Okay, I will do all of that, thank you for the advice!

I bought a 5 gallon that the snails have been in since treatment started. Some of them are not doing well, but I don’t know if that suggests they were carrying the worms/some other disease or if there just isn’t enough algae left for them and they refuse to eat any veggies I’ve put in with them...

I posted a thread back in December about the first worm, it popped out from between the fish’s pectoral fins, so I was told that it was most likely a roundworm and to treat with Flubendazole. When it didn’t work, I actually bought the exact medication in the link Slaphppy7 just posted (the vents...

I have been battling what I believe to be Camallanus worms in a 10 gallon with white clouds and a few platies since December 15, 2020. I have been treating once a week with Kusuri Wormer Plus, 75% WC and filter clean before and after dosing. It is not working. I increased the dose and I thought...

So, last week I tried increasing the dose, putting it both in the water and in the form of medicated feed, and it did not work. The original white cloud still had the worm poking out from its vent. Yesterday, at least two worms had emerged from where the first worm was, so I tried medicating yet...

So, I tried this... the worms are still going strong. Do you think it’s possible they’re just resistant to the type of medication I’m using? I’m not sure what to do next.

Does anyone have any experience using Kusuri Wormer Plus to make a medicated feed? I’m thinking of trying that, since the worms are almost completely internal now, not sticking out from the middle of the fish’s body.

Hmm, I’m at a complete loss as to why the meds aren’t killing the worms then.

Oops! That’s what I get for trying to multitask while writing a reply. I wrote the volume of one of my other tanks and not the white cloud tank. The white cloud tank is ACTUALLY 32.77L, and I’ve been putting 0.07g in. I have been putting 0.21g in my tank that is 95.57L, though.

Perhaps my math is just bad? The white cloud tank is 95.57 liters, and the Wormer Plus calls for 0.3g per 136.3L water, so I should put 0.07g in 95.57L, correct?

The best by date is 4/23.

I’m using Wormer Plus (Flubendazole) in all of the tanks except the tank with all of the snails and one platy fry. I’m using PraziPro in the snail tank. I’ve taken out the rocks except for the gravel substrate and I measure everything again before I medicate just to double check the dosage is...

Back again! Hopefully this is the appropriate way to go about this, I’m still new to these fish forums so please bear with me. I medicated my tanks for the first time last Thursday, and then again yesterday. The fish I originally noticed the worm in appeared to be doing better, but then last...

Yeah, I knew the eggs will only hatch in salt water and the larvae have to develop in salt water, but I have no experience with anything salt water. My well water is also quite so I’m not sure there would be enough calcium for the larvae to make it. I ordered some prazi and will be treating the...

I’m okay with buying more medication, I’d rather have it on hand for emergencies anyway. They’re nerite snails, and everywhere I’ve read says it’s extremely hard to successfully breed them, although I may try.
