  • Potassium Permanganate

    Can anyone point me in the right direction for finding Potassium Permanganate locally?  
    I think it is hazardous cargo and so I am not sure how I would get it shipped.
    (I have a bit of a snail problem I don't want to allow to spread   )

    FYI I live in the Galleria area of Houston.

    Try Ace hardware or Sears in the pool chemical section.

      Thanks for the info!

      I had actually tried an ACE Hardware last weekend but failed to find it.
      I thought it would be in the water softener section.
      Is it actually labeled "potassium permanganate"?
      Can I just ask for that? or should I just check the pool section?

      Anyhow I will try again and look in the pool area this time.

              How big do those guys get?
              Are they like other loaches where you really need a group of them?

                the yoyo grows to be 4-5". I don't know about the other kind.   It's best to get at least 3 - they're social like that.  They love snails! I never planned on having loaches until my snail explosion - but i'm glad I picked them up..they're pretty cool 8)
