Note Panacur (fenbendazol) is not realy developed for aquarium use, it desolves rather badly in water and risks of inverts dying is high.. Might want to take a look at Fluke Solve..

It is Praziquantel powder dewormer and effective against most other external parasites.. It is very safe to use even for longer periodes the recomended dosage can safely be used for 14 days treatment.. It only comes in 10 gram as smallest amount, but it can be stored indefinitely.. It was advised to me by Dr. Fiona to treat a very bad Trichodina infection on pygmaea corys. Used it as recomended, 14 day treatment.. 80% corys survived, trichodina gone and dewormed at the same time, no lose in shrimps and snails. That's about 18 months ago, all though a few went partialy blind from the infection the little ones are still living and healthy today.
Thanks ZoZo, i was going to buy that one, but at nearly £30 for a bottle. Decided on Panacur.
You can buy it as "Harka Verm" for caged birds.For callamanus worms you need levamisole hydrochloride. The other wormers won't work.

It is sold under different names with different concentrations but pretty sure they sell it in the UK for fish use also.
Of what i have understood from my email conversations with Dr. Fiona Mcdonald it should.
The intermediary host for Camallanus are copepods like Cyclops, but I think that transmission in the aquarium is almost always from fish to fish.So think it may have come in, in the live foods I Cultivate.
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.You can buy it as "Harka Verm" for caged birds.
I'll assume it is 8% "Levamisole HCL" (if the 8% is "Levamisole" just use 2 as your multiplication factor).
You need to multiply the 70 litres by 2.36 (you are aiming for 2mg/l Levamisole, the calculation is here <"Loaches On-line: Levamisole.....">) giving you 165mg of Levamisole HCL required.
Your solution is 8% Levamisole HCl, so each gram of solution contains 80 milligrams of Levamisole HCL, so you only need just over two ml of "Harka Verm".
Now i wouldn't call that a particular negative effect..Levamisole HCL is a safe and effective anthelmintic for use in aquariums. - Hobbyists have been using it for years now and there are few reports of negative effects - At higher dosages than recommended there have been some reports of - explosive plant growth.
