Anyone use Prazipro X for de-worming? Question for Leebca

[Ashr]

Hello all

I have a yellow tang that had stringy white poop last night.. lots of it. Now this is the first time I have seen him do this. He eats well and does not look like he has lost weight. He is still young and small though.

I have read that this is most likely a worm that needs to be remove. I am setting up my QT right now for him.

I have read that Prazipro X works really well and wanted to see if anyone else has used it.



PS: I know my tank is to small for the tang, he was a gift and will be selling him when he gets bigger. Just letting the tang police know haha

I've soaked food in Prazipro then fed the fish. They didn't like the taste of it but they got some of it. I did that once a week for 3 weeks while they were in QT. HTH

So with Prazi Pond Plus I can add this right to the DT? It says it is reef safe.. want to know what others think?

Thanks

Hi Ashr,

I used it in my RSM 250 and its fine. I just followed lee's directions and mixed it the the food. I also mixed it with Seachem Focus so it would bond to the food better.

Hope this helps.

Did you try ebay?

Nothing is better than feeding medicated food to a marine fish with intestinal problems. One of the best things about using the right medication (for food) is that the fish can remain in its current display tank. It couldn't get any easier than this -- for the fish.

Try to find a group near you or someone to share the costs of getting the right medication. I think more of the fish than I do of the hobbyist!

I used prazipro liquid from LFS (also at Drs F&S cheap).
It worked great, even though I couldn't get clowns to eat saturated food (treated QT water).
