The instructions are not the clearest I've seen.
This is what I can make of it. Please make sure of the following: -There should be no skimmer, filters, or UV sterilizers usage as well as no carbon usage during the treatment (5 days) as it will pull the medication out of the water. I would also take any other media out of the tank (such as purigen) and turn pumps off if present to reactors. -This is a slower kind of treatment where you leave it in the tank for the week basically -Change water BEFORE treatment, not after. They have neglected to clarify when the new water should go in. It should go in BEFORE you add the medication as to make sure the dosage is not messed with in your tank. -This treatment seems to be sensitive to chlorine, chloramine, and ammonia. Make sure to use a water conditioner in your tank to pull these things out. They probably affect the medication. Wish you and your friend all the best. Johnny |

My blue throat trigger died yesterday. I thought he had made a turn for the better, out swimming, eating, but 2 days ago, he stopped coming out to eat. My daughter found him floating around the tank yesterday morning.
All other fish are doing well, but I still can't get rid of the worms. I've treated 4 times now with Prazipro, yellow tang still seems full of them. Not sure what to do.

Not sure how good your relationship with your vet is, but if you can get some piperezine, combined with Maracyn 2, or Levamisole if you can get it.

Could you give some info on this? Is it a stronger med to get rid of the worms?

Both are much stronger, yes, and has some larval effectiveness as well.

I've called both vets I use and neither carry those recommendations. I've also called the Calgary Avion and Exotic Pets and would have to bring a fish and stool sample in.
I'm still calling around, hopefully come up with something, at a reasonable cost. Vet visit would not be cheap.

Your vet will not give you a Rx for one or both?
