Praziquantel in reef tank for Narvachus

[beuchat]

I have a narvachus angel with flukes in one fin and side of the body. I have been reading and decided to use praziquantel. I got the medication from Bayer tablets called Droncit (used for cats and dogs).

One tablet has 50 mg of praziquantel. I wonder how much should I use in the food or in the water in order to treat the fish. I read in RC that it is very dangerous to mix with food but it is safe in the water (except for featherdusters and christmas tree worms)

Any ideas about dosis in the water and how long the treatment. I can not get prazipro here in Spain.

Kind regards.

Check information about praziquantel on this site: http://www.nationalfishpharm.com. According to their posted information 25 grams will treat 2,377 gallons of water. They also have a number to call for consultation.

Also I'm not sure how soluble the dog tablets are in saltwater.

I read you can mix them mi ethanol (vodka) before mixing with water. They are very soluble in ethanol

thanks
