SuperGuppyGirl Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 (edited) I have gotten them from people (not here) that I have purchased fish from as well as the few times I cheaped out and went to a pet (not an aquarium) store ie. Petsmart, Pj Pets although not even all aquarium stores are reliable but agree once you have them a few times very easy to spot the next round. Have to say after trying to get rid of them using several different remedies/medications Levamisol is the only thing that works Edited August 22, 2012 by SuperGuppyGirl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DougAdel Posted December 15, 2012 Report Share Posted December 15, 2012 I believe I have Cammalanus worms currently infecting my Angel (and most likely the rest of my tank). Where in Edmonton can I get some levamisole? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyfisher Posted December 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2012 I'm not sure where in Edmonton maybe some AA members can help you out.I picked mine up from Canadian Aquatics very easy to deal with and arrived via mail in four days.Don't follow their dosing levels it can be to harsh for some fish I believe RD ( AA-mentor ) has some very good articles on dosing levels in fish emergency section.

DougAdel Posted December 16, 2012 Report Share Posted December 16, 2012 Thanks for the help everyone! I ended up getting some from AC here in Edmonton. Within hours of the treatment the little red threads hanging out of my Angel were gone! I'm gonna follow Jayba's treatment and see how it goes.

DougAdel Posted December 18, 2012 Report Share Posted December 18, 2012 So, I did my water change today, but didn't seem to vacuum up any worms... Is this normal? There doesn't seem to be any more hanging out of my angel's rectum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyfisher Posted December 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2012 (edited) They were very hard for me to see when I vacuumed my 75g which had substrate.I had better luck seeing them in my bare bottom10g QT tank after treatments for new fish even then had to wear reading glasses.The worms are small 1cm at most and transparent when not feeding on a victim.

DougAdel Posted December 18, 2012 Report Share Posted December 18, 2012 Well I'll hope that the blasted things are down the toilet now. Thanks for the support and expertise flyfisher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyfisher Posted December 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2012 Your welcome but a LOT of the credit should go to Jayba who really help me out me out when I was in the same situation as yourself.He provided me with info.and links to beat these things,the very least I can do is spread the word these worms can be taken care of without having to euthanize all of your fish and starting over as many suggested.
