Camallanus- HELP!

Praziquental is an effective killer of these worms, but the problem is that it does not eject the worms from the digestive tract. As a result, I lost a good few fish to these worms because the dead worms rotted away inside the fish.

I later learned that the Levamisole is used to eject the worms as it paralyses them, and then the Prazi is used to irradicate them. Three treatments of the Prazi are recommended on Day 1 5 and 9 if I remember correctly? Can't remember the dosage right now? The Prof gave me the dosage.

Keep an eye on the Ram and any other fish that shared tanks with it, and look for any signs that they are coming back? If they do, then try and get hold of the Prazi and treat with Levamisole first, and once the worms have come out, treat with Prazi!

G!

 

Thanks G!

Will do. I am just glad my Ram is back to his old self at this stage, but will keep a close eye.
