Hikari Prazipro Parasite Treatment 4oz

Product details

Hikari Prazipro Parasite Treatment 4oz (73254) is a ready-to-use liquid concentrate designed to control unwanted parasites in pond, freshwater, or marine aquariums. It’s used to treat praziquantel-susceptible conditions associated with parasites such as flukes and other flatworm-type organisms, helping hobbyists address infestations when parasites are noticed or introduction is probable.

Features:

• Ready-to-use liquid concentrate for hobbyist dosing
• Developed to provide effective parasite control without negatively impacting biological filtration
• Targets parasites that are susceptible to praziquantel, including flukes, tapeworms, flatworms, and turbellarians
• Can be used as a preventative when disease is likely
• Formulated as a homogeneous, water-soluble liquid
• Compatible with most aquarium setups when basic treatment steps are followed (see skimming/carbon/UV notes)
• Retreats may be needed because many parasite life cycles can last up to 28 days
• In marine systems, note extra compatibility considerations for specific worm culture/keeping situations
