24-48 hours should be fine, generally i'd do a treatment after a water change and just change water the next day as usuall.

those fish still need treatment, they arnt black and the fins arnt clamped, so i dont think you need metro, what wormer did you use?

prazi is old unter "fluke and worm tablet", "wormrid" etc you will have to check the ingredients on the bottle

or here if you need more

if i were you i'd use both big L in week 1 prazi on weeks 2 and 3 bigL week 4 if you still see white poo on week 4 do a big water change and try metro, for metro you'll need to visit a vet, or a doctor who keeps discus
