MORE is NOT BETTER !!

FAQ :
Q. How often should I use Aqua Prazi™ (praziquantel)?

A. Aqua Prazi should be used on new fish in quarantine, unless you can check a scrape under a microscope and are sure your new fish do not have flukes. Treat with Aqua Prazi if your fish show the symptoms listed under “Parasites” “Flukes” on this web site. Many pond keepers find it a good practice to treat their fish for flukes as soon as their fish start to eat in the spring. I think this is a very good practice.

MORE is NOT BETTER !!

Any treatment that is used when not needed or overdosed becomes useless when you have a real problem. The parasites or bacteria become resistant to the treatment. I think a good example of this is “salt”. Years ago you could use a safe, natural treatment like salt to treat many of the small parasites like costia, trichodina and others. Now because of the overuse and increase in the amount of salt used by many foreign koi breeders. We now have strains of salt resistant costia and trichodina (super bugs!!). Just because some koi breeders thought more was better we lost a very safe natural treatment.

Q- Will we lose one of the safest, most gentle fluke treatment we ever had??

A- I could see this OVERKILL problem happening to Prazi. I’ll never forget the OLD DAYS of the harsh, gill damaging treatments for flukes we used. The treatments were more damaging and stressful to the fish than the flukes.
Talking with some pond keepers, I hearing the same old story about Prazi that I heard about salt, OVERDOSE ! OVERDOSE! MORE IS BETTER !! NOT TRUE !! Please don’t follow this misleading advice.

Double check your calculations!
If you treat your fish for flukes with Aqua Prazi and you’re sure by using a microscope that your fish still have flukes. Double check the calculations of the number of gallons in your pond and the dosage of Aqua Prazi is correct then treat one more time.

Are you really willing to lose a safe, gentle treatment for flukes like Aqua Prazi, only to be left with HARSH CHEMICALS ?
