I find that liquid praziquantel under the brand named Prazipro is easier to administer than the powdered forms. Specifically to your question, I am not familiar with that brand. Suggest you do a Google search for it to see if any feedback is out there.

Looking for a good sourced praziquantel, have you heard of these two companies or know if its any good?


@Jay Hemdal @vetteguy53081


Ive heard of Koi farms and this has similar ingredients to praziquantel but I have not seen data/feedback for marine use. These powdered mixes are not easily soluble to liquid and must be mixed well before application, reason Hikari adds glycol. You can add vodka to help dissolve for mix

I’ve ordered bulk prazi from Fishman Chemical, but it’s been a few years.

Prazipro is pretty good, but can get expensive. The glycol solvent adds extra nutrients.
Beware using ethanol as a solvent - Ive killed fish doing that, it serves as a carbon source for heterotrophic bacteria and those strip the oxygen out pretty fast. If you try that, use the absolute least amount as you can, with strong aeration.
I disperse powdered prazi through a fine mesh baby brine shrimp net, wearing gloves, I mush it through the net with tank water.
