best done a week apart, it only kills live flukes not eggs so you need to give time for the eggs to hatch.

Just a quick reply never use formalin base products with condy crystals.As it makes a gas bomb which can make you very sick even can be fatal.

You are correct, best to use RO or demineralised water from the supermarket to make your stock solution.
If you mean in the tank... see the NOTE below.

Once is plenty (pink colour in the white cup for full 4hrs) for knocking back bacteria and parasite numbers, which will perk a fish up. After this their immune systems are usually strong enough to keep them from getting sick again.
Note: You may need to repeat this procedure daily a few times in order for the water to stay pink that long. Excess dechlorinator or high bioloads will "use up" the PP very quickly. It's only effective when it's pink.

Quote: Andrew Soh recomends repeating five times every 4 days to break the cycle. I have done less to keep fluke numbers under control or clean breeders.
Hey
Does he mean treat 5 times in 4 days OR Treat 5 times altogether with a 4 day break in between?
Also, if i were to medicate parents but i don't want to contaminate the breeding tank. Would medicating them in a small tank be ok?
