Prazi (praziquantel) Help
Prazi is NOT formalin based. Prazi is gentle enough for puppies and kittens.
It will help to rid your fish of any internal parasites as well as the external ones. As opposed to SupaVerm, Prazi is "approved" for use on ALL fish, including tropicals and catfish. SupaVerm is actually a sheep dip; the use of it for koi is in a "grey" zone - and it can ONLY be used on koi. Other fish will die a very nasty death. Prazi can be used independently of Proform-C, the combination of which comprises the so-called Silver Bullet (formalin, malachite green and Prazi will kill just about ANYthing other than the viruses), but it's a real pain in the butt to dissolve. After shaking it for (what seemed like) forever, it STILL hadn't dissolved to any appreciable state. I thought I'd get clever and put it in the blender: Big Mistake. It will eventually dissolve in the pond; directions are to dump it by the filter intake. Winter temps will not bother the med, nor is a water change required after its use - so it can stay there quite awhile. As the water warms, flukes become more active and will cause more problems. Your choice: you can kill 'em now or kill 'em later. KoiZyme is not a med, but a water additive used to reduce the numbers of the aeromonas/pseudomonas bacteria that will induce ulcers in the areas munched by flukes. It's very effective, but will not "cure" an ulcer if one is already present. It's a preventative, not a cure. Hope this helps. Lee "REBEL JOE" wrote in message ... How soon in spring should you treat your pond with this. It says water temp don't matter but when would be best to kill the parasites. Has anyone used this before? http://community.webtv.net/rebeljoe/POND |
