anyone used this? contains praziquantel & levimasol. 10mg/mL Levimasole & 2mg/mL Prazi.seems much easier to procure on the net as opposed to driving down to Dural for sykes big l from horse supplies direct. http://www.petalia.com.au/templates/prodSubList.cfm?group_no=2103

Do not use that.

It is canary wormer - i.e it will have glucose in it to make it palatable.

Go with Big L - trusted brand.

If you dont want to drive there, I know a site online where you can order from and get it sent to you.

I second that
Dont use this, I used a similar one and there was a huge algal bloom and the fish were up at the surface gasping for air within hours of using it - Had to
move all the stressed fish out and strip tank etc etc. Ladyred also warned against using "levamisole plus anything else" but the only ingredients listed on my bottle were levamisole and Praz. alas the glucose wasn't listed probably because its not an active part of the worming. but it did play havoc in the tropical temp. water. Lost the name, but mine had a colourful small parrot on the bottle and the glucose probably made it taste nice to nectar eaters. Vicki
