BN Friendly Parasite & Worming Treatment

Post by PlecFan »

Hi guys, been struggling with a fluke (I think) issue in two of my tanks. Both tanks house various bn's and plecos. I've been using kusuri but the problem is still apparent. I need to know of a good quick treatment that won't harm my bottom dwellers and that is available in Australia.

Any assistance is urgently appreciated!

Thank you

Hi all,
Can you get "Fenbendazole"? In the UK it is sold as "Panacur" for treating dogs, sheep etc.

This thread on an Aussie site might help re finding something http://www.aquariumlife.com.au/showthre ... ole-Powder

They also mention two meds I can get and do have here in the states, Levamisole HCL and Flubendazole. These are very effective.
