levasole is definitely very effective and pretty darn safe. I used it last year in my camallanus infestation and it was very effective.

salt along with the raised temperature is the only thing i've ever used and have had no complaints

other cichlids are good tankmates, and there's a long list of posibilities. South Americans like blue acaras, severums, larger geo's are very good, and something from that list is definitely what I would go with.

55 gallon is too small for the BGK for its whole life, but in the meantime, the only big thing is to make sure it has good hiding spots like a piece of pvc pipe.

Parrot fish (family Scaridae) are saltwater fish.

I had an outbreak of camallanus with some wild caught Geo's and it really was a pain in the butt. I used the levamisole that I bought in powdered form. If you search on this site there are previous threads that were really helpful with proper dosing and such. There's also a company Florida...

thats what I do, I add the amount of prime needed for the full tank and then fill up with the python. Just keep track of the temperature.

plenty can go with clown loaches, for example, Geo's and smaller acaras are perfect for mixing with clown loaches. The main concern would just be tank size.

What I meant was between salt/heat vs. meds... not heat vs. salt. I just realized that what I wrote was a little unclear

My original recommendation in this thread was to use just heat and salt. But it's unnecessary to use both.

a bunch of Buenos Aires tetras, but you need a lot since many will get eaten

why bother add salt if you're also adding the meds?

here's some ideas at this link: http://cichlid-forum.com/articles/cookie_cutter_55g.php

pair of Aequidens metae and a pair of Bujurquina vittata

I wouldn't do it, not only b/c of the digging, but them eating the plants is also a concern

I've never used Rid-Ich except at the store i used to work at, but why not forget it and use salt and heat instead? It's more reliable and safe.

most boring definitely bettas.

i would go with only one pair of cichlids, not both

the aggression is probably due to the fact that there is not enough territory to go around, so the GT claims most of the tank leaving the smaller/weaker firemouths open to be attacked more.

Butis butis is sometimes referred to as 'crazy fish'
