Camallanus Worms

[GuppyLover]

I have been treating my angel with Tetra Parasite Clear fizzing tablets for about a week and a half to no aveil. She is still eating and no other fish are showing signs. Help!

I would not treat more than three times with Parasite Clear, Camallanus worms are tough to get rid of and I've had great success with Jungle's medication. I would stop the tabs and start the medicated food, it will be used three times per week for four weeks if I remember correctly. The other option is Levamisole which available through a vet with a prescription and will be costly since most vets don't just write scripts without seeing the fish if you can find a vet that treats fish is tough too.

Jungle's anti-parasite food has Levamisole (at least my bottle has ... some of the newer info pages do not mention that, maybe a change in formulation?) That is prob. the best treatment. The worms are inside the fish, so putting stuff in the water tend not to work.
