Hello R2R!

One of the clownfish that I’d introduced a couple weeks ago unfortunately died of flukes today. I had been administering PraziPro to them for about 3 days, 1 teaspoon per day. But I apparently misunderstood what I’d read online; one dose LASTS 5-7 days, not to add one dose per day for 5-7 days.

Will anything happen to my tank, and what should I do to keep the rest of my fish healthy? I also did a 20% water change right after the clownfish’s death.

Do a couple of water changes 8hrs apart as it was overdosed. To clarify application, dose at 85% 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 lasting 8 days
Use airstone with prazi as it does reduce both oxygen and appetite.
