    Avitrol + as a Discus Wormer?

    I have at the moment 4 not well discus they are showing all the signs of internal parasite infection , dark color no apatite flicking and shimmying
    white glue like poo etc , I have been treating them with A waterlife product Sterazin , over 10 days also they have had praziquantal as well although the fish are a little bit more lively they still seem to be infected.
    also this morning I noticed they seem to have gill fluke again breathing out of one side of their gills I have discovered a product called Avitrol Plus bird wormer syrup it contains levamiosol 10mg/ml + Prasiquantel 2mg/ml, has any one heard of this product or has any one used it? it would seem to be a good worm and fluke remover looking forward to hearing from some of our more experienced members cheers

    Hey guys just thought i would throw some info up regarding this,, I have bought some of this in tablet form and i after reading this i thought i would do some research, i called the manufacturer and they said that in the tablet form there are no sweeteners or sugar based ingredients. i haven't confirmed a dosage rate yet but if anyone could calculate it that would be awesome.

    the tabs contain 16.9 mg levi
    and 4mg prazi
    THE DISCUS DISEASE SYMPTOMS SEEM TO BE SITTING IN FRONT OF TANK FOR HRS ON END!!!

    REALLY WEIRD FOR AN ADDRENALIN JUNKY!!!
