Checking flow for Prazi

[doubleshot00]

My firefish thats been in qt for copper is up today. I was advised to do 2 weeks of pravi after that but heard you need an air stone or a lot of surface agitation. How does this look? https://youtube.com/shorts/t5WodiU-6Ig?feature=share

You need strong aeration to break the surface tension of the water - that means bubbles. I see a lot of circulation here, but not much aeration.

Also, I don't know what treating with prazi for two weeks means. It degrades pretty quickly, it doesn't remain active for two weeks. What you need to do is dose it once, and then, 8 or 9 days later, do a 25% water change and dose it again. If you are using Prazipro, it is pretty simple. If you are using powdered praziquantel, you need to disperse it into the water through a fine meshed net.

Yes you are right. Just in text wrote 2 weeks of pazi. But will be following the directions on the prazipro bottle and your advice from another post.

Ill get an air stone from Walmart.
