When treating with Prazi, you want to kill all parasite (except your bb) in the system. Anyway, Prazi will deactivate in water after a few days so not to worry. When I do Prazi in QT tank without filter, just air stone, this is my method for known infectation, extreme kiasu method, haha.
Day 0 = add Prazi
Day 2 = 100% WC, add Prazi
Day 4 = 100% WC, DO NOT ADD PRAZI for two days
Day 6 = 100% WC, add Prazi
Day 8 = 100% WC, add Prazi
Day 10 = 100% Wc, do not add Prazi

Day 10 = 100% Wc, do not add Prazi
So the Prazi will dissolve in the water?
Cos i see the Prazi Gold, it is liquid with alot of the Prazi residues.
So i thought the treatment is for the fish to eat the Prazi residues to treat them.

And how come you use this method?
Add, Add, Do not Add, Add, Add, Do not Add.
Is it not to let the fish immune to Prazi?

I use Prazi tablets, even more white dust. It's not intended for eating but when fish do eat it, it's harmless.

Like I said b4 extreme kiasu method to make sure no parasites can survive. I learnt that from my South American forum friends. They confirmed this method by clinical tests, so I think it should be ok.
Only when using antibiotics you have to complete whole course of medicine otherwise you can create resistant strains.

First 4 days of treatment is very important for fish survival (normal this is more than enough for preventive treatment ) for any treatment, then allow to rest 2 days and kiasu do 2 more days just in case..It's every 2 days do 100% w/c. The 8th day onwards is for treatment of new egg hatching.

Wow Sifu, You are really pampering your GFs.

I only feed once to twice/day 5 days a week. The other 2 days for them to detox

My W/C regime is every alternate day or max every 2 days 50% w/c. Example Monday change water, either Wed or latest Thursday will change 50%. Daily also suck out the poos and top up water. Very siong......

I also employ periodic de-worming of my GF even tho I don't feed live food anymore. This is up-keep the internal of GF. Something I learn from experience because of the heavy feeding regime.

But in overall, this is what I do. It applied to me but may not for others. They are many ways to groom a GF. Above are just some of my sharings

Cheers
Hi Mediacraze Sifu, can explain what is meant by de-worming

No need liao. Managed to read thru the past postings to learn that de-worming come from feeding the gf with live food. So if one do not feed the gf with live food so the chances of it having "worms" inside its intestines should be low right?

How big are your GFs?
For maintenance wise, 1-2/day is fine.
If want to grow big, feedings is on the low side.
