Adding metro powder and prazipro together?

[Deblee]

Can I add metro powder (Flagyl tablets 200 mg that I will crush to a powder) and prazipro to the water? I am feeding the powder in food but one of the fish won't eat. The one that won't eat at all is a Blonde naso tang. He is dark and has a pinched stomach. He is also breathing fast. These fish are in a 40g qt and I have only had them for a week and 1/2. There is the naso, gold flake angel, pakistani butterfly and a filefish.

I do not think you should mix prazi pro with any other meds.
I would do a round of general cure with focus for a few days. Garlic can help feeding response, if they wont take food soaked in the mix.
Water change.
Then prazi pro for 24 hours.
Water change.
Metro with focus for 6 days.
Then another prazi pro for 24 hours.
Prazi has been know to curb feeding.

Prazi can be used simultaneously with metro.
The product General Cure works great and is actually just a mix of these two medications.
I'd be careful about using Flagyl tablets though; they could have ingredients that are safe for humans but potentially hazardous to fish.
Agree with using some garlic to see if you can get that one fish eating.
You could also try live food like brine shrimp to get it eating something.

I live in Canada and we can't get medications for fish. The medication I do have is what I have ordered from the states. I don't have general cure and I think by the time it arrived in northern british columbia it would be to late. I am using garlic in their food but the tang will not eat. I am 8 hours from the nearest saltwater fish store so have no live foods. I feed lots of nori, PE mysis and vitalis pellets. I am going to order some general cure but it will take at least a week to get to me. Thanks for the reply's
