Vpier Posted February 1, 2016 Report Share Posted February 1, 2016 Have you considered using fenbendazole 22%(dog dewormer) ? Its cheap, you can get it at walmart and shrimp safe. I had a bad hydra and planaria problem in three tanks. I did lose a couple of nerites out of five in one tank. I think it was due to dosing an extra day for that tank. I was very worried about using it but was easy and very safe. Louie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted February 1, 2016 Report Share Posted February 1, 2016 Hi Lyana. I have some pure fenben you can use, but it is dosed differently than panacur. If you want some, just give me your addy over pm. I'll send it free. Wygglz, sarah, Lyana and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surprised you didn't lose them all . svetilda and Soothing Shrimp 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vpier Posted February 2, 2016 Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 Let's hope there won't have to be a next time. The problem started when I first started using Bacter AE and was using the recommended amount. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
