Camallanus worms treated with Levamisole HCL

[mycag]

Okay so I couldn’t find a disease section so I put this here...

Two days ago I saw that my angel has Camallanus worms. He’s the only one showing any signs but I’m assuming everyone has it now, just in different stages.

Out of extreme stress from myself, I purchased metroplex and focus to bind to blood worms and fed that but I’ve been reading more and that apparently doesn’t help too much! (But I guess I could be a good medication to keep on hand)

From those who are experienced dealing with this and treating with Levamisole HCL, what brand do you use?? I’ve been seeing a lot of “prohibit” by Agrilabs but nowhere confirms that's what they use.

I’m ready to order today so I can get this 6-9 week treatment cycle started!

Hi. I purchased levamisole through Subaquaria.

Levamisole HCl Powder

It wasn't hard to treat them, but I think my tank crashed after, and that was not fun to deal with. When I treated I had corydoras, guppies, cherry shrimp, tons of bladder snails, a nerite snail and an assassin snail. The nerite and assassin snails died during treatment, the bladder snails were unaffected. The fish were fine.

I’ve not had to treat with it.
I’ve only used it prophetically on fish in quarantine and new fish in one of my display tanks. Never had a problem with cycle or fish.
I also used the Subaquaria product. But there was a thread quite a while ago about the recommended dosage increasing from an earlier purchase to a more recent purchase.
I noticed that also and disclaimer, I have not yet used the new batch at the increased dose.
I’ve also used Levamisole flakes from Angels Plus. It’s called Dewormer 3.

Okay perfect! I have an angel (the one in my profile picture) and he’s the one showing Camallanus worms out of his...anal hole..? But I also have a pearl gourami, an albino BN pleco, 2 serape tetras, & 2 black phantom tetras (yes I’ll be adding more of each when my LFS gets more)

I’m assuming they all have it so I’ll be treating those along with all of my decor and such to get this think knocked out!

I’ll try the subaquaria. That’s what I’ve seen a lot of people use.
