Methylene blue Fluke

[Tokyoyankee]

Hi

My fish are in a hospital tank battling flukes. I've been using cupramine but it doesn't seem to work all that well. I've done a FW dip which helped a lot and plan to treat the hospital tank with methylene blue. Please any input or advice

PraziPro (praziquantel) is your best bet for flukes.

Yeah, PP is the standard for flukes. Very safe, be sure to use two doses as directed on the label.

I'm on the way to my LFS but I'm not sure if they have Prazipro. My hospital is currently dosed with methylene blue. Can I combine them together?

Not sure if there are contraindications for prazi with methylene blue. I'm surprised your LFS doesn't have some sort of praziquantel medication - it's pretty standard for deworming fish. I've never seen methylene blue used to treat flukes.

I live in Tokyo and unfortunely not everything in the hobby is available. I however was able to order some Prazipro from the states.
