Thanks buddy its just for well being of all the fish internal parasites and what not and I was referring to just the normal fluke solve so best is to dose in 8 days apart if treating for fluke?Are you thinking of Fluke-Solve or Fluke-Solve +? The former is just 50% praziquantel, and people have reported no ill effects with feather dusters and this (although that still worries me a bit). The latter has two other ingredients, and I don't know what reaction they will cause.
I'm not sure why you would dose this on an annual basis though. It is best to dose twice, 8 days apart at 2.2 ppm praziquantel activity in order to try and catch any unhatched fluke eggs left after the first dose. A yearly schedule would just allow those eggs to hatch and infect the fish, possibly growing to a severe infection again long before a year's time is up.

Twice I think. Sometimes, the life cycle of the flukes still isn’t broken, so some people do 3 treatments.thank you so much how many times should I dose fluke solve in your opinion thanks
Do you recommend a water change if so how much percentage wise and when after the treatment thanks againTwice I think. Sometimes, the life cycle of the flukes still isn’t broken, so some people do 3 treatments.

@Jay Hemdal
thank you so much for your helpTypically, people change 25% of the water prior to the second or third treatments. This is not to remove excess medication (as that gets broken down by bacteria) but rather, to remove excess nutrients produced by the bacteria.
