Before i go all out i just need some alternatives to the typical "Big L" and than Prazi treatment. i am about to stock my new 90 gallon.

i have looked everywhere for "Big L" here in Florida, well near where i live. this stuff does not exist here. i have found Prazi however.

so i need a alternative; i looked on drfostersmith.com and found this:

http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?c=3578+4615+14981&pcatid=14981

so what are the thoughts on that stuff? I mean i can still buy just Prazi and perhaps use another wormer, but which and where?

thanks guys!

levimenisole (bigL) treats round worms and only round worms. all the products you've listed treat flat worms (tapeworms flukes etc) you'll have to keep looking, ifd no do see a vet and ask for some Levimenisole and treat at 2mg/L

Leave it the the US to make things difficult :x

Levamisole Hydrochloride is only available through a vet here in the US.

someone had said i could do metro (which i can get here at the store) and prazi? i wasn't too sure because i thought metro was for hex?

metro is for protozoa and bacteria, not worms

still trying to find some substitutes... no luck everything is banned. i think i will have to go to the vet, or hope the fish are 100%.
