Re: levamisole

["jaemes2" <jaemes2@dsl-only.net>]

I have tried levamisole with mixed results. from what I gather you should
use one sheep pill (two sheep pills are probally equal to one horse pill)
for every 10 gallons, so probally a 1/4 of what you currently have. I
dissolved it in a shot glass and then fed it into the intake of my filter
(magnum 350). you will want to keep the rest and retreat the infected fish
every couple of weeks. I did a large water changes after around 3 to 5 days
after each treatment. For those that are interested you can also order
levamisole in liquid form online at american livestock supply.

hope this helps
