May a few rounds of PP treatments be used in lieu of Proform C?

Tricho will be killed the best with potassium permanganate 2 grams per 1000liters
The water will turn purple and must stay that for 5hrs. If it turns brown earlier redose with half the dose.

After 5 hrs you decolourise the water with hydrogen peroxide
If something goes wrong you can neutralize the Potassium permanganate with natriumthiosulfate

I hope it is allowed for me to ask here.
What is the life cycle of skin flukes?
Should i do medication 2-3 times a week, and is changing water between each medication a must?

Thank you.

What's your water temp? Warmer water shortens the cycle. Skin flukes are live bearers. Get the adult, get the baby. What medication are you using? Prazi can stay in the water.
