Hello! If Amazon is still sold out of Levamisole, and you're looking for medicine options, another great choice is Fritz Paracleanse. I've tested this out a few times since the making of this video and it has worked very well. Here's the link if you need it! Fritz Paracleanse - geni.us/PBSOE

@@CichlidBros Hi there. I have a young oscar cichlid he has been having white traily faeces (like the thumbnail pic) for a few weeks now. He is otherwise seemingly ok, very lively, always eats, front and centre of the aquarium etc. I have previously treated for anti internal bacteria (which i believe was the wrong medication now. I have 3 other fish in the aquarium and they are all pooping normally. Do you think my oscar could have worms, and if so wouldn't my other fish be showing the same symptoms?

You have helped us to learn more about our American cichlids then you’ll ever know, so first and foremost “Thank You”. So now to my question, we recently lost one of our 2 Oscar’s to what we now know thanks to your channel, worms. We have removed our living Oscar from his 90 gal tank to the hospital 20 gal tank. We purchased metroplex,Focus and garlic guard and it actually came in a pack along with KanaPlex. My question is can you treat the water along with giving it orally. My concern is he is not eating and I fear he won’t eat this concoction with the garlic either . Would it hurt to do both just in case he does eat it I don’t want to overmedicate him and kill him.

We followed a few people’s instructions online with the 5 gram/100 gallon dosage and have seen great success and no deaths in our experience.

Excellent video! I followed your instructions precisely. I have a 75 gallon community tank with semi aggressive fish. I am on day 2; I completed the first 50% water change after 24 hours. Question: is it normal that all the fish swim on the bottom now, they don't want to eat and they stopped harrassing each other? Sadly they don't swarm to the front when I approach. Did this happen in your experience? I did not lower my temp to 75 deg, it is at the usual 82 deg. Any insight?

FYI, here's an update. I completed the second water change after 3 days, and thankfully the entire tank is back to normal!

Within two weeks 3 of them have died. They were kind of going towards the top of the tank but a few of them would go all over the tank . They would stop eating and go very slowly. These ones died. I thought it was oxygen so I recently put a bubbler in there.. but it sounds like they may have worms and parasites in their body I don't know where they came from. I don't know if it's worth treating them. If I don't use this stuff and the guppies die. What happens if I put six more guppies in there will they now have parasites..

My tank was established for like 2 weeks I told him they're probably going to die because I don't have enough beneficial bacteria. He said no big deal just test it out.. I told him I only needed about 10 guppies or just a few he said no take them they keep breeding.. So I just put all 43 in a 15 gallon tank.

Flowerhorn still as no interest in eating and still pooping white stuff. I error-ed on the side of caution with the dosing. If i calculated correctly dosing was 1/4 of teaspoon. But i used 1/8 tsp. Also, he forgot to take out carbon the first 24 hours. He did a water change last night and also took out carbon. Should we do another small dose because it was a smaller amount, or wait? Feel helpless would like to help him, thanks...

Hey I have African cichlids all peacocks and notice there tummies are caving it thought it was lack of food but that wasn’t the issue also I haven’t notice any stringy poop or any signs of worms any suggestions in what meds to use I’m currently using metro but doesn’t seem to be doing the trick Thanks!

Bronze Seeker hey there. I had a similar experience with my mbuna awhile back, and Metro did the trick. If it doesn’t help after a bit longer, or you see the clear/white poop at all, I’d consider switching over the levamisole

Cichlid Bros hey thanks for the reply! I’ll definitely give this a shot and see how it works some one was telling me to use Red Sea coral pro at half it’s dosage and it should do The trick I’ll give it and a shot and see but I’ll consider using levamisole

Is there a way to know for sure if you have these diseases in the water? This is an awful lot of work for an assumption
@CichlidBros3 жыл бұрын
That best way to know for sure is to use a microscope on the feces. Most people won’t have that, so the stringy clear poop along with not eating and lethargic attitude are the best surface level signs of this disease

@@CichlidBros What kind of microscope would you recommend? @muzkimon2267 that, and fish not acting as it normally would and hiding is a giveaway. My fish refuses to eat and has these symptoms.

You are right thought, you can use paraguard, try aquarium salt, and do a combination of methods (AQ salt in main tank, dips) (paraguard dips) for treatment depending on severity. Plus, fish not eating and having white stringy poop could be due to numerous reasons. mostly, due to water or poor diet and or stress.

You didn't say in your video why you chose to treat with Levamisole. Did you see evidence of red worms protruding from the fish's anus? I've done a 3 week course of Metronidazole (in food) for sunken belly with no success. The fish has a great appetite and is more active after treatment. Wondering if prazi should be my next course of treatment? Since I've not seen any visible worms I'm hesitant to try Levamisole just yet. Fritz has come out with Expel which is Levamisole so dosing is easier.

my bass is super active and been eating and has this white stringy poop is he ok or no?
@CichlidBros3 жыл бұрын
If it continues for a few more days, I might consider treating him. But if he keeps eating aggressively and acting normal, you could hold off and monitor

You're leaving a lot out? The first water change you're not telling us how much to change? Should we change the water 50% and then add the medication? Or when you say water change do you mean a 100%? Also you say do this 3 weeks later for a second time. During those 3 weeks do you do your regular water changes? you can't leave your fish tank without a water change for 3 weeks it could cause high nitrates or nitrates and ammonia and kill your fish.. cuz I assume you'll be feeding them during those 3 weeks!!
@CichlidBros3 жыл бұрын
The detailed steps are shown towards the end of the video and in the description. If you do a second cycle of medication, I would do weekly water changes as you normally would and feed very lightly

@@CichlidBros Can I ask you another question? all of my guppies have died I think they had this disease so there's nothing in my fish tank. Do I need to treat everything in there anyways I do have one snail that's alive.. Should I just do this process with the snail inside I'm nervous that the disease is in the gravel too that caused the worms in their stomachs. In other words now that I don't have any fish alive is there an easier procedure

It’s not potent ... turn off your lights during treatment . Don’t change more then 10% water before second treatment !
@CichlidBros3 жыл бұрын
Levamisole is very potent. You only need a few grams for a large tank. Below is the source I used back at the time of the video. I’ve never had issues with this recommended dosage or water change schedule... www.inkmkr.com/Fish/CamallanusTreatment/TreatmentProcedure.html
