Just want to know whether anyone has thought of or used Alcohol as solvent to premix Prazi with?
Alcohol & Prazi is used for Koi with good results and is considered by Koi specialists as a better solvent than Acetone.

Hi paul,
Prazi for tapeworms doesn't require any solvent at all, just mix with water.

Same for using it for flukes. It may look like it doesn't go into solution, but enough does to do the trick.

Alcohol is a good solvent, but its toxic. I Don't know what kind of water volumes the koi are treated in or the amounts of alcohol used, but I would be carefu water volume, of temperature differences in the two types of tanks, dissolved oxygen level, pH , can all effect the alcohol metabolism by the fish.

hth,
