Fry Prazi treatment

[guille2007]

What would be the schedule for fry prazi treatment?, they are currently 15 days of free swimming.

Anyone please?

I would never treat 15 dayold fry with Praziquantel, it is very hard on them and will affect the appetite of the fry at such a crucial period. Do you have a special reason for wanting to use this dangerous chemical on such young animals??

Thanks for reply Rod,I have seen the male scratching against the sponge tube for 2-3 times, have read it can be done by when they are 21 days old,if ok at 21 days?, what would be the treatment schedule?

Also another question for you or anyone?, if I have an almost new carbon filter in the water line, would be necessary to also use a dechlorinator to be safe with chlorine?

I pretty much agree with Rod, early treatment with Prazi. Signs of scratching is a indication
that water quality and daily cleaning procedure should be more critical, do more waterchanges, clean the bottom and walls, clean the sponge and etc.

I use a GAC filter in line with the tap, works well.
