still paying price of for my lax quarantine - fluke/prazi quiestion

[Jack L]

as i posted a month or so ago, i didn't qtank right. lost a D and 3 farlowellas.

ich is gone, after ich i did prazi for flukes..., i saw improvement in breathing rate and reduced flashing. i only did 1 dose of prazi. on 8/12. around 8/20ish i noticed some picked up flashing activity and breathing up again.

i'm thinking i should have just done 2 weeks of prazi.

i plan to do that now, any objections? or should i do 3 weeks?

thanks.

For flukes I have used prazi for 21 days. Some flukes now a days seems to be somewhat resistant also.
Water quality is imperative so that the fish are in low stress living to help them cope with a small infestation and live with the parasite without the parasite bothering them much.

Make sure to test all water parameters and make sure ph is stable.
