What type of deworming medicine to use?

[kdogg85]

Was just wondering what type of deworming medicine to get. I have two fish about to come out of qt in 2 weeks and wanted to do a preventative deworming. Haven't noticed anything hanging out of their "exhaust pipes", but wanted to treat just in case. I've seen different brands, but what is the best?

I wish I could help.This is one of those things that innovator (James) excells in. You might want to PM him and ask.

I sent him a PM for you.

Yup, He's the man when it comes to that (and more). Here's a link (that in all probability came from James to begin with).

Well if the Search button worked I'm sure it could be found more easily lol. This link should provide the necessary information (took a while to find): http://www.aquariumadvice.com/forums/f16/internal-parasite-treatment-106931.html

There are two medications, Praziquantel: oral or bath and Fenbendazole (Panacur): oral.
