How often can Paraguard baths be given safely?

[Newms118]

I'm using Paraguard at a dose of 3 mL per gallon and after doing a 1 hour dip, the fish seems a bit frazzled but overall ok. Is it safe to do Paraguard dips every day or every other day, etc.? Since this is similar to formalin baths I'd imagine that the bath frequency would mirror that, but is this correct?

I would contact Seachem directly and ask them for guidance. IME, Paraguard is not commonly used or advocated on this forum.

I have dosed paragard in a QT tank for "black ich" as it's referred to, for 30 days everyday. It killed the worms. Like Chris mentioned it's not widely advocated or used. Has its place with new arrival Bath's maybe but formalin is used much more. To answer your question, everyday. Would contact seachem to verify, they have a very knowledgeable staff.
