I think everyone who uses "prazi" and "wormed" in the same sentence needs to be automatically redirected here. Excellent link Merrilyn, I've read most of the information in fragments, but this guy has put everything on one page. I hope people take the time to read it, pretty much covers everything.
Here's a link to the IFAS site. It has heaps of very useful information.

it is true it is a good read and we can learn a lot from things like this .thanks mezz
That is a good read Merrilyn....answered a lot of my questions about treatment with Big L....I plan to dose the tank in the near future :)
Great article! Just be careful about the liquid bird worming syrup "add to tank" suggestion in there - if it contains sweet syrup, it can (will?) cause a bacterial bloom. (I had a very bad experience with this.)
Where would you get Mebendazole in Australia. Is it a prescription drug, or available over the counter or on-line?
Thanks
you'll have to see a vet mate. it will cost you BIG!!!
Oh, ok, that's for that. I guess I'll stick with the Big L. I've had no problem with it so far (fingers crossed).Quote:

there was a couple of commercial preparations marketed in america, one a combination with something else, reported to be toxic to goldfish i beleive, the other i think a simple proprietary aquarium formulation
