Fenbendazole (safe-Guard) dosing calculator

[PushinshrimP]

I have Safe-Guard (Suspension 10%, 100 Mg/ml)
Please help me calculate a dosage per gallon for my shrimp tank to kill planaria.

Thank you!

This is the dosing for fish that I use

I don’t understand the difference between 10% powder and 10% liquid since what I have already is in liquid form.

Hi all,
Is it flubendazole or fenbendazole?

I don’t understand the difference between 10% powder and 10% liquid since what I have already is in liquid form.

It doesn't really matter what form it is in. In both cases one part in ten is the active ingredient.

I'll assume that one mL weighs one gram, so ten mL of 10% fenbendazole solution contains one mL (one gram) of fenbendazole.

For a 10% solution of fenbendazole <"the dosing"> is 0.22g for every ten gallon of tank volume.

That will teach me to skim read 😂😂

They are both "bendazoles". I've only used "Panacur" recently and it works on both <"Hydra and Planaria">.

I have only ever used flubendazole (sometimes with metronidazole), to kill parasites on imported fish

Remember our gallons are different to yours @PushinshrimP (I see you're in Pennsyvania).

Mine is fenbendazole.

Why would your gallons be different from my gallons? Certainly Liters would be different.

 

[PushinshrimP]

This is what I have.

American gallons and british (imperial) gallons are different

In the Americas, a gallon is equivalent to 128 fluid ounces or 3.785 liters (American spelling). But in the UK, it's 160 fluid ounces or 4.546 litres (British spelling).

UK gallons are different to US gallons. Litres are the same the world over.

1 UK gallon = 1.2 US gallons.

Hi all,

Perfect, give it a good shake before you use it. If you have a syringe (without the needle) that makes life easier.
