Over the past several months, there have been several websites selling praziquantel at extremely low pricing. Some of the Prazi offered was of questionable quality. It seems that someone was importing many kilos of Prazi from Asia and selling it to anyone who wanted it. The buyers, in turn, were breaking it down into consumer sized packaging, and offering it for sale on the internet. This practice is against the law. If the FDA were to catch them, they would be heavily fined and most likely face jail time. The FDA requires that Prazi is handled & packaged by licensed professionals, with FDA scrutiny. That is one reason that Prazi pricing has traditionally been high. It is expensive to repack, IF it is done according to the rules.

I buy PraziPond Plus from AquaScience, a company who packs it to the letter of the law. This way I know that my customers are getting 99.9% pure praziquantel, enhanced with polymers to maximize the effectiveness of the product. This product is hands down the very best treatment for flukes and internal worms in your koi.

Recently, I have upgraded my purchasing methods and am able to buy it at a lower price. I am, in turn, passing the savings on to my customers.

Effective immediately, my pricing for PraziPond Plus is as follows:

• 10gm (treats 1,000 gallons) $25.99


• 50 gm (treats 5,000 gallons) $77.99


• 100 gm (treats 10,000 gallons) $149.99

You should keep some Prazi on hand to use in the event of a fluke infestation. It is also a good idea to dose new fish while in quanantine.
