eye flukes?

[daniella3d]

I read that it does kill flukes. Here is a reply from the Seachem tech support:

"Paraguard is very effective against gill flukes and the ich parasite. It is a broad spectrum medication that treats for external parasites, bacterial infections, fungal infections, and viral infections. The best administration of this medication is in a quarantine system, as it is not 100% guaranteed reef/invert safe."

Probably I should give the trigger a freshwater dip and see if any of these fall of. If they are flukes, they will detach and then I will know for sure. The trigger is in the display tank, so that does not sound good if these are flukes as they are in the main tank now

I did a quick lookup of Paraguard: http://www.seachem.com/Products/prod...ParaGuard.html
... and unfortunately I don't see anything that lists specifically against flukes or flatworms. As far as I understand, flukes are a flatworm and thus require a specific medication against flatworms, such as praziquantel (which is available either as "praziquantel" or as "Prazipro" which is a liquid solution but contains praziquantel as the active ingredient).

I'm trying to find a product description for the praziquantel powder that I used to treat skin/gill flukes when I had a fish with them but as it was a year ago now I'm having trouble finding the webpage I found back then. I'll keep searching and post it if/when I find it.
