Bill, did you maybe mean Praztastic has a second ingredient besides praziquantel?

Ok I dosed again because it's the second time this week that I see my copperband breathing from only one gill and the other gill is closed and not moving. That was a clear sign of flukes with my discus, so I am guessing that breathing from only one gill is also a sign with saltwater fish?

I don't see how a second treatment will do harm since it went really well the first time and I will be safe that it will take care of what ever could be left.

I am going to wait 2 days and transfer the fish after that. Guess that will be about 10 days treatment with prazipro.

I put the copperband in the main tank this evening because his breathing was nice and slow and wow, within 2 minutes he started to roam the aquarium picking at the feather dusters all over. I thought he would be shy but no, he's all over the place. The best part is that nobody even pay attention to him, so he's doing his little thing in peace. So far so good

yes that was it I think, but dog medication for tape worms have 2 ingredients there are a few other med's that have praziquatel and another ingredient in it, so no one is wrong in this instants. and yes it can affect flat worms I believe it depends on the dose you use as Prazi pro is quite diluted in comparison to praziquatel when mixed up.
