Dosing Praziquantel (PZQ)

Understood. Thank you very much for your explanation.
Jay Hemdal said:
Hello,

No - routine additions of PZQ is not suggested. What happens is that causes a population of heterotrophic bacteria to grow that is able to consume PZQ - rendering it useless. Anything more than 4 or 5 treatments will cause this to happen. This bacteria stays in the tank for a long time, rendering future use also a problem.
