prazi pro questions

[LukeSivyer45]

Hello everyone, these questions have probably been asked before but I would like them to be cleared up. I am upgrading from a 10 gallon to a 20 gallon soon and my male clownfish has had a slightly pinched stomach and translucent ish body for the past 4 years which has never stopped him as he is very active and is always ready to eat however I thought it would be best to quarantine the pair now. should I also buy my future livestock for the 20 gallon like cleaner shrimp and neon goby to also quarantine at the same time? in terms of dosing it I have heard a few different things about the amount to dose plus I have sand and some rock. Finally I only have a seachem tidal HOB filter and apparently prazi reduces the oxygen so would another water pump be beneficial or is something like an airstone/ wavemaker more advised? if anyone can guide me that would be greatly appreciated.

Do not add shrimp to medication but rather add it to display . As for dosage, recommended is to dose at 80% of recommended and apply initial dosage known as an interval lasting for 8 days, do a water change and do one more 8 day dose interval
Use airstone with prazi as it does reduce both oxygen and appetite. If running a skimmer, leave cup off first 24 hrs as skimmer will go nuts from the glycol solution in Prazi

Here is a post I made about dosing praziquantel.

Prazipro should be dosed at the actual water volume of the tank. That is often about 85% of the tanks rated volume if you don’t know the actual volume (due to rock displacement, etc)
