Prazipro in DT?!

[merlberg]

I havent used prazipro on any of my fish tht i have but everything is doing ok this far but i wanted some opinions if i decided to use it in my main tank? Its FOWLR but i do have snails and shrimps... As well as a snowflake eel. Would it be ok to use in my DT?

They will all be fine.

I myself would worry about the eel as a lot of them are sensitive to medication.

Prazi is quite gentle, unloke copper or formalin, the eel will be fine.

I have never used it with an eel but I like to error on the side of caution. So for myself I would not.

Well, I have used it with eels on quite a few occasions and they were fine.

Ok good you have used it on them before... thank you! I'll be using it this week. Another question is I knw i have to dose prazipro twice but is it a must? I guess im iy asking because of my snails n shrimp but if they will all be fine then I'll stick to what is recommended to do

I would dose twice and your eel will be fine.

It's a dewormer, so flukes and internal worms.

They will be fine. It does need to be done twice. The first dose kills the flatworms, there is a water change before the next dose (5-7 days later) which kills the newly hatched babies. Prazi doesn't kill the eggs so we dose it twice.

I believe it can effect your worms and feather dusters. If you have a lot it could cause an ammonia spike so monitor for that
Here's the link where Humblefish mentions this issue
