It may kill any worms or featherdusters u have in there.

Also could get expensive to dose a big tank.

thank you

Prazi will kill inverts... I'd recommend getting the fish out to treat them. Depending on why you're treating with Prazi, I'd also leave your reef fishless for 4-6 weeks...

what do you think about metronidazole in a reef?

What are you fighting?

castroantonio · 03/23/2009, 11:10 PM

I dont know the fish is scratching, but he doesnÂ´t anything.. maybe flukes. or something like that..

Fish can scratch for many reasons, flukes or ich just to name a couple and they are treated differently. Need to properly diagnose to know what is appropriate treatment and none are really suitable in the main tank.

+1 if you dont properly diagnose what your fighting you will never win the fight!!!
do you have any pic's or a discription of what it is or is the only sign scratching, have you tested your water i know when nitrates get up over 100ppm i have seen fish do this, and what kind of fish are we dealing with

the fish is a Sohal tang, he was in a cupramine for 3 weeks. and heÂ´s still scratching. he doesnt have ich, Im sure.
Im think could be flukes, he looks very clean.
no3 is 2.5ppm.
