Prazipro and hyposalinity on a burrfish

weez1959 · 05-19-2008, 03:37 PM

Hi Lee, I'm trying to help out someone who has a burrfish in QT.
Symptoms are a sunken belly but it eats like a pig but it also has ick.
Can Prazipro be used at the same time as hyposalinity?
If so does the dose have to be the same?

I'm afraid I can't directly speak for Prazipro. You should probably get an e-mail off to them.

If it was Praziquantel and it was being fed to the fish (mixed in their food) I know there would be no problem. But if the de-worming is going to be done by adding chemicals to the water, then it is best to follow the recommendation by the product manufacturer.

If the med was added to food and administered, like the Jungle product, then I am confident that would be okay too. But if the product is being added to a hyposaline water -- I don't know.

There is always a possibility that when the water is hyposaline that the product behaves differently. The manufacturer knows best. If you find out for sure, let us know.
