Re: Flubendazole kills Ick

[Barry Cooper <bjc3 at cornell_edu>]

If you check the archives of this list you will find a lot of messages 
regarding flubendazole vs the several other similar compounds, all of which 
are anthelmintics, but which appear to have good activity against protozoal 
parasites that affect fish. In summary, they all act similarly, but most 
are pretty insoluble in water. Flubendazole is the most soluble, therefore 
the most useful for treating fish by immersion.
