Hi,
I’m checking back in 9 days later..
So I haven’t seen flashing since my second dose of Prazipro which was put in last week Tuesday morning.
Until last night and this morning I’m seeing one fish flashing again..
Today is day 9 from the second dose.. should I be putting in a third dose?
The flashing seems to have mostly cleared up in the tank, and I don’t want it to get bad again…
(The tank has Cupramine in it too at .58)
Depending on the species of fluke involved, three treatments (or even more) may be needed in order to break the life cycle. We always hope that two will do it, but sometimes it doesn't.
Here is the issue: bacteria grows in your aquarium with each prazipro dose, that bacteria feeds on the praziquantel in the water. With each dose, there is more bacteria. Eventually, the bacteria eats the prazi as fast as you are dosing it. If that happens (and nobody can tell you exactly when any given tank will reach that point) prazi just stops working. If that happens, hyposalinity is the best option.
