This is probably a brit query, as I think we have very different meds to those in the US.
I've got a dwarf gourami in a tank with yoyos and pangios, which I think probably has gill flukes or possibly another kind of parasite. I bought Sterazin, as I've heard good things about Waterlife from both Martin & Emma. It's got a list of fish which don't tolerate it, loaches aren't included. I want to treat the tank rather than the fish, so am I ok to use the full dosage?
thanks for any help,
sterazin & loaches - Graeme? Emma? Martin?

Hi Sophie!
In the past we have used Sterazin in tanks that contained Botia without any problems, but do not have any experience in using it with Pangio sp.
Having said this, I would still advise caution when using this treatment with any kind of loach, your best bet probably being adding half the recommended dose every 12 hours (so in 24 hours you will have used one full dose in total).
I know Graeme keeps several Pangio species, so he might be able to advise further on this.
