Prazipro in QT on sensitive fish

I've got a pin tail wrasse, green mandarin, and 6 line (is separated by an acclimation box) in a 10g QT. Following TTM + prazipro on transfers 2 and 4.

I've read some people having problems with prazipro on these sensitive fish. Am I ok to dose PP with this group of fish? I paid a pretty penny for this pintail, really don't want to screw anything up because I didn't know better!

If I dose half the recommended amount, will it be effective at all? All 3 fish are doing fine, they were well conditioned at the LFS. No labored breathing, no visible symptoms, taking frozen food. (EDIT: mandarin belly is sunken in, but behaving normally. I've been hatching baby brine shrimp (with selcon + phyto) and he's been chowing down like it's going out of style)

Thanks for any recommendations!
 
I've lost Pintail and Rhomboid in QT with prazipro and hyposalinity. However, my diamond tail flasher wrasse did fine with prazipro with normal salinity (1.020).
 
Out of 4 wrasses dose with Prazi-Pro, haven't lost one yet. So Prazi-Pro may not always be the cause of death. I personally make sure they are eating before dosing as PP is known to suppress appetites.
