Have a small 2" GSP, and have acquired some Praziquantel powder from a friend and was told it rids fish of IP's.
Cam I treat my fish with this?It's out of a commercial 250g jar.If so, how much to dizolve to either inject or soak?

I have tiny spoons in the Salifert test kits I use for this. They are about 1/2 of 1/16th tsp. Soak the food in it for at least 2 hours. You might want to add garlic to enhance the flavor.

Ah, ok...in my minds eye I envisioned coating a chunk of octopus it usually fully consumes to slight visual satiation.Then, letting that coating soak for a good while.The instructions on the package say 1/4 tsp per 100g of food, so this is right in tune with what I pictured.This guy cave me a full corner of a bag you take fish home in.Pretty much gave me an 8ball. IP meds for MANY specimens.Good to have friends in aquatic places.
Also, length of this treatment?
Thank You PP.

LOL, I don't think many here would be able to concur with your take on measurement.
