Question
I have multis and I think they all need a fluke treatment.  I have prazi and would like to treat them. is it safe to use on ciclids? Is the dose the same as for goldies?

Answer
Hi Rachel,
 Unfortunately, I don't know what your short forms mean...
"multis" could be all sorts of cichlids (there are many cichlids with "multi" in the name".  Same with "prazi" and "goldies".  

 Why do you think they need a fluke treatment?  Gill flukes are not particularly common.  Are these wild fish that you recently imported?
