>I'm thinking of going the pharma route now. Just wondering how much the full course of drugs will cost.
Praziquantel for pond koi off of ebay [for Tapeworms and flukes] is about $70 for 50grams, enough to last.
I got much relief from that, but it didn't seem to get the roundworms. I have Albendazole on order for that. I went off the herbs mostly, as it only gets one so far for getting the big ones, and the herbs sure help prolong scattering.

Yep. seems to often just 'piss them off'. I even had Miracle-Mineral-Supplement stir them up and re scatter (at 5 drops).
