I try to avoid medicating an entire DT if at all possible, the one exception I made was treating for flatworms which I believe resulted in the death of one of my favorite fish. So personally I only use Prazi-Pro in a QT tank. That being said however, I was also concerned at one time about parasites and not having QT space for all my fish I opted for an anti-parasitic that is food based. This medicates the fish directly as opposed to treating the entire water column. What I used is a product called Gel-tek (found at Petland). It's an orange thick liquid that contains praziquentel, as well as two other anti-parasitic meds. It's supposed to be tasty to fish directly but found my fish ignored it so instead I soaked mysid shrimp with it. I held off feeding for a while so everyone was hungry then target fed each fish that I was worried about. No problems, no loss of any inverts either. Not ideal, but worked when QTing everything isn't a viable option.
