Best Internal Parasite Treatment?

[Sophie]

As the title says - symptoms include white poo and some bloating

Always Kusuri Discus Wormer (flubendazole) in my opinion!! Second to that... Waterlife Sterazin.

 

[Sophie]

Thank you very much! 

The Sterazin cannot be used with crustaceans - I presume that my Bamboo/Rock Shrimp will not appreciate this? Could half dose?

 

[MBOU]

I don't think there are any crustacean safe anti parasite/wormer treatments as they are designed to kill...well... crustaceans!

There is one that is claimed doesn't harm any inverts.  It's Levamisole Hydrochloride if you can get it. It's a broad spectrum but as any med it's not effective against everything. The article below explains what it treats and what not.
At least it's not dangerous with invert according ot the article. "It does not harm the bio-filter, plants, invertebrates or uninfected fish."

Yeah, the difficulty is in getting hold of it! It's not like you can just buy it from your LFS...

 

[Sophie]

Fair enough, I'll move them to the other tank temporarily

Out of interest, Sophie, what type of fish is having the problem?
