prazi

[Flipper 13,057]

So, A ryukin (Flipper) that I bought from LFS in december continues to flash. She is my first GF, but I've had many other types of fish and tanks. I want to treat with prazi. I've been treating with 3% salt for one week. I bought powder prazi on amazon. It states that dosage is 10gr/1000gal. My tank is 29gal. I have a small pocket scale.

I know this is basic math, but if I mess it up I'll kill my fish. Will somebody tell me the correct dosage, please.

Its powder. No, not prazipro. I'm utterly computer challenged. I will try to paste a link. Thanks for looking.

Do you mean 0.3% salt?

Here is the math:

10 grams = 1000 gallons -----> 1 gram = 100 gallons ----> 0.29 grams = 29 gallons.

Since Prazi has a very generous safe curve, go ahead and use 0.5 grams to treat each time.

Thanks so much! You are a gem and a good teacher too. And yes...0.3% salt is was i was supposed to write.

Thanks! What kind of gem? Can it be something somewhat expensive?

Good luck with the treatment!

HMMM! I'm gonna say aquamarrine. Seems appropriate...does it not. Its also my birthstone. Its not one of the more fancy and expensive ones though. Sorry about that.

It's OK. I don't think I want to be fancy.

Aquamarine is a great choice! LOL
