Worming - Flubendazole

Post by millsn » Sat Nov 12, 2011 11:20 am

Does anyone know which worms Flubendazole fails to treat? I've tried my normal wormer (Kusuri wormer plus) twice now with no effect and need to try another product but I'm running out of time to fix the problem

Well I ordered some JBL nebol on recommendation/suggestion from maidenhead aquatics. I'm about to dose the tank but I needed two bottles (the outside of the bottle says treats 400litres and mines closer to 700l. But, when you read the instructions you need to re-dose 9 days later to kill those that hatch from eggs and that's only if you've not got a particular worm. If you've got the worst case you've got to fork out for another 4 treatments, At £27 a pop!
Misleading packaging I would say. I reckon I must need a pond strength wormer instead

Prazipro is also good. Not able to get it in the UK but those from ebay (com) are willing to post if you email them before hand. I find that and the discus wormer combined (separate treatments) usually does the job.

Hi I did post a link to another website on here of a very good wormer and it has been removed .

This is a soluable version of Prazi and it works well .
Keep your powder dry !

"Isn't this whole subject supposed to be in the sickness forum?"

Well I thought long and hard about that B4 posting here. I reckoned that the actual question posed related to proprietary products and not fish sickness per-se so I posted here instead. It's a thin line but I reckoned the thread might get relocated if it caused any concerns.

Thought I'd just drop in an update. The instructions on the JBL wormer say to use carbon to remove the wormer. I hadn't bothered and then tank water went all green (chemical not algal) despite several water changes. I finally used carbon and all is back to normal with clear water again
