I will be starting them on PraziPro by Hikari. Any recommendation as to the regimen? Should I just follow the instructions on the bottle or is there a better substitute?

Use this.

Remove carbon.
Add 2.5 milligrams per liter of water.
If you are using the powdered version, it is difficult to dissolve. Predissolve in tank water by shaking it up in a small container.
Dosing
Day 1 -- remove carbon, perform water change with vacuuming, and add Prazi to tank
Day 2 -- add Prazi
Day 3 -- do nothing
Day 4 -- do nothing
Day 5 -- do nothing
Day 6 -- add Prazi
Day 7 -- add Prazi
Day 8 -- normal partial water change with vacuuming
Day 14 - normal partial water change, then add prazi
Day 21 - normal partial water change, then add prazi
Day 28 - normal partial water change, then add prazi
Day 35 - normal partial water change, add carbon, treatment is complete
If you need to do a water change in the middle, then redose prazi per the water volume replaced although as prazi is a very mild treatment, it is very hard not to overdose at all.

I still think I'd rather be using the Jungle Anti-Parasite medicated food as a precaution here.

Thanks Lupin! Do you do a full dosing everytime or just replace what you removed?

how are these rays doing since you took the shots of the fecal matter.Did they stop eating.update please

They have always eaten fine, their feces is just abnormal. I know what normal ray feces look like and mine are stringy and white.

The latter. I don't think a slight overdose will hurt though since prazi is not as lethal as most anthelmintics tend to be.

Wow, is this formula for standard Prazi-Bath? If so, I have been doing the correct time frame but not the same Prazi Treatment
