Where did you buy anti-fluke anyone?

Thanks Paul
There have been mixed successes with prazi powder but not everyone uses it dissolved with DMSO.
DMSO not only dissolves the prazi but it is also used as a carrier to deliver medicines through tissue, possibly making prazi more effective.
Wikipedia has some good info on DMSO in the fourth paragraph under Medicine.

May have to try anti-fluke too, sounds effective.

Never had real good results with any Prazi treatments..IMO is too exspensive for the results..Anti-fluke is way cheaper with superior results IMO..Prazi has it place for other treatments IMO..As far as the topic being flukes,,I would have to say Anti-fluke is better ..It is up to the individual to form their own opinions..
Thanks for the information. You are all a great help!
Scott
Prazi has worked for me...the tank has gone fluke free...FINALLY!!!

Anyone know if anti fluke can/should be used on 2 inch juvies?
Scott
I just dosed anti-fluke (contains trichlorfon) to my 50 gallon that has a recurring fluke problem. Directions on the bottle just say how much (1drop/gal) to dose, nothing more. Is this a one day treatment? Do I retreat? Is it light sensitive? Do I need to lower or raise temp for best results? Any help appreciated.
Scott
Thanks David,
Looks to be the same stuff I guess. The bottle I purchased says: AP ANTI-FLUKE (but does not say life bearer) ingrediants trichloromethyl hydroxy dimethyl. After a few hours I can actually see that the fish are not stressed and actually seem to be breathing better, as if has relieved some of their gill discomfort.
Scott
That is their pond product, the AP Pro link takes you to a page that shows the bottle with Life Bearer on it. Don't know if they are different. They also make Clout, no wonder it works so well. They even have a product called Euthanize for when their products don't work.

Hope I wont need that one lolThey even have a product called Euthanize for when their products don't work.

Nah, I've used a lot of their products over the years and never had any problems with it. I will pull my bio-sponges and bio-balls from the HOB's and put them in a bucket with air and heat etc., and just put two new sponges in the HOBs since I've found that their Clout and the Life Bearer take a toll on the bio filter. Since it's usually a 24 -48 hr treatment with w/c's no need to worry about wq. just dose some extra Prime.
