Hello,
My sister’s fiancé’s sister moved, and “gifted” me some fish a couple months ago. I noticed some camellanus worms hanging out of one, so I bought levamisole hcl (Prohibit brand). Below is a screenshot of recommended dosage per usual aquarium volume.
I’d read about a fair deal of bad experiences people had with an “aquarium” specific one, that claimed to be more potent than “other” levamisole, and cut to “99.9% pure”. Below is their recommended dosages for their “purer” product. It seems odd to me that it would be 3x higher than Prohibit...
Any advise would be helpful. I’m going to treat all of my tanks in case I contaminated them moving stuff around.
20gal, 75gal, 150gal, 180gal (currently fishless, but has plants from the confirmed infected tank).
I want to get the dosing correct, but those are two very conflicting dosing recommendations.
there are snails in two tanks. Should I leave the snails in during treatment or take them out? I’m assuming they probably need to be treated as well, though.
read conflicting information in regards to snail/shrimp safety as well.
3 of the tanks are outside, so I’m also assuming I’ll have to put sheets or something over them since the medication requires it to be dark.
thank yoooou ?
