    Camallanus Apistogramma Treating Tank

    Hi all, I've used Levamisole HCl successfully. I bought it as <"Harka Verm">, and sold for cage birds. Cheers Darrel

    The Nymph's Spring (EA900)

    I think this is definitely possible, but maybe the other way round. They all have TB, and TB + stress of new tank + sensitive fish makes them susceptable to anything else lurking in the tank (apparently almost all the diseases are lurking in almost all tanks all the time) = bad times. But I...

    The Nymph's Spring (EA900)

    Camallanus are horrible things and a nightmare to have in a planted tank...thankfully I've never had to deal with it but it was enough seeing others with it to make me doubly sure I never had to and I used to use Harka Verm before NDX came out.

    The Nymph's Spring (EA900)

    ...grisly experience it turned out to <"be Camallanus (an intestinal nematode)"> and I treated it eventually with levamisole HCl, bought as <"Harka Verm"> for cage birds. I've had both "White-spot" and "Velvet" in the past, but the only other really strange thing my fish have had were...

    Sick platy

    Hi all, Camallanus would be my guess. You could try <"Harka Verm">. Dosing details <"are here">. cheers Darrel

    My platy getting weaker day by day!

    Hi all, <"Harka verm"> contains Levamisole HCl. They sell it for cage birds and pigeons, so it maybe easier to find locally for you. cheers Darrel

    German ram - parasite/worm?

    Hi all, I think @Tim Harrison's are good suggestions, but I would also worry about <"Camallanus">. "Levamisole HCl" is what you want for these, you can buy it as <"Harka Verm"> for caged birds. cheers Darrel

    Re-education.....

    ...added bonus .I used it as an addition when treating the puffers with esha Exit and it really made a difference. I get this as bird wormer Harka verm from ebay and use it when getting in fish from Asian imports or as a preventative measure every few months for my puffer fish as I feed all...

    Had three honey gouramis last one died today.

    Thanks very much Darrel, is it just a one off dose or does it have to be repeated over the course of a week? :)

    Had three honey gouramis last one died today.

    ...12 ml for 60 litres, which would give you 48 ml in 240 litres, or about 3.8g Levamisole HCl in total. I assumed that one millilitre of "Harka Verm" weighs one gram. The 566.4 mg is the amount of Levamisole HCl you need to give you 2 ppm Levamisole in the tank water, this is from the Loaches...

    Hi I have used Harka Verm for in tank treatment and medicated food.It will do the job but U may want both ways as is quite safe to use(used it with shrimps,ottos ,Sap puffers and others)and your fish my not accept the food when fully medicated. Regards Konsa

    Skinny Apistogramma - Parasites?

    Bugs you might encounter in your aquarium

    ...it. They won't be Camallanus, they are likely to be harmless detritus (Naididae) worms. I used Levamisole successfully, I bought it as "Harka Verm" for cage birds from Ebay. @Edvet really is a vet. It didn't work for me, I think a lot of Camallanus strains are <"resistant to Flubendazole">, I...

    Here we go again. White stringy faeces.

    Hi all, That is what <"I've done in the past">, I always suspect Camallanus infection with Dwarf cichlids from commercial sources. The problem is that it can take ~6 weeks to show symptoms. cheers Darrel

    Thanks @Konsa , I have a 100ltr tank, not sure how to achieve 2mg/l concentration or how long to dose for so please could you advise if 1x100ml bottle will be enough to do this? Not sure if you linked the wrong page, was there a discussion on ukaps I can read? I can get this from Amazon next day...

    Here we go again. White stringy faeces.

    Hi Most likely U will find Harka verm as a 8% Levamisole solution in 100ml bottles. http://www.harkersonline.co.uk/product/treatments/harka-verm-pigeon-worming-treatment-2/ U are aiming for 2mg/l concentration. I was advised by Darrel that I need 2ml of solution for my 70l tank but because is...

    ...to hear about your Ram. U may want to consider treatment with Levamisole HCL. It is available not too expensive as 8% solution as Harkers"Harka Verm" bird wormer.It is aquarium and shrimp safe. It is light sensitive so treat with lights off. Try to get some live food after treatment to see if...

    My first ever riparium!

    ...to flubendazole, I'm not sure whether resistance to fenbendazole and levamisole also occurs. I've used "Panacur" (fenbendazole) and "Harka Verm" (levamisole HCl) in a planted tank without any problems. Fenbendazole kills Hydra and Planaria, but not annelid worms, snails or shrimps. cheers...

    Emergency fish medicines to always keep on hand

    Hi all, That one. I also have Levamisole HCl and Praziquantel as wormers (bought as "Harka Verm" and "Panacur"). Levamisole would be better as a powder, rather than a liquid, if you can find it, as I belief the liquid loses activity over time. cheers Darrel

    Panacur Wormer

    I got my last lot of "Harka Verm" from <"VioVet">. Fortunately I haven't needed any since. Apparently it doesn't have a very long shelf life as a liquid, but as a powder it stores until you need it. I used the dosing instructions from <"Loaches On-line">. These are the workings for a 70 litre...

    Soil Substrate or Dirted Tank - A How to Guide

    Hi all, Camallanus infection is real problem in SE Asian bred Apistogramma. I've not used eSHa NDX, but I used "Harka verm" (levamisole HCl) successfully, and it didn't re-appear. I didn't break the tank down, but I removed the fish for a couple of months. I'm not sure about the Anubias...

    Swmbos' got Camellanus..............

    ...I treated the tank with Flubenol 15%, which had no effect (but killed all the snails and Planaria) and with Levamisole HCL (bought as "Harka Verm"), which worked straight away. I followed the recommendations from the "Loaches Online" <Levamisole Hydrochloride — Loaches Online>. cheers Darrel

    Levamisole hydrochloride, shrimp and water clarity

    Hi Rob, Looks like we're thinking along similar lines. Bacterial clouding and/or some sort of chelation/precipitation agent were my first two thoughts as well. Sadly the Harka Verm doesn't list any ingredients except the levisamole hydrochloride.

    Levamisole hydrochloride, shrimp and water clarity

    ...I don't normally rush to medicate my tanks, but as the weight loss continued I decided to try dosing levamisole hydrochloride ('Harka Verm' 8% oral solution). I dosed last night before turning off the lights and went to bed. Firstly an observation regarding shrimp; this is generally touted...

    Worming your fish

    I'm sure the doctor could have given you something on prescription Darrel. On a semi-related note, I successfully cleared up what I suspect was a gill fluke outbreak using flubendazole, which was all I had on hand.

    Worming your fish

    ...birds for Camallanus. I think the only legal wormer you can get off prescription is "Fluke plus", containing Praziquantel (an anthelmintic and tape worm killer) and "Wormer plus" containing Flubendazole. Flubendazole didn't work when I suffered from Camallanus, but "Harka Verm" did. cheers...
