copperband twitching its head

[daniella3d]

No, prazipro does not contain anything else except a solvant. It is praziquantal in a liquid form, already dissolved and ready to use. I have read that some people say it containt metronidazole but I have no idea where they got this.

It's not that it will kill the flatworms in high dose, but rather that it kill certain type of flatworms and not others and the others that it does not kill are those pests in our aquarium. I would rather use flatworm exit instead if needed

The problem that remain with my copperband is that he's breathing quite fast in the morning and that changes during the day, then he start to breath slowly and normaly by mid day. Maybe there is just a lack of oxygen in my tank during the night because I shut off my skimmer to let the fish sleep? or maybe he's just spooked when the light turn on? I would imagine that if this was flukes it would be breathing fast all day, not just in the morning?

You may have to use a double dose for flat worms I don't know as I have never had them and never treated for them. I had a fish come in and after QT and was in the tank the fish started showing signs of flukes. I get mine out of the USA in 4 oz bottles so I don't order often only once in 1.5 years I got extra for a couple other people. and I still say it was flukes..
