I am very concerned with parasites in all African fish. Most ssem to have parasites even if they were treated when imported.
I treat with Prazipro and epsom salts about every 6 months. Completely harmless as far as I can tell. Bonus : if they are constipated it cleans them out.

Every 6 months huh? Sounds like a good preventative. By treating with prazipro, do you mean by just adding it to the water or soaking their food in it?

Id also like to know about the prazipro haha it sounds like a good idea, esp if i can soak their food in it.
 
I got into the habit because of an Mbu that I couldn't ever get completely clean of IP. When the stringy poop started again, time for another round. Adding epsom salts at the same time helps them purge everything in their gut. Prazi is a very safe med so I feel comfortable doing it.
 
I just dose the tanks
