Camallanus treatment

Pterophyllum wrote:I've no experience with the Sera treatment, from time to time retreating with wormers is necessary as it's very hard to prevent reinfection. Redosing a couple of weeks after the initial treatment can be a good plan. Sometimes it's worth trying different products when one doesn't seem to work, but check ingredients as often different products have the same active ingredient, and do a few water changes & use carbon before switching from one to another.

I still use it but I am now combining it with Deworming Flake III with Levamisole.  It is a flaked fish food. I was having problems getting them to eat it.  Now I use Seachems GarlicGuard to soak the flake in first and then feed it to the fish.

I don't know if it is fully successful. I have only just started feeding all my fish. But the person who suggested this method said it worked for him.

Hope this helps....

    Well, I had to move my parent angels out of the 20 gallon. I was feeding them frozen bloodworm and frozen brine shrimp along with soaking the food in the Seachem GarlicGuard.  The strange thing happened; they started to expel the worms!  No other medication was in the tank or in their food.

I am having a hard time believing guarlic could do this. But anyway, My parent angels where doing very well with the babies but I just couldn't keep up with the worm removal. I didn't want the fry eating the parasite!. I added the Kusuri Wormer Plus, but it was working so slowly and I need to add a second dose! Three days into the second dose I still can see a worm here or there! Uggggh!

The Parent Angelfish are now in my 55 gallon with a partition between them. I added Kusuri Wormer Plus and am feeding them the Deworming Flake III fish food with Levamisole. Yah, the flakes are blue!  I soaked them in the GuarlicGuard first and held my breath...

And they ate some...spit it out, in, out.  And then they kept in! They didn't eat a lot, but they ate it!  They are only getting fed once at night. I am going to do it three days in a row, as the first day I don't think they ate enough, so I am extending it.

I am now hopeful I can finally end this worm madness!

I would love to know if JBL Nedol Plus works for you too!  Because I have to do this two more times, at least 2 weeks apart.....  

Good Luck!    Filterfish
