ICH treatment?

Anyone have experience with this food based treatment? I can see the benefit of feeding this prophylactically during TTM and QT. I am considering using it for the new additions I have planned, and I am hoping others could share their experiences with it or thoughts on it.

If you fed that and only that for a prolonged period of time (months) then I believe yes. It will only work for ich though. The hex works for internals but PP can be administered in much less time and better results IMO. Dr Gs makes frozen food with meds in it if your trying to go the food route and feed mostly frozen.

Does it work?

It can be great, if it can be incorporated into the weekly diet as preventative measure.

What is PP? Why do you think the NLS product would only work if used for months? I am thinking of using it during the TTM and QT of new fish.
I have had a very healthy fish population since my ich outbreak a year or two ago but I really would like to add a few more fish. I have always been against just treating with out evidence of illness, but we regularly deworm puppies and cats without evidence of worms. Just thinking outloud...

PP=prazipro. The levels of chemical in the fishes blood has to be high enough to be effective. Would take awhile to that to occur, then you would want it there for at least 30 days. Longer would be better

So for those of you whom do medicate while in the QT process what do you use, how do you use it and why? Previously I only did a QT, however, I am looking to improve that process as I would like to add a few more fish to my tank this winter.
