Re: [Killietalk] worms?

["Joseph S." <nonamethefish at gmail_com>]

Are camallanus worms the only kind of worms we deal with? If not, can
internal worms be treated as such? It isn't little red threads but
rather a single one.

Flubendazole works too? That stuff seems to kill everything. Must be a
pretty new. I understand that the intermediate host of these worms are
copepods. Will flubendazole kill them too? Would adding salt be
reccomended at all? If their is a relatively safe way to kill the
copepods off for a few weeks I will probably do that to insure the
cycle is broken.

What would you all reccomend to do in regards to plants/decor? If I
treat the tank, should that eliminate the worms? Would bleaching the
tank and throwing out everything be necessary?
