Leave standing for 10 to 20 minutes and feed to fish. All done
1 of Mrs Old Dave's discus seems to be exhibiting symtoms of flukes, but I would like to treat all the fish in the tank with 100mg Fluke & Tapeworm tablets.Quote:

I have a GS pleco & a clown loach in the tank and some corydoras and cardinals in a quarrantine tank ready to join them.
My main question is about how to use the prazi tablets.
If I add 1x100mg tablet to 25ml of water and soak NLS pellets in the solution to absorb most of the liquid is this likely to be successful?
I like the post from lpiasente but I still suspect worms & beefheart can also be sources of unwanted nasties.
The principle is the same but without the metho. :shock:
Thanks in Advance,
Old Dave
Jothy, is this still the dose of metro in the water 250mg / 10L that we should be using?Quote:

as flagellets are becoming more and more resistant to metro the exposure time seems to be more important, i treat every 48hrs with a 50% change inbetween for 10days (5 treatment in total each @ 25mg/L) with new fish, with my long standing pairs 3 treatments 48hrs apart seems to still work fine
Thanks Jothy
So if I am dosing 40L, I need 1000mg per dose, right?
I've read recently that the active ingredient of the metro is basically gone in 8hrs & DPH recommends dosing every 8hrs (but at a lower rate of 500mg per 10USG).
Others have recommended redosing every 24hrs. But every 48hrs should be enough?
I am a bit dense today Jothy & can't work out how you get to 95 treatments. If you are dosing for 10 days, with the re-dose frequency every 48hrs - isn't that only 5 doses?
40L = 1000g sorry 95 was a typo fixed now, if your doing daily changes then redose 25mg/L after every change, just keep it up for a full 10days.
Get really friendly with your GP :D Mine is happy to give me a script for my fish every so often... Don't think anyone can get high on taking it :PQuote:

I would like to ask, is it possible to freeze the 100gms of food that has Metro mixed into it?
It's because I can't feed 100gms in one go so I thought maybe i can freeze the left overs and save for next meal?
Would there be any effects on the medication if it is freezed?
thanks
