I did. At least it was the pellets they completely attack if not medicated. Had to slightly dissolve in a bit of water to mix the meds in but they would have none of it. Just curious about others experiences.

Really sorry...we all need to have the basic Rx on hand...including Chloroquine Phosphate...If its velvet or uremia...it works...am I correct, Bobby or Meredith?...no expert here...Yellow tang is gone.
The lyretail seems to be affected too.
I don't think so...but I'm not a med expert...question is why do you have ammonia...if you do...that may be what's happening to your fish...Humble or Meredith...HELP!Will adding an ammonia reducer like Prime to a tank with Prazi or Metro make anything toxic? I know it's a no no for copper but what about other meds?
Do you feed frozen Mysis and such...I sort of mashed it up with the meds and whamo!I did. At least it was the pellets they completely attack if not medicated. Had to slightly dissolve in a bit of water to mix the meds in but they would have none of it. Just curious about others experiences.

Why do you need it...mini cycle?Not sure about metro, but there have been bad anecdotal experiences of mixing ammonia reducer + Prazi.

My experience (limited) thus far with Metro and Kanaplex + focus is that the fish will not even look at it... I have added garlic to make it more palatable but even than they would just walk away. Curious to know others' experiences and tricks to get them to eat it.
Focus really helps...mix with enough food...follow the directions...mine ate it every time...what fish did you have that you tried it on...?I haven't tried everything, but for what I've tried I've never had a fish eat meds. They seem to know 100% of the time. Certainly they know more than a dog or cat does!

saw some stringy stuff in the water this morning...could be worms so I'll do the metroplex, food and focus...2X, 2days apart should do it...Focus binds the meds to the food...so it doesn't just drift away...Many different target fish but only Seachem Metro. It was claimed to be all that worked if you could get them to eat it. I got a lot of finicky fish to eat lots of different foods, but never medicated food. I don't know what Focus is, but clearly they invented it for a reason.
YMMV

Thanks Meredith...You want to feed metroplex (for intestinal worms) once a day, every day for a minimum of 10 days... though it can take longer than that to clear up the worms since they tend to be stubborn.
Has anyone had good experiences with Wrasse and copper? I am planning to add a couple of Wrasse (Melanarus and Yellow coroa) but my last experience with a Solorensis Wrasse and cupramine was not great.
Question....im about to dose prozipro for the first(first time using quarantine at all) I have 3 purple fire fish in a 10gal tank for 2 weeks now all eating music the whole time. I've read through your first post on does and donts but my question is if prazi is only active 72 hours why should I wait 5-7 days on first treatment then 5 days on 2nd treatment before water changes?
Also...don't be surprised if one or two of the ff eventually kills the others...especially in a 10...they are well know for fighting till the last man unless you have a m and f pair...I started out with 6 in my 65...now have one pair and an outlier who is pretty skinny and may eventually succumb...recommend Scott W. Michael's " Nano Reef Species" and his "Marine Fishes"...it'll tell you the needs of each fish and what works and what to avoid...also the Newbie forum on R2R is a good place to start...good luck...The water changes are more for removing waste from dead flukes and toxins that were released by dying flukes. Before you hit the "next generation" with another round of Prazipro.
