Treating Camallanus Worms - Brooklyn Aquarium Society

robertprice · March 25th, 2013, 01:56 PM

I've gotten a few inquiries on Yahoo recently about treating these nasty parasites, and several people who complain that nothing worked. Camellanus worms have a 30 day life cycle, and whether you used Levamisole, Prazi-Pro, or Fenbendazole, you have to treat a second time in two weeks. The first treatment often paralyzes them and they get expelled, but then recover. Drs. Foster and Smith sell Fenbendazole, which usually works the best.

What type of tank set up do you have? Is it easier to clean the entire set up?

I don't personally have any Camallanus worms, and I have 9 tanks. My readers on Yahoo get them from time to time, and they complain that the recommended wormers don't work. They do work, but you have to treat twice in 2 weeks as the Camallanus resting stages will hatch after the first dose of drug wears off. In a small tank you could eliminate them by cleaning everything, but that would necessitate boiling the gravel or treating the entire fishless tank with Levamisole, Fenbendazole, or bleach, and then washing everything again. That's why they are so nightmarish to cure.
