fish illness expert???

Both pretty much the same, I think.

Unlike with ich, not sure it would help to rinse the sand here...the copepods are everywhere, not just in the sand. I wouldn't do anything major right now except water changes to make nitrates as low as possible and reduce the stress on the fish. Fresh water will perk up all but the sickest fish.
 
Oh, and keep feeding them the Jungle stuff (if they'll eat it) until the other stuff gets there. There isn't much Levamisole in that food but some, and it's better than nothing. Levamisole does seem to work also but less reliably than Fenbendazole (Panacur) in my reading.
 
I don't think they really eat it, I keep seeing them spit it out, all my fish hate pellets, even crushed. I have 0 ammonia, 0 nitrites, 0 nitrates. That's because of all the plants, it's a jungle in there, lol.

Opted to get all 3 med foods instead. How long do you think it will take before it gets here?
 
Oh, does anyone here need a 55g & metal stand for it?
$75 for both, I just really need it gone, been sitting empty for days.
 
Ok, if you are using the flakes you have to keep in mind, if we are still talking about callamanus worms, that when they die and come out the eggs can still be viable and they will reinfest if you don't gravel vac like crazy, that's why I prefer the levamisole Hcl because it also kills anything in the water.
With any internal parasite you usually redose after two weeks to kill any eggs that reinfected.
 
How long can they live in a tank w/o any fish in it?
If I can get a 75G, I will keep it a bare tank until I'm done treating them.
