    Try putting them in an iodine dip for 15 to 20 minutes. You will most likely need to do this 3 ofr 4 days in a row.

    Thanks for the quick reply, at the moment its very late so will not be able to do much until tomorrow, what should i get iodine or iodide, and what exactly do i do with it, besides this, is there anything else, and incase it is the brown slime disease, how is this cured?

    Thanks
