Maybe but he ate before hypo and right after...I still have him 5 years later

well you almost don't have a choice since these fish aren't too crazy about copper! Give her a try and you'll see if she's affected the same way.

Oh I am certainly going to treat her with hypo and something for the IP. Im just trying to figure out if I should do both at once or one at a time. I agree that hypo is generally easy on fish and it shouldn't be a big deal to treat both at once but I just want to make sure.

me too, I'm waiting for the answer, I'll let you know as soon as I know

I plan to do both at once. I've got lot's of filter media form my ceylon tank that's the perfect sg for hypo, so I'll fish her out soon. Here of some pics of our's:

Look how skinny she was, her belly was concave:

Here's the answer I got for you:

I'm afraid I can't directly speak for Prazipro. You should probably get an e-mail off to them.

If it was Praziquantel and it was being fed to the fish (mixed in their food) I know there would be no problem. But if the de-worming is going to be done by adding chemicals to the water, then it is best to follow the recommendation by the product manufacturer.

If the med was added to food and administered, like the Jungle product, then I am confident that would be okay too. But if the product is being added to a hyposaline water -- I don't know.

There is always a possibility that when the water is hyposaline that the product behaves differently. The manufacturer knows best. If you find out for sure, let us know.

Hope this helps!

Thanks!

That does help. I will do both at once but make sure I stick to meds that are only mixed into food and not the water, which I prefer anyways.

Thanks for getting that info for me, BTW.
