I havent used prazipro on any of my fish tht i have but everything is doing ok this far but i wanted some opinions if i decided to use it in my main tank? Its FOWLR but i do have snails and shrimps... As well as a snowflake eel. Would it be ok to use in my DT?

I myself would worry about the eel as a lot of them are sensitive to medication.

I have never used it with an eel but I like to error on the side of caution. So for myself I would not.

Well, I have used it with eels on quite a few occasions and they were fine.

Ok good you have used it on them before... thank you! I'll be using it this week. Another question is I knw i have to dose prazipro twice but is it a must? I guess im iy asking because of my snails n shrimp but if they will all be fine then I'll stick to what is recommended to do

They will be fine. It does need to be done twice. The first dose kills the flatworms, there is a water change before the next dose (5-7 days later) which kills the newly hatched babies. Prazi doesn't kill the eggs so we dose it twice.
