I'll be getting some levamisole hydrochloride in a few days, I was wondering if I would be able to treat camallanus with 2 mg/L or more (upto 3-4 mg/L)... What do I need to look for so that this dosage is sufficient at treating camallanus?
 
2 mg per liter is about the proper dose although you can increase it up to 4 mg but more than that does not make any more difference. Have you already noted the treatment schedule? If your tank is barebottom, expect to see worms lying on it after a bout of treatment.

But the person that I'm buying it from suggest a much larger dosage (around 15 mg/L).

Good thing I won't see the worms too much (most of the tanks have substrate, either sand or gravel)... Although, I guess it would be better if it was bare-bottom as it would be easier to clean it.

Thank you, Lupin.

There really is not much difference when you dose more than 4 mg per liters.:)
 
remember that you will need to redose the tank after 2-3 weeks. levamisole Hcl does not kill the eggs.
 
Yup, I will... I should be able to treat all the tanks nine times at 2 mg/L or 4.5 treatments at 4 mg/L :)

Good thing there doesn't seem to be any problems with shipping to Canada...
 
The redness around the anus of a fish is gone, it also seem to be eating more.

The treatment seems to be a success :) Still have to re-treat the tank after another week or two.
