What To Do With Theese Fish

[kribensis12]

But , if the worm is exposed like that, should it kill it?

 

[Mikaila31]

No, I don't believe it is sensitive to copper. I've never heard of copper being used for internal parasites or even worms in general.

I have used Copper to Treat Anchor worms. It works. So, if i miss the worms when they are expelled, then what happens?

We used sera nemitol for our denisons barbs which had worms...were getting thinner and 2 died.The med worked well and they are plumping up again.Didn't affect our plecs or catfish at standard dose. We treated as suggested 3 weeks later to kill of any that had hatched after first dose. Unfortunately we removed our shrimps for the treatment...did whole tank and put them back after 1 month and they died so obvipusly contains copper(label didn't say it did).

Very glad we treated with it...our fish are back to looking picture of health and all our new fish we be dosed in quarantine.

What doseage did you use?

 

[kribensis12]

I have a solution. A lady is picking them up Friday at around 2:30. She is taking them home and treating them. She went today and bought the Levisole . Its in Liquid form though. Anyone know the dosage to use for it?

 

[Mikaila31]

Dosage depends on the concentration. So we would have to know how much medication was in the bottle and how much liquid as well. I've never heard of Levisole affecting shrimp. I may have to put that to the test with some cherry shrimp. I'm hoping to get some vampire shrimp and would hate to accidentally kill them in quarantine.

This is the product.

Thats the stuff you want. There should be no water in the bottle just Levisole HCL. Thats how I bought mine it was the exact same stuff. The bottle is just for mixing it w/ water then adding to livestock troughs. The bottle is more or less empty and just contains 20g of levisole. I put all of mine in a little glass jar. The dosage is the same .09g for 10gal. The link tolak had gave a method on how to dose if you don't have a scale.

 

[kribensis12]

Well, the lady said she went to that store to check it out and it was a liquid. Thats why im confused.

 

[Mikaila31]

It shouldn't be. It should be water soluble, but just a little bit of powder in a large container
