Flukes Treatment Calendar

[Humblefish]

This tool (see link below) was developed by the Marine Parasitology Laboratory, James Cook University in Townsville, Queensland. It is meant to help you schedule treatment for Neobenedenia (most common species of marine flukes), based upon temperature and salinity the fish is being treated in. They are using osmotic shock (freshwater dip) to rid fish of flukes, but the schedule also applies to when you should dose the second round of praziquantel/Prazipro.

Thanks for the site info. I was wondering the exact maturity. Now it's time to win the battle! I have a yellow&purple wrasse(Banana) I am worried about right now. Picking up some Prezipro today thanks to @melypr1985 for the great tip. I could send you both flowers now, because with the help I won't need them for Banana's porcelain headstone.
