    Nilverm

    I had a worm infestation about 2 years ago, where mainly my mollies had short red threads protruding from the anus. After researching the net I found reference to Nilverm (pig and poultry wormer) but with many different dosages. I ended up going with 20 ml in my 120 litre tank, with the intention to repeat dose about a month later to catch any eggs etc that may not have been effected by the initial dose. However I found it unnecessary to repeat dose as no further sign of worms has been evident.

    Perhaps regular dosing isn't such a bad thing however. My theory however is if you don't introduce any worm carrying substances / life-forms into the aquarium, then you shouldn't have too many problems.

    I use both Levamisole and Praziquantel in my planted tanks with bristlenoses and they are always fine, bristlenoses even passes a few tape worm segments after worming.

    Hi, am new to discus - don't actually have any yet, but their home had water added yesterday... so there is a fishy future in sight.

    Anyway, I assume these meds (Levamisole HCl and praziquantal) kill off the worms and larvae, and then you just vacuum them out when you go to do a water change later on?

    Also, once my new fishy friends move in, should I treat them pretty much right away or should I give them a while to get used to the tank before throwing drugs at them?

    Cheers,

    J

    I was just wondering how Levisimole effects bristlenose catfish, Corydoras and Kuli loaches.

    Thanks
