Fenbendazole

Fenbendazole is used mainly as one of the deworming medicine for animals like horses, cats, dogs and even fishes. However fenbendazole exist in many various forms whereby some may be fully soluble in water while others need acid to make it solvent.

Recently I imported this powder and tried it few tanks of mine to determine the effectiveness. Im very satisfied I would say. Not only did I eradicated all those planarias in the tank, not a single animal, be it shrimps fish or snails die in the process. Furthermore other parasites that loiter in the substrate like thread worm were killed in the process. Ill stressed the medicine I got is fully aquatic and is not the normal deworming powder found in pets store.

If you wished to eradicate these unsightful creatures which prove very harmful to your shrimp. You can take a peek here.
