yeah guys, i would love to hear some of your advice on this one. On my little fry has been hit by camallanus  and well, have been giving it my all to kill those bastard worms. And unfortunately they are tougher then they look. I've tried feeding my fry some ant-parasite pellets by jungle and he refuse to eat those pellets. So i tried combining metro with some of his original pellets he eats to see if any result is happening. And well....not to sure if its helping or not. (think it does thoguh) Then i tried some Parasite- Off by jungle and it also seems to be ineffective. I'm not to sure how to go at this and maybe it just take patient and lots and lots of time and med to get rid of those suckers. Right now i'm kind of
 and i would like to know what step if any, to take or should i just keep trying some of the old methods and giving it a bit more time???  Well i would love to hear about your take on this.  My fry is still currently in a heatlthy condtion. He is fat and active and not acting lethargic or anything. Doesn't seem to be showing any sign of sickness or unwell. So hopefully wishing to get rid of those worms before they do make him sick. I will continue to see what other option i have instead of using those hard to get fancy meds that i read on the other topic about camallanus. Thanks a bunch.

  Bad little worms, apparently they are like roaches, very good at developing inmunity against parasites treatments. I had luck before with Jungle's Anti-Parasite tabs, or you could try AP Fluke Tabs. If neither works, then read story on this link http://www.petfish.net/kb/entry/154/ and try to find med called Fenbendazole in powder/crushed form, the brand name is Panacur. Dosage and details are on link. Because of worms long life cycle, do not forget to treat other fishes and tanks in contact with sick fish.  |

1 cc = 1 ml; so that's 3 ml.
