HikariUsa AHK73254 Prazipro for Aquarium, 4-Ounce

Helps keep parasites away

Works fast. Saved fish

I want to start by first saying the negative reviews for this product are complete crap. First, mine was clear when I got it... not pink. My fish were showing signs of flukes. Their behavior changed and even their coloration was off. My yellow tang was almost white and my trigger stay lodged in the rocks.. if he did come out he would dart around the tank... almost in a panic state. I followed the instructions... water change followed by skimmer off and any carbon out of the sump. I made sure my measurements were exactly as the bottle recommended. It took 3 of my measuring cups to treat the tank.. I have a powerhead on each side, so one dose on each side and the final in the sump. I kept the lights off and let it go. It's been one day and I can tell you that the fish are 100% acting normal. Their color is back, no more rubbing on the sand or head shaking. My coral is doing just fine. All crabs and shrimp are fine. I will probably wait another couple days then change the water and turn on the skimmer. If you've used this product and things in your tank are dying I am sorry to hear that. Either your fish were sick beyond saving or something went wrong. I can speak from my experience... worked for sure.. perhaps consider buying from BRS if you worry about a bad batch from amazon.

I bought this Prazipro when I noticed 2 of my Mollie fish were VERY skinny. I wasn't sure what was wrong with them. The fish were still eating and swimming around with the other fish but just kept losing weight. I thought maybe they had tapeworms so I ordered this Prazipro. I removed the carbon from my filter before treating the tank. I started with a 60% water change and added the first dose. I dosed for 7 days and then did another 60% water change. I waited 5 days and then repeated the whole process again for 7 more days to kill any eggs that might of hatched. The two fish started to look a little better. After about a month I couldn't even tell which two fish were the skinny ones. This treatment process didn't seem to bother my other fish at all. The tank is a 75 gallon with Mollies, Dwarf Gouramis, Giant Danios, Cory cats, and Penguin Tetras. All in a well established tank with a Fluval FX6 Canister filter that has been running for 2 years now.This Prazipro can be used in freshwater, marine tanks and in ponds. The bottle states it treats Flukes, Tapeworms, Flatworms and turbellarians. This makes Prazipro a great dewormer. My biological filter was not compromised at all from using this product for 2 back to back treatment periods. My ammonia and nitrite levels remained at 0ppm and my nitrate remained at 20ppm. I haven't needed to buy any new fish in a long time but when I do, I will be dosing the tank with this prazipro as a preventative. This product is a clear pink color and does not stain the tank or cause any color changes in the water. My aquarium remained clear throughout the process.

It works as advertised

I have to give this product 5 stars. I had a Discus feeling under the weather. I would do so many water changes and he would always be in the same corner tail up. I tried everything just to keep it chemical free but with no sucess. I brought the Prazipro to give it a try just because I didn't want to try others that make your whole tank water yellow. The next day of using the product the Discus that has been in this corner for 2 months was creeping out and started to eat. I was so amazed that I followed the directions after the first dose the next one would be in 7 days and I did this. Now my Discus that I thought was going to be a goner is up and about the tank eating with the rest of the Discus and finally getting back its color. To sum it up if you don't want to or you don't have a extra tank or you just don't want to go thru the trouble of getting your whole tank yellow because everything you have in your tank will turn yellow I would try this product first it worked for me. It's clear and stays clear and the good thing about this product is that you can use it as a preventive measure. Like I say in all my reviews shop amazon it will save you money than your LPS.

I mixed this with a little garlic juice and soaked frozen brine shrimp so not just the gills and skin was treated. I could see the fish expelling all the hanging white poop and after some mild discomfort returned to a happy tank. I treated my mollie tank and frys also with no fish loss.

I Had a fish that came with gill flukes, (rapid breathing flashing and no signs of any parasites is usually the sign. I immediately treated with prazi but for only 4 weeks and stopped when the fish looked good. Everything was fine for 4 months I didnt add any more fish to the tank or anything other than aqua cultured coral.The flukes came back and I had prazi on hand of course, it did nothing for 8 weeks I even dosed 2x the amount and that melted every coral in the tank and most of my snails.Granted I never lost a fish but things were not getting better. So please dose for at least 2 months before stopping or you will have to resort to other methods. I am using formalin now and that is doing the job nicely.
