Praziquantel and ICC

Post by Coelophysis »

Hi Duncan,

Can I use Praziquantel and ICC together? Fish are riddled with flukes and costia again! Previously used Praziquantel and m&f sequentially, but obviously didn't do the trick. I've put the Praziquantel in tonight as I'm thinking the costia probably followed the flukes being the more opportunistic of the two parasites. I've ordered more Praziquantel and ICC for the first time from the Chemical Factory.

Thanks,
Mark

I can say the ICC is great stuff I have had some great success with it.
Some of the little ****** can be very stubon but it works well for me so good luck

I dont see why not you can use prazi with mg&F and icc is slightly less invasive then MG&F due to its frequency of use (every other day)

Des,

Thanks for the encouragement. Fingers crossed I can gain some much needed respite from the little so and so's! They've been plaguing the koi for months.

Cheers,
Mark

Your welcome, as Duncan says I don not see why you can not use the Prazi with ICC it will make it a bit of a one stop hit for the parasites - all we need to try now is will it also work if we add CT as well !!!!! lol

May be that's next on Duncans list !!

you dose at 5 ml to every 100 gallons every other day so I make that 250ml per shot

the upside is the critters usually have gone by the 4th treatments
