    Great vid my vet showed me a way to make prazi water soluble, you just put it in a small piece of panty hose and roll it in your fingers while holding it in water .

    Hi can you make a video about the “30 day syndrome” for fry thanks from Australia. I’m just starting my journey in breeding discus

      In 35 years I have never had it happen, I believe it is caused by the parents having gill flukes. I always pre-treated my discus for flukes maybe that is why but not 100% sure.

      Every successful breeder I’ve ever met except one says they have never heard of it or never had it … but in talking with hundreds of of hobbyists over 30 years they all have all experienced it . I even went back in their social media history to back when they were beginning and getting help for 4 week syndrome and years later say they never had it .,, but heller I believe really has never had it because he cleans his fish so well. 😂

    Hey Steve, G'day from West Australia. Do you continue to feed when treating with praziquantel, or stop feeding for the 4 days?

      I still feed just cut back slightly, I have never seen any issues with praziquantinal

      @@shelleraquatics Thank you. Here in Australia I have only been able to get the liquid product. Should I dose as per the bottle or up it a little?

      If you read the label very closely it contains less than 5% prazi. I don't know the laws there but I would search out koi breeders or farms if possible. Thats where I learned a lot about praziquantinal
