Praziquantel+Corydoras

[Doodles]

Does anyone know whether Praziquantel can cause toxicity in corydoras?

Just something I read recently.

Not something I've heard of but I'll try to look into it.

Ok thank you.

I've treated corys with Prazi without a problem. There can be a reaction though & they're behavior might change a bit but it hasn't led to any deaths.

I haven't found any info about Praziquantel being harmful to corys, I found this quote on one site

What it's good at: Because it's gentle, Praziquantel is, and
always has been, the "treatment of choice" for Flukes
(trematodes) in fish. Praziquantel does not require water
changes, praziquantel is harmless to fish of *all* species
including Discus, Koi and goldfish fry, and is non toxic to
plants, and; (unlike Formalin), praziquantel has no negative
filter impact.

Also some info in this link
