The first video in a series of different fish illnesses and treatment options. If you suspect your fish has an internal disease, this video should help you identify if the issue is worms, and if so, how to treat this. More details below!
If Amazon is sold out of Levamisole, I found the next best medicine to be Paracleanse. Directions are straightforward on the box, and I've treated fish with this medicine a few times.

Primary symptoms of internal worms:
1) White, stringy fish poop
2) Fish is not eating like normal (or at all)
3) Fish may be hiding more often
Steps for treating worms with Levamisole:
1. 50-75% water change
2. Mix 5 grams per 100 gallons in tank water. Use this ratio for your tank size (1 gram for 20 gallons, etc.). I would err on the lower end of the dose - levamisole is potent! (1 gram is roughly 0.23 teaspoons).
3. After 24 hours, complete a 50% water change
4. After another 48 hours, complete a 50-75% water change
5. After 3 weeks, repeat this cycle 1-2 more times until symptoms dissipate
Make sure to remove carbon from filters and monitor fish closely. If fish are noticeably irritated, consider doing a water change earlier than recommended time-frame.
