Re: apisto with intestinal worms

["Simon" <svavev@hunterlink.net.au>]

Thanks - I will go get some tomorrow - I'm in Australia and getting it
should not be a problem given that it is a cattle drug initially. Question I
have now is how will  the bristlenose, whiptails, and otocinclus be affected
by the levamisole hydrochloride. I have had bad experiences with
trichlorphon and these fish when treating a fluke infestation once. I know I
should consider that all fish are going to die anyway so treat it and what
have you got to lose - but my bristlenose are breeding, my sturisoma whips
are breeding and I know they are sensitive to most chemicals. Another
question - do you think it is possible for me to have infected all my tanks
with the nematode by using the same net ?

Regards,

Simon Voorwinde
