Prazi came in today, water was clear so I dosed 4 milliliters of it. Says 1 treatment is 5-7 days, so does that mean I won't have to dose it again for another 5-7 days?
Yea the one dose for 5 days then another.
Read this;
Treatment:
For fish use, in tank treatment is the best.
The medication is absorbed directly from the treated water into the fish.
Typically, one treatment is all that is needed to cure the infection. The traditional suggestion for fluke infestation is repeating a single treatment in four or five days after the first treatment is given to kill emerging larvae which may have survived.
There are no known side effects of Praziquatel, but there have been studies to show it can become toxic in high volumes, which are somewhere around 40x to 50x greater than recommended dosing.
Taken from
Praziquantel as an Aquarium Fish Treatment for Worms, etc.
Thanks Caleb. I'm pretty satisfied with it.
Another rainy day in Mooresville, NC. Which means it's a good day for me to go buy some fish! Might make a trip to one of my LFS to pick up that female GBR. Not too expensive there. I might also pick up another amazon sword, I love the giant one I have in the tank already. Going to probably put those RCS in the 5.5 for now, then see if I can move some over to the 26 once the populations grows. Fed the GBR some bloodworms today, he loves them! He doesn't like the pellets I have though. I think bloodworms are healthier too, but they are high in fat. He just eats whatever he can find, like baby snails, larval amano shrimp, and some plant leaves every now and then. Anyway, that's it for now! I'll post pics later if I end up getting the female ram.
Yay for more GBR!

Good luck getting him a girl!!!
Yay for GBR!
They are cool little fish.
