It actually isn't as easy as that article makes it seem to get rid of them. I've been feeding our fish using 10% Panacur, which is horse dewormer strength for a month now and we're just starting to see improvement.
There are different strengths of Panacur and different forms. We have the paste, which we mix twice daily with blood worms and some garlic juice.
Gl to you, im sorry you have to deal with this. Im new to aquariums, and my whole tank got infected and fish stated dying, I treated with everything, and then even a couple rounds of panacur... I ended up euthinzing my whole tank I since have purchased a qt tank, and am very carefull.... I wish you the best.
Oh dang, I'm sorry to hear you had to euthanize everyone. That had to be rough.

DragonFish, this has been bothering me ever since you wrote it. I don't want to be giving anyone any potentially bad advice if I can avoid it. I want to help, not hurt them.
Please bear with me, just so I can get a handle on this, is the strength of the Panacur you are using stronger in that form than powdered stuff available at pet stores or online?
Thankfully, I've never had deal with this directly myself, but I know what anightmare it can be. I helped a friend find this solution on the net a few years back and saved it. Fenbendazole got rid of the buggers, but it took a month. I believe that he used the powder from capsules for dogs. Is that a different strength than what you have?
I don't want to suggest this to anyone else if it is not working!
after I purchased my infected molly, I called the pet store and sure enough there tank was infected as well... she INSISTS she cured all hers with melafix!!
Not sure what a nematode is but I do know there nasty!!!!
