Just a quick question.. Can Metro harm Discus if there's nothing wrong with them.????
How about of the dose rate of Prazi is in liquid form? Such as something like PraziGuard
ANTIBIOTICS ARE NOT PROBIOTICS!!!!
giving metro to a healthy fish wont harm it, but you run the risk of breeding up your own unique strain of resistant organisum, if that happens when you need to use metro it wont work. the same goes for Prazi, thats the reason flukes are now resistant to it.

I thought that it was recommended to worm discus every 6 months, using Big L & prazi :?: :?: :?: Is this wrong :?: :?: :?:Quote:

Worming your fish on a regular basis IS RECOMMENDED. Big L and prazi are worm treatments, and quite safe to use.
Prazi eradicates gill and body flukes, as well as tapeworm.
Big L is for nematodes, like roundworm, threadworm etc.
You should give your fish a break of at least a week between worm treatments.
Thanks for clearing that up for me Merrilyn.
When I worm, I follow the 4 week Big L / Prazi plan on the sticky, here on this forum. Plus, metro is too darn hard to get hold of, to even consider using it "just in case".

Is this still the best dose rate in food?

um, i think my fry have fluke. I am treating them with prazi at the moment. The instruction said to do water change after 2 days (48hours). I thought that for fry tank, its necessary to do 50% water change every day....
10 mins after treatment...... sigh* three of the fry are on the bottom of the tank. I have increased the oxygen rate... please any suggestion...advice? sigh*
