Fenbendazole (Panacur-C)
It's a horse/animal de-wormer. I have used it in my CRS tanks and also in my L183 starlight BN breeding tank which at one time of dosing had 1 week old fry in the tank. So I woud say its about as safe as it gets.
A member over at The planted tank (which I am a member of) has an online store and sells it.
Here is a link to his site and the page that its sold on.

Liam has great customer service and im sure that your fenben will be arriving soon. He can also help you with dosing though I believe is you paid the extra $1 for the dosing syringe you have everything you need including pretty easy to follow directions. ;)

We use a small length of copper pipe, works better than anything else.
Just keep an eye on your fish and it can take anything from 24 to 48 hours to work.
