will praziquantel harm snails in general, or mainly apple snails?
have rams, trumpets and briggs...
treating new goldies and a few other fish, how do tetras do with this med, and how about weather loaches, and kulies?
this is just precaution so far,..

I am not sure about Briggsi Dixienut but I know it killed my olive nerite. I know that nerites can be more sensitive so don't know if that is why or not hopefully someone else will chime in that has used it with their Briggs to add their 2 cents.
Oh it didn't hurt my cherry shrimp at all used it in my shrimp tank no fish or other snails.

Never had a problem with prazi killing anything I didn't want it to. I've used it in reef aquaria with no harm to snails, crabs, or corals.
