Battling With Camallanus Worms, Need Advice

How much would I put in the bath? I would only have to bathe one of my fish, the others are all eating fine. And thank you for the reply

1 tablespoon epsom salt/gallon of water. Mix thoroughly till epsom salt dissolved. Put in small container bigger than fish. Keep water temp as close to tank water as possible. Let the fish soak in bath 10 minutes 3-4 times/day.

I second that gypsy, levimasole is the best, but also I know some top ifga breeders who would use ivermectin "stromectol" .

I’ve used ivermectin for everything from cattle to cats. But, as with all things, you need to know the correct dosage conversion for the type critter you’re treating. You also need to know the tolerances of that specific critter. One other caveat in case the
OP or other readers are tempted into ivermectin, it has a high rate of sterilization of said critters. Another reason dosage is so important. Thank you Whitewolf. Options are always welcome.

 

Its good to keep levimasole flake on hand, and feed fish it anytime you get a lot of new fish, or they show symptoms of stringy poo.
My powder lev. got wet and spoiled.

 

I’m doing the water change & gravel vac to get the medication out of the water today. I haven’t found my Epsom Salt yet so I’ve been feeding them normally, but will be doing baths and feeding with the soaked food. Any tips or suggestions will be helpful, all the fish seem to be doing the same as before the treatment.

 

Just keep an eye on their poop and see if the worms come out too.

 

New pics?

Yes, here are some pics! the worms on my female guppy are very hard to see, but she is acting way better than before the medication. They are eating peas in these pics.

I’ll post the next time I put a dose of medication in, which should be around 2 weeks from now.
