Need recommendation for marine fish parasites

[acroboy]

I've collected a number of Caribbean fish here in New York that come up in the gulf stream and die here in the fall. We use these fish for education in the school system. Been doing this for the last 40 years.

These fish as well as the ones I catch in the sargassum weed off shore always carry parasites and some are prone to wasting even when eating heavily.

Can I use flubendazole for internal worms? If so does anyone know the dosage for marine aquariums?

Will prazipro do the same job? I hear different opinions with internal parasites and prazipro.

Thanks in advance

Do they have intestinal worms or internal flagellates? I use metronidazole to treat the latter, but fenbendazole for the former. Praziquantel is usually an adequate substitute for fenbendazole, and a fish medication called "API General Cure" actually contains prazi + metro. So, food soak that and you'll be treating both...

Not sure exactly what they have. Trying to treat prophylactically to cover my bases. I have general cure on hand as well as prazipro and flubendazole powder seperatly.

Does anyone know the dose for flubendazole in marine aquaria? I use it for discus but am unsure for marine environment.
