I can't find prazipro at my local petstore (I only have petco near me).
Is there a medication with the same ingredients that is more common?
it seems prazipro is a bit hard to find?
thanks!
medications that contain same ingredients as prazipro

Since this board has been up, we have found there are several questions that routinely get asked in order to help diagnose problems. If you can have that information to begin with in your post, we'll be able to help right away (if we can!) without having to wait for you to post the info we need.
1) Your water parameters - pH, Ammonia, Nitrite, Nitrates and salinity (if appropriate). This is by far the most important information you can provide! Do not answer this with "Fine" "Perfect" "ok", that tells us nothing. We need hard numbers.
2) Tank size and a list of ALL inhabitants. Include algae eaters, plecos, everything. We need to know what you have and how big the tank is.
3) Feeding, water change schedule and a list of all products you are using or have added to the tank (examples: Cycle, Amquel, salt, etc)
4) What changes you've made in the tank in the last week or so. Sometimes its the little things that make all the difference.
5) How long the aquarium has been set up, and how did you cycle it? If you don't know what cycling is read this: Fishless Cycling Article and familiarize yourself with all the information. Yes. All of it.
We want to help, and providing this information will go a LONG way to getting a diagnosis and hopeful cure that much faster.
While you wait for assistance:
One of the easiest and best ways to help your fish feel better is clean water! If you are already on a regular water change schedule (50% weekly is recommended) a good step to making your fish more comfortable while waiting for diagnosis/suggestions is to do a large water change immediately. Feel free to repeat daily or as often as you can, clean water is always a good thing! Use of Amquel or Prime as a dechlor may help with any ammonia or nitrite issues, and is highly recommended.
Note - if you do not normally do large water changes, doing a sudden, large water change could shock your fish by suddenly changing their established water chemistry. Clean water is still your first goal, so in this case, do several smaller (10%) water changes over the next day or two before starting any large ones.

Re: medications that contain same ingredients as prazipro
Thanks I saw that but I can't find those medications near me 
Metronidazole and Levamisole Hydrochloride - these two need to be used together?
I can't find petsmart or petco carrying Metronidazole
and the other one is harder to find
Praziquantel - I can't find Prazipro, Droncit, etc.
Is there a common medication that is carried by Petco or Petsmart I can pick up from in store?
Or are these things that need to be ordered online?
Thanks!

Re: medications that contain same ingredients as prazipro
The closest thing I found containing Praziquantel from petsmart/petco was one for dogs/cats
D-Worm Combo Broad Spectrum Dog De-Wormer
for $30
SENTRY® WORM X PLUS® Broad Spectrum Dog Dewormer
ProLabs Tape Worm Cat Tabs
$25
can these be used at all?

Have you done an online search? I pretty much buy everything either from Ebay or Amazon nowadays.

Re: medications that contain same ingredients as prazipro
Yep I saw it on amazon as well as other online vendors but I was trying to get one locally so I could use it right away (if I ordered on amazon, I would have to expedite the shipping and it comes out to $25). I am trying some local aquatic stores if I can't find one I guess I'll order it on amazon and get it Monday. One store knew what it was but didn't have it.
Thanks!

Re: medications that contain same ingredients as prazipro
I managed to find a prazipro locally for $16 for the 4oz solution (with tax it came out to over $18), it was at a reefs store. Although the associate that helped me didn't seem to know too much about green spotted puffers. He told me to put it in freshwater, and a 10g tank, when I mentioned I had 4 he said a 20 gallon tank. And he pointed to aquarium salt, I asked if it should be that one or Instant Ocean.
I'm going to soak bloodworms in it but what concentrate am I supposed to use for the soak solution? It says for a bath to use 1 tsp per 20 gallons - is that the concentration to aim for for the solution to soak the bloodworms in?
I read on another post to "salt" the food with medication but what does that mean - just add a couple of drops directly to the medication (and the concentration would be quite high).
I had started melafix - should I use both melafix *and* prazipro or just one of them (stop melafix and use prazipro instead or finish melafix and use prazipro)?
Thanks!

A couple of drops should do.
