Praziquantel powder

[Thomashtom]

Hi I have praziquantel powder from diamond pharmaceutical which is 100% pure. Does anyone know the dosage ? I am looking to treat about 400 gallons. Thanks

Noga recommends for prolonged immersion to use 7.6mg per gallon of tank water.

What do you mean by prolonged immersion? Thanks

He also listed other dosages for short immersions like a 3 hour bath at much higher strength of 38mg per gallon. Or a 1.5 hour bath at 76mg per gallon.

That would be what G is referring to as prolonged immersion. You know like dosing it into a tank and not removing it for awhile.

Ok thanks

Thought I remembered a similar post from you about a year ago. Problems still remaining from a year ago? Did you find out specifically what type of flatworm you need to treat?

Possible flukes? Really hard to catch fish without stressing out fish and tank in order to verify with fw dip. Dussemeri has what looks like fluke on his eye or he scratched it hard to tell.? He was twitching. Here are hard to come by pics!!! Not allowing me to get good pics either. What do you think? Thanks
