Re: [Killietalk] Fenbendazole & Flubendazole on blackworms

[Barry Cooper <bjc3 at centurytel_net>]

I have never tested it, but I would not be surprised to find that these 
compounds are toxic to blackworms. Why don't you do the experiment? Make up 
a gallon of aged water containing flubendazole at 10 mg/gal (i.e. 200 mg of 
the 5% powder) and put a dozen or so blackworms in that and a similar 
quantity in plain aged water. Keep them in a cool place for a few days and 
see if there is any difference in survival.
