?? or perhaps its a different peroxide used for bleaching hair used in hair salon?!?!? we r using kmno2 for wounds right?
To each her own fish !

kmno4 and h202 serve pretty much the same purpose, yes
iirc kmno4 is a stronger oxidising agent
the reason why it's not used for bleaching hair is it stains things purple
thats a short cut for pple who wants purple hair !!!
maybe an in thing in japan!! hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!! those fashion geeks

skin, nails, hair, clothes
hey fox
using it to cure fish dieases is the ultimate last resort coz executing PP treatment has to be accurate and timing precise as it will be a dip treatment.....using PP will also send the stress level of the fish over the top as its got something to do with PP reacting with the gill filaments.........

The title below my name does not make me a guru...listen at your own risk!...
I got mine from the pharmacy. Any drugstore should carry the PP solution for wound disinfection (< $2). You need to check the strength though to see if it is suitable for direct treatment on fish (apart from disinfecting purposes).----------------
