HummingBird Posted May 24, 2007 Report Share Posted May 24, 2007 Dunno about the dosage etc, try searching previous topics/the internet. But yes, the carbon needs to be removed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew_W Posted May 24, 2007 Report Share Posted May 24, 2007 Carbon will absorb any chemicals added to the water...or so I'm told Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herefishiefishie Posted May 24, 2007 Report Share Posted May 24, 2007 I have a worm tablet contains 100mg Praziquantel/tab. Dose rate is one tab per 20litres. After 48 hours change approx 25% of the aquarium water. Dose may be repeated in 7 days to prevent re-infestation. Warning; Do not use on loaches, tetra species or baby fish. May adversley affect some species of snails. Remove activated carbon. I use with the species mentioned, if they are in the tank I use a lower dose. 1125mg for 225lt, if my maths is right.

jolliolli Posted May 24, 2007 Report Share Posted May 24, 2007 Don't know if this helps but my bottle of prazi recommends 2.5mg/L in to the filter box. It then recommends a re-treatment in 3 - 5 days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicmack Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 can you overdose with this stuff? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firenzenz Posted May 30, 2007 Report Share Posted May 30, 2007 Hi I dosed 2 weeks ago with 5ml per 100ltrs, a vacumn for worms next day with little water change then a back up dose 48hrs later. Turn of any UV filter and remove carbon. The discus have grown another stomach it seems since-feeding and looking great. The Bayer product Adtape is as I understand is the commercial name for Praziquatel here- can someone shed anymore light on that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayci Posted May 30, 2007 Report Share Posted May 30, 2007 Where do you get Adtape from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firenzenz Posted May 30, 2007 Report Share Posted May 30, 2007 Adtape is a commercial drench and obtained from rural suppliers. I understand even farmers now are required to jump through hoops to get. funny to think that delicate Discus use the same product as Llamas, we should be able to get it a lot easier than we can.

HummingBird Posted May 30, 2007 Report Share Posted May 30, 2007 You should just be able to go to your vet and ask for it...at least that's what I did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
