How do rubbernose plecos handle Metro and Prazi

First, why do you want to treat him for parasites? Neither of those products are going to be particularly stressful in themselves, but Metronidazole is distinctly less effective at temperatures below 85 degrees and your rubber nose pleco is definitely not going to see much humor in temps even over 80 degrees. What are you treating for, exactly?

Well this guy is being treated for parasites now because he is going into my Discus tank (actually it is a she). This is just a standard quarantine. Metro definitely can be used with great effectiveness under 80 but parasites have a harder time surviving at higher temps. Right now she has been slowly brought up to 80 and I'm planning on taking her up to 84. Everything I have read says Rubberlips can handle temps around 80.
