joller Posted December 12, 2015 Report Share Posted December 12, 2015 Hi my fish are infected with camallanus worms i managed to pull one out of a heavily infested fish with tweezers. about 5mm long thing red worm I've been dosing kasuri wormer plus. which is flubendazole based. but the worm i just pulled out of this fish is still very much alive after 2 doses 4 days apart. i've been reading sites with conflicting information so any help from someone who has dealt with this before is very much appreciated. Thanks, Joel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lictoga Posted December 12, 2015 Report Share Posted December 12, 2015 Try panacur 25. It's a sheep deworm, can get it from produce stores for around $50/L. 1ml treats 40L Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smicko Posted December 12, 2015 Report Share Posted December 12, 2015 I have used panacur and big L in combination to wipe them out. Panacur 25 @1ml per 40 litres Big L @1ml per 7 litres I dosed twice in a week then done a big gravel vac and waterchange. Panacur comes I'm different strengths so if you don't get 25 adjust the dose to suit. Cheers mick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lollies Posted December 12, 2015 Report Share Posted December 12, 2015 Kusuri flubendazole wont kill worms immediately, they act via starving the worms in a few weeks time. For servere infection you can use what mention above pancur or big L. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joller Posted December 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2015 I will use all the things! I want these worms gone!!!!! I can't efficiently gravel vac my tank it's too big. Do the above meds kill or only paralise? I'm Know levamisole just paralises apparently Thanks for the advice much appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joller Posted December 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2015 can anyone recommend an online supplier of both? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donny@ageofaquariums Posted December 13, 2015 Report Share Posted December 13, 2015 I find bigL gets the job done with no problem. Not sure why people think it just stuns them as that has never been my experience. Maybe different species/strains of the worm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustAddWater Posted December 13, 2015 Report Share Posted December 13, 2015 Beenleigh farm supplies Has about 40 bottles of the stuff 500ml and 1L bottles Around $29 500ml should be enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joller Posted December 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2015 i found a product called "vetsence killverm pig and poultry wormer" has the same amount of active ingredient and cost only $20 at the local produce store. they also have panacur 25 but thats $50 so im just gonna use levimisole and kasuri combo and see how it goes.

jc12 Posted December 14, 2015 Report Share Posted December 14, 2015 Some people use Avitrol Plus bird wormer in tablet form with good results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pineapples Posted January 26, 2016 Report Share Posted January 26, 2016 Any update on what worked? I just noticed one of my gobies has them. And from what I've read you basically need to clean everything and then start again which would mean recycling the tank is that correct?

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk The meds above work. As to striping and re starting the tank not true. Just follow the instructions and you should be fine.

Pineapples Posted January 26, 2016 Report Share Posted January 26, 2016 https://vimeo.com/153053108 Mainly from what I've read online reddish pink worm also that the fish looks skinny even though it's eating just fine. Let me know if you think otherwise. Being Australia Day there's not much I can do today anyway I was going to grab some Epsom salts and see if that helped the fish pass the worms.

Pineapples Posted January 26, 2016 Report Share Posted January 26, 2016 So what is it? What worm should I be looking to treat? And will the big L or panacure fix whatever my fish has? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joller Posted January 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2016 Pineapples from the pics it looks like the same worms my fish had. I did water change then dosed kasuri and big L. Repeated after 4 days, and then again after another 4 days. With50% wc's .All visible signs of worms disappeared. The fish that were worst effected have fattened up again so I'm treating that as a win Got the kasuri wormer plus from http://livingreefaquariums.com.au Also the big l from a produce and horse shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pineapples Posted January 26, 2016 Report Share Posted January 26, 2016 Ok great I'll try that I ordered Some big L online and it should be here Friday only problem is I'm off overseas for a few weeks on Sunday so won't be able to dose so often until I get back so I hope everything's ok. Do worms affect eggs? As they are due to hatch any day now too. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
300Magnum Posted January 26, 2016 Report Share Posted January 26, 2016 Hi all.....just to clarify, does Panacur etc also treat other internal parasites that cause sunken belly, white stringy poo etc, or is it only for worms? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spongebob Posted January 26, 2016 Report Share Posted January 26, 2016 (edited) Sorry- forgot to mention- do not get the camel anus mixed up with the camel toe, this is a completely another subject altogether and needs extreme care to the point of getting advise from psychologist before even going near that area, very dangerous indeed,you have been warned unheeded advise can lead to----- MARRIAGE !!!
