RE: [GSAS-Member] Camallanus cotti



I've successfully treated for this in the past with killies and chiclets. The over-the-counter product I've used is Aquarium Pharm. "Discomed". Mix it with some yummy live foods - I've used blackworms (which sometimes are sold as "tubifex" out here). Put the worms in some water that has the discomed dissolved in it and feed 2x a day for two weeks. Within a day or two, the worms will appear to be gone but continue the treatment for the full two weeks. Fish treated this way generally recover and it's better to just feed medicine to food rather than dose the whole tank.

Also, last I looked Discomed and other Aq. pharm. products had expiration dates on them, somewhat unusual (obligate slam at the aq. products industry) for stuff sold to fish hobbyists

Good luck - my cichliets bred fine after this as did the killies.

Help. My killifish has this totally gross worms hanging out of her butt. I
have Praziquantel, which I am mixing in with the food, since the do want to
eat, and put a copper-based medication in the water. Does anyone know where
I can find Levimisole Hydrochloride? I'm sure the other killies have it too.
God, I hope I don't have it, after starting the siphon a few times!!!
