... You probably don't want to wait for more than a week or so to do another change, though. If you really wanted to make sure you cleared out the levamisole you could put some carbon in your filters. I didn't think the carbon would be worth the effort to open up my canisters. Since the fish weren't ...

My fish suffered a small loss of appetite for a day or so after I treated them with Levamisole HCl. The only thing I did was to cut back on the amount of food offered since I knew they wouldn't eat their regular servings. After I did a very large water change to get ...

From what I found out when looking for a good deworming med, Levacide is the brand name for a product containing levamisole as the active ingredient. This was the case with the Levasole, which I used. There's some good info over on The Krib about using levamisole HCl; directions ...

This thread might help, but I'm assuming you've already read through it. I'd just mix up a solution of the levamisole so that your tank (treat the entire tank) gets a dose of about 5-10 mg/liter and then do as large of a water change as possible after 24 hours.

Levasole and Tramisol (both contain levamisole hydrochloride) are off-the-shelf products (at least in my area they are). You just won't find them on the fish shelf. You'll have to look at a feed or farm animal supply store. If you can't find them there, you may be able to get them from a vet.

... a country feed store. It's actually a deworming agent for sheep, goats, cattle, etc. I paid $15 US for a 13 gram packet containing 11.7 grams of levamisole HCl. This single packet is enough to treat my 135g tank 3 times at roughtly 7.5 mg/l. The Levasole solution (after you mix it with water) ...

... an experienced pleco keeper by any stretch of the imagination, but I thought I'd toss in my 2 cents. I recently (4 days ago) used some Levasole (levamisole hydrochloride) to deworm my 135g tank containing 2 oscars (I know they're cichlids, forgive me), 3 pictus cats, and a sailfin pleco. At least ...

Deworming W.C. Plecos Ergamisole/Tramisol/Levamisole?

... at the time of purchase as a preventative measure, only if the fish definitely has worms, or not at all? I have heard that Ergamisole/Tramisol/Levamisole works well and I was wondering how it is used to deworm plecos? What concentration and is it administered through food or through adding ...

... the immune function breaks down and parasites get the upper hand. By that time, you must treat with internal parasite medications. I recommend Levamisole hydrochlorite. It is the best.
