In reply to Cayden …… probably enters their bodies as they glide over the substrate.

You said Fenbendazole or Praziquantel can be used to treat planaria. Both of those are insoluble in water. So how do they kill planaria? Do planaria eat the powder, or does it enter their bodies when they glide over it on the substrate?

Thanks in advance.

Just want to make sure that the use of Praziquantel is safe to use in a tank with neocaridina shrimps and trumpet snails?

Question on the “dosages for fenbendazole and praziquantel” chart above, in this chapter. (10.13.3 Planaria) I’d just like to double-check that the “grams per 10 gallons product” dosage for fenbedazole (Panacur C) is correct at “0.68 grams” as shown. What gives me pause is this: If the “cost per gram of product” is $2, and we’re using less than 1 gram of the product, how can the “cost to treat 10 gallons” be $6.12? My apologies in advance if I’ve missed something.
Thanks, Mark B
