A quick look at treatment of camallanus in ornamental fish. Half of the original footage was deleted, showing symptoms and expelled worms, but it still seemed worth posting.

This video is the BEST on helping people to get the dosages correct for this wormier !! Thank you so much for making it simple !! You asked people to post where they can get the Agrilabs Prohibit Soluble Drench Powder at........ Tractor Supply has it if you have one near you ! $21.00

@MischiefandFins 4 года назад

That's great news, it's never occurred to me to look for medications at Tractor Supply. I've pinned the comment, because that's incredibly useful for a load of people, since Tractor Supply seems to move into basically any town with more than 30,000 people in the US.

@wekivaaquatics5918 5 лет назад

Thank you so much for this video!!! I found out one of my tanks has camallanus worms and I was very sad. I checked the product you reviewed and the reviews are great! I appreciate your time and effort to put this together.

@rachelkunz611 4 года назад

Thank you for your help and time! I'm going through this myself right now. First time. I lost a lot of fish.

@dylansargent67 3 года назад

My fish with Camallanus worms is out of my heavily planted aquarium. There is currently no fish in the tank. Do I need to worry about the worms still being in the tank in egg form or any of the life stages?

@mahmoudabdulrazak7463 Год назад

There is way to divide the powder of levamisole hydrochloride and redose for 2mg/lite, thanks again for the information.

@scottrobert2724 7 месяцев назад

yeah i bought measuring spoons on amazon and do 10mg per gallon.

@FreshwaterFishFreak 5 лет назад

Aaack...I think I had that once. Currently all my tanks are down, so hopefully going forward, I won't have that problem.

@oliviawang4655 5 лет назад

How late is too late to treat callamanus worms?

@MischiefandFins 4 года назад

It really depends on the fish. Generally, if you see them coming out of the fish, it's probably too late for that fish, but it's not too late for the rest of the tank. Larger fish tend to have better recovery, though, so if you have a larger fish that's by itself, like an oscar or yellowjacket and you see them coming out of the vent but the fish is otherwise healthy, I'd still treat, personally.

So I bought levamisole in a product called Fritz's expell P I have some guppies Pilates mollies and tetras in quarantine for the past 2 weeks or so. The one Molly in particular constantly has long white stringy poop so I treated everyone with paracleanse and gave expel P last night Just in case. I don't see any red worms so if days go by and I see no red worms do you think it's safe to not retreat since I was doing it as a preventative? Also the package says to retreat in one week but I was told to wait two weeks because of the eggs hatching. I'm assuming they say that because the eggs would be in the aquarium and hatch and get eaten but if I don't see any more worms I plan on moving them into the bigger community tank. They are eating and they look healthy so I'm wondering if I can move them over after a few days especially if I don't see any red worms. What are your thoughts?

@delkracko8139 5 лет назад

I have a betta and 2 cory catfish that i think are infested with worms (not sure which kind) and i dont have the money to buy medicine for them right now. I have several questions: Are there any home remedies i could try other than feeding them garlic and regular water changes? Can snails get infected by worms? Can i starve the parasite larva by taking all my fish out to quarantine and leaving the tank alone?

@mahmoudabdulrazak7463 Год назад

I won't waste the whole package. It is easy to weight out a fraction. Even a small scale is rather cheap now.

@GreenEyedJade 2 года назад

What about anchor worms?! My fish are dying from these (I think) I don’t know anymore though I just know it’s some type of worms and it’s driving me crazy - my fish are gonna be dead soon :( I’ve done SO much idk maybe I did too much. They’re only goldfish but man, I love my fish

@111sparkle111 4 года назад

Thanks for this. Couple of questions... Will this damage beneficial bacteria in filters? Also, If we have camallanus red worms visible at the vent of the fish, about how long should it take for them to start to dislodge and be pooped out after dosing this medication? Hours? Days? Or are some infestations too far along to knock out at all? So far not seeing any change after 12 hours. Thank you!

@lightworker277 Год назад

You don’t want them to birth 1,000 of baby worms , that’s what happened in my tank

20 bucks sounds pretty cheap compared to most things. Especially if your trying to treat a 125g tank.

@exefile6299 5 лет назад

Can you treat the tank as a preventive if you only have a suspicion but nothing confirmed?

@MischiefandFins 5 лет назад

Yeah, the treatment is very safe for fish. I treat all of my new fish as part of the quarantine process, and have never had any issues.

hello. Thanks so much for the video. Do you know if it is safe to treat with Seachem Metroplex while treating with Prohibit Levamisole? Also do you turn lights out while treating? Much thanks

@MischiefandFins 4 года назад

I've used it with metronidazole before without issue, but I can't say with any certainty that doing so is 100% safe. I do not alter lighting cycles.

My Angles have this and they have three week old fry with them. Will this hurt the fry?

@MischiefandFins 4 года назад

I haven't seen any studies dealing with young fish specifically, but the ones I have seen on adults suggest that this is completely harmless to fish at the dosage of the mixture I made in the video. I would feel safe using it with fry, personally.

@brodyca1898 5 лет назад

My fish has a small red tube like thang out of its stomach is it the same thing or is it different

@israelmendoza8306 5 лет назад

Is the water in the water bottle is tank water ? And what do you use as a droper ?

@MischiefandFins 5 лет назад

I just get a new bottle when I need it and use that, the water in the bottles is safe and it's easier than trying to measure out 995 ml. You can buy droppers at pharmacies for very little. Personally, I generally use pipettes, but that's because I buy them in bulk to use for harvesting baby brine shrimp.

@andreaeccard8977 3 года назад

Thank you so much for this video! We are having this problem at the moment and ordered the medication which is about to arrive. Trying to figure out if it will kill plants and bacteria in the filter. Also trying to figure out how contagious this is, and if we need to treat the other tanks in the house since we have used some equipment and may have cross contaminated everything. Thank you so much, any advice will be helpful!

@jemmaharvey222 4 года назад

I am stating to stress, I know my fish has Camallanus worms but the treatments don’t seem to be able to be shipped to Australia. I don’t know what to do at this point

@MischiefandFins 4 года назад

In countries with stricter laws on medications your best bet is generally going to an exotic pet vet. I don't think worming stuff is as heavily regulated as antibiotics, though, so I'd call a few veterinary supply places and see if any carry the medication. My local places don't, but they can order it (they get a different brand, but it works fine)

@kathleenmonsegue9700 5 лет назад

I have a 45 gallon long tank with camallanus worm infected cichlids. How much to put into my tanks water? I'm planning on removing the substrate from the tank.

@MischiefandFins 5 лет назад

5:55 One drop per liter if you mixed the solution I showed. A 45 gallon long is about 42 gallons completely full, so you've probably got about 40 gallons of water, 40x3.78 liters gives 151 drops. That's basically 1.5 tsp in the US, or 7.5 ml elsewhere.

@@MischiefandFins I tried killing the worms off with pure and potent medicated flake food with febendazole in it. And they still have it.

@MischiefandFins 5 лет назад

I gave pretty detailed answers to these questions in the video. Watch it again starting at 5:55 and it explains the treatment frequency, water changes, etc If you are somebody that doesn't do well with auditory stuff, I'd check out this article: www.loaches.com/Members/shari2/levamisole-hydrochloride-1

@MischiefandFins 5 лет назад

Cliffs notes: treat every 5 days, wait 24 hours after treatment, change as much water as you can get away with before treating again. 3 treatments should be enough. If it isn't, I'd think maybe the medicine was bad.

@tee_win 3 года назад

Could you please help me identify a worm I found swimming in the water when I disturbed my substrate? I'm afraid that it might be a camallanus worm. It looks very similar to the one in the following video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--Ta_NQF41uI.html&ab_channel=Natalie.Tomczyk The thing is that I don't have fish in my tank yet. I only have a dwarf crayfish and some snails. Could what I found still be a camallanus worm?

Im gonna go out on a limb here.. It appears that, you as I, do nearly all of your building by yourself.. I did see that your wife offered you a helpful hand recently.. My wife will if Im asking, however, I find myself working at a methodical pace with the next 4-5 steps already planned. That more annoys her, than has her embracing assisting me.. lol I do keep an eye on your activities, and look forward to more communication, as your build gets closer. I took 39 years of fishkeeping and am enjoying my 3rd diy plywood build these days. Best to you with yours .. p.s. Did you say " camel anus worms " ?
