Wanted: Levamisol wanted in east rand area, preferably in Boksburg/Brakpan area

Good day,

Where will I be able to get some levamisol, I know most vets will be able to give but dont want to pay vet costs just to get some for deworming my fish

Please assists.

Thanks.

 

If you can't find 'Dovaworm' (a pigeon dewormer with 6.5% levamisole) then Nemarid (3.75%) is your best bet: https://rebelpets.co.za/shop/all-products/fish/aquatic-medication/nemarid-fish-dewormer-50ml/

 

I found Tramisol at boksburg by Cyrils Pigeons and Pet

 

Cool, that's 2.5% levamisole if I remember right. Dosage needs to factor that in.

 

Any idea on dosage for food how many mills must I add to hikari pellets, or can I do some babymarrow add the Tramisol to the food and freeze it or can it just soak in the food. I did confirm it is 2.5% levamisole. Please advise.. Thanks.

 

If its a general preventative, just soak the usual amount of food you feed in the stuff, maybe over 3 days given its such a low amount of levamisole.
If you have say a confirmed callamanus worm infection then you can use this link as a guide: http://subquaria.com/Levamisole-HCl-Powder

That is for 99% pure levamisole, so for your own dose of 2.5% you'd need a lot more. So, 99 / 2,5 (x the dose for your tank volume). Make sure you work out the actual volume of water minus rocks and other displacing items.

 

Thanks, its not pleasant stuff I know, but I treated my tank and all fish came through it ok, including rams which are pretty sensitive.
The dose just needs to be correct. A safer route perhaps is the Nemarid way, with smaller, incremental dosing over a few days.

When treating for callamanus worms, I froze the mix with bloodworm before feeding a few hours later.
