Message: [QUOTE="Lisak1, post: 414859, member: 6145"] I was worried too, [USER=11075]@zinjy[/USER] as I am not quick to medicate anything... myself included! But we really felt like we were just going to be watching fish die until they were all gone if we didn't try it. Most everything I read said the medication was safe for everything BUT the parasites, and we've seen no ill effects to the many frogs, birds, chipmunks, etc that visit our pond. Our little dog drinks from the pond daily - so I guess if she had worms, she doesn't anymore! When we added the praziquantel to the pond, we had significant foaming by morning. The foaming lasted for a full 7 days - mainly near the waterfall and aerator, where the water was being agitated. I took it as a good sign that the medication was still actively working. By day 8 the foaming was magically done. And like I said, we haven't lost a single fish since the two that were dead the next day. I held my breath every single morning - still do quite honestly - but our fish have returned to absolute normal. The first two or three days after treatment, they were ALL lethargic - just to warn you if you do treat your pond. We had stopped feeding them when we were still trying to figure out what was going on - we were concerned that maybe the food had been contaminated or had gone bad. But they were completely uninterested in us for those first few days of treatment. Normally when I walk up to the pond, they all rush to the side to greet me. It wasn't until about the fourth day or so that they started to perk up and start to look for food. It's so good to see them back to their usual constant movement, poking around everywhere, looking for delicious snacks! [/QUOTE]
