Hi all. I am in a very sticky situation with camallanus worms in my tropical tank.
Tank is around 25l and houses 5 juvenile platies- 3 female 2 male size around half inch
They were housed in a 125l until around a week and a half ago when I noticed these red spikes protruding from their vents. found out they were camallanus worms so I transferred them to the smaller tank. So far have treated them with Bob Martin worming granules (contains fembendazole) soaked in bloodworms and also added to the tank water. They have had 3 days treatment so far and I have been gravel cleaning but they still are full of them. Unfortunately I cannot afford chanerverm which I know will kill them does anyone know if there is anything else in the uk that I can use to kill these horrible critters
Anyone pleeease help
