Treating Camallanus worm

[janger]

Is the jungle anti-parasite food the one with Metronidazole, Praziquantel, and Levamisole in it? What are the amounts of each? When I was looking for a treatment several people had said it never worked for them either. But if it has enough levamisole it should work.

The bird wormer I used recommends to use for no more than 24 hours and repeat in 2 weeks. So that's what I did with the fish.

I suspect that the 2 week thing is for killing anything that might hatch after initial treatment - it'd be like treating fleas. It's easy to kill the adults, but it takes a nuke to touch the eggs, so you kill the adults, wait 2 weeks & treat again to kill any hatched eggs before they get a chance to lay more eggs.

pretty much the way it works. many wormers don't treat the eggs..and you should re-treat within 3 weeks.

there is however, treatment that kills the eggs.
