We recommend using Paracleanse to treat internal tapeworms, a problem that nearly all freshwater fish have when purchasing from a pet store. We use this on every fish we receive in our store and in my personal fish room. It has proven to be safe for even scaleless fish, snails, shrimp, fish fry, and plants. We recommend using an airstone in the aquarium when treating with Paracleanse. Commonly used to treat:— Gill and skin flukes (Gyrodactylus)— Swollen abdomen— Wasting disease— "Hole in the head" disease— Internal tapeworms Active Ingredients: Each packet contains 250 mg metronidazole and 75 mg praziquantel.— Each packet treats 10 gallons. 10 Pack treats 100 Gallons of water, 20 pack treats 200 gallons of water.— Bulk Jar treats 1,000 gallons. Dosing spoon included in jar. 1 scoop treats 10 gallons. For best results, we recommend removing chemical filtration from your aquarium filter before dosing the medication.
