My starry blenny has traditionally been a champ eater of whatever I feed the rest of the tank... but I’ve watched him slowly waste away despite eating and behaving normally. Parameters are good, no other fish affected.. thinking internal parasites and would like to try treating with prazipro. My research says adding it to the tank (I have the liquid only) isn’t as effective as feeding the powder, but I can’t find anything that specifically talks about mixing The liquid into the food (I’d target feed him as much as possible). Any experience? Advice? No quarantine set up, and I’d like to keep him in the tank where he’s least stressed. He’s a great character whom I’d hate to lose.

You could try dropping the prazipro onto the food and let it absorb and dry out for a day. Once the liquid is absorbed and dried out, it won't just fly off the food once it hits the water. You would have to spot feed and make sure enough of it gets in his gut.

Thanks Phish. I wonder if I’ll be able to find that locally. If not, I may try the liquid and isolate him to feed. I just don’t want to overdose him. Would kind of defeat the purpose. 😉

I would think it would be hard to overdose a fish on prazi... it's relatively safe. Not saying it's impossible but I imagine the dosage would have to be really high.
