Recommended Treatment For Skin Flukes

I was juat going to mention the Jungle parasite clear tablets.

Spartan says they work pretty good.
 
I know what you guys are talking about regarding the parasite tabs by Jungle. But it doesn't tell you how long to treat your tank. All it says is 1 tab per 10g. How long do you use this stuff before doing a water change and do you only use one dose?
 
Praziquantel is the main ingredient in parasite clear, here are instructions from the website.

Details: Wait 48 hours between treatments. Remove activated carbon. Change 25% of the water before each new treatment. For anchor worms, repeat treatment up to three times, once a week, for three weeks. For fish lice, treat once a week for three to five weeks. DO NOT OVERDOSE. Active ingredients: praziquantel; N-[[(N-Chlorophenyl)amino]carbon 1]-2,6-difluorobenzamide; metronidazole; acriflavine.

I've only used it once to actually treat for body flukes, i put 1/2 dose (sensitive fish) in a 20g tank, so i put in 1 tablet in. The flukes were gone by the end of the day. I treated again following the instructions (water changes, 48 hour wait).

During quarantine, i use it also at half dose as a precautionary for parasites, visible or not.
 
Thanks Spartan, I am able to buy those here so I'll get some and try that. What do you consider sensative fish? I have some otos, corys and a pleco in with others. Do you consider any of those to be sensative?
