BikBok Posted August 25, 2010 Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 Levamisole (in Aviverm) should deal with nematodes. My very first guppy came from the store with callamanus worms and although he died (aviverm was delayed in the post) I did treat the other fish and didn't lose any more.

Jennifer Posted August 25, 2010 Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 Are they free living nematodes or parasitic nematodes that you see hanging out of the fish? If you see them swimming around they are most likely free living and will not be a threat to the fish so there is no real need to kill them - free food! If they are hanging out of the fish's vent/anus (as opposed to hanging OFF the fish), levamisole or albendazole will take care of them.

ryanjury Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 No worries, I found it a very good article it is hard to find information like this specifically for treating fish sometimes.. Just take note of the treatment regime and dosage at the bottom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
