Re: [Killietalk] Fenbendazole & Flubendazole on blackworms

["wm crash" <wm_crash at hotmail_com>]

Hi,

I have tested Fenbendazole (Panacur) on blackworms. The worms died somewhere 
between 3 and 4 days. I sprinkled a few granules (maybe 10-20) in a 1L 
container. The non-medicated blackworms in similar conditions are doing 
fine.

In both medicated and non-medicated containers, the cypris and the copepods 
are doing just fine.

There was a limited number of planaria in the water. I can spot some in the 
non-medicated container, while I can't seem to find any in the medicated 
one.

I have no Flubendazole on hand.

thanks,
wm_crash, the friendly hooligan
