Finding PraziPro in Canada

[VanCityReef]

Hi reefers,

I'm In Vancouver, BC and I am in dire need of PraziPro. Canada has made it illegal to purchase fish medications, which has made it incredibly difficult to rid parasites. I have a vet willing to write a prescription, however, he doesn't know where I can go to fill it and get the meds.

Does anyone know where to get? Anyone have extra that they are willing to sell? Any advice is greatly appreciated!!!

Breaks my heart when I see all these flukes etc on my poor PBT.

Thanks,
Shane

I do not live in the US but was trying to find some info for you on alternatives. Fritz Mardel may work on mild fluke cases. You could also try a freshwater dip. Apparently the flukes just come flying off during those. Maybe malachite green?


@Jay Hemdal Mentioned that Hyposalinity works. This was the thread I saw. https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/how-to-cure-fish-flakes-in-canada.759607/

I know I’m late but I got a order on Furan 2 and got some extra rid ich + which has formalin in it

I have some, a large bottle and I've only used a little. The expiration is sometime in 2021, I can't read the month because it is fuzzy. I live in Langley, you're welcome to it if you want it.

Could I buy some? Its good to have extra

I honestly don’t know, but maybe try ordering online?

I’m from Van as well, grew up there at least. All fish meds are now banned in Canada? what the heck?

I took delivery of a bottle of Prazi in error 16oz I think. I wouldn't use it normally in freshwater. It's up for grabs cdn$40 (15usd plus a little recoup of shipping). Can ship anywhere in Canada.

Yes. Know all about your dilemma caused me to lose all of my 17 tank bred cichlids. Amazon stock up on everything. I got Vibrant which I will never use after reading the huge problems with it. PraziPro, Copper safe, and Metro Plex

how did you make out?

Hey! By chance would you still have this on hand?

Long shot but do you still have this?

 

[Freenow54]

I have an unopened bottle. It expired June last year if you want to take the chance I will give it to you. I will ship

Hey, just wanted to share my experience in case it helps someone.

I was in the same situation a couple months ago trying to find PraziPro in Canada. Ended up ordering a couple of 4 oz and one 16 oz bottles from a Canadian site (mypond.ca). It shipped from Ontario and made it to me in Kelowna, BC without any issues.

I used it on my fish and it did the job - cleared things up and they bounced back nicely.

Not sure what their current stock situation is, but it worked out for me and I’ll probably grab more from there when I run out.

Hope that helps someone

PraziPro is also available via Amazon.com with shipping to Canada, direct from Hikari. I ordered mine without issues.
