Can Prazi be used as a dip?
Or maybe short term exposure in one small tank and then move the fish into another tank without dosing a second time?
I guess a big question is what are you trying to accomplish? Are you talking about adding a new fish and then sending to qt? Or do you have a sick fish you are trying to treat?Can Prazi be used as a dip?

What he said— better to treat in the tank, unless you just need immediate relief and don’t want to dose it in quarantine which is rare IMO — we did it recently on a Red Sea regal angelfish that was eating well (hard to get), and was even doing so in fully therapeutic copper... rather than adding another possible appetite suppressor to the tank and potentially harming the other wrasse and inhabitants also under full Copper (wrasse can be copper sensitive as well), we opted for one prazi bath for immediate relief with full intentions of treating everyone in 15 days when the copper was removed with prazi in the QT. No other fish showed symptoms so that was the judgment call I made.Yes, but two things:
^^ The above will need to be repeated in 5-7 days to eliminate any hatchlings.
- The bath should last 3-4 hours to be sure you got them all.
- The fish should be placed in a new QT post bath, to prevent reinfection.
After the second bath, a 5 min FW dip can be given to ensure all flukes are gone: https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/freshwater-dip.248898/
The reason for the FW dip is to check for prazi resistant flukes. In 2013 research done, as reported in Aquaculture Volumes 404-405, Prazipro was shown to only be 82% effective against Neobenedenia girallae.
