Looks like one ofy tanks has callamanus worms. Looking to get levamisole. Tomorrow im gonna call some vets but incase i cant find any i found this link

this HTML class. Value is http://subquaria.com

The dosing says 10 grams per 150 gal but i thought it was 1 gram per 100 gals

Is this correct anyone know where i can get levamisole ?

As far as the tank goes it looks like its just one fish im going to move him to qt tomorrow and treat both tanks. Im thinking i should remove all the sand and leave the main tank bare bottom until i get this sorted out.

Any help would be much appreciated. The main tank has the following pearsei, dehelzi birchir, L200 pleco, spotted raph cat, small group of tiger barbs, and a vieja heterospilus who is gonna beoved to qt

With discus we treat up to 5g per 100g all you need to do is add the Levamisole and leave it in your tank for 48 hours. The medication stays in the water until you remove it with water changes, carbon, a diatom filter or combination of these methods. At the end of 48 hours, change out 90 percent of the water and vacuum the substrate as well as possible. Wipe down all walls and lids to remove dead worms and eggs/cysts. The palnaria and camallanus worms will try to crawl up the walls to the lid when dying, so be sure to take the lid apart and clean well.
Repeat procedure in 7 days as the life cycle of eggs/cysts that you may have missed in the first treatment will hatch at this time.
in the Midwest we can find it in the big farm stores like FLEET FARM but not sure where you'll find it in NYC besides your local Vet.

If you get is from subaquaria, I would use the dosing from loachesonline

You can also get it from this guy who sells levimasole HCL (the HCL is important for water solubility) BUT, use the dosing from loaches online. He will ask you for your tank size, and send you the amount based on his treatment regime, which is considerably a much higher dosage than RD. recommends (loaches online)

Never used the fenbendazole only because levamisole is avaialble for purchase locally here. Herd of great results from fen. But not from experience. I would go for the one you can get your hands on the quickest! .
