Proper administration of Levamisole hydrochloride

[valice]

Any discus breeders using levamisole hydrochloride to deworm their fishes? What's the correct dosage to be effective?

It varies, depending on the concentration of your solution. Assuming you have one that is 7.5% in concentration, then the dosage is 1ml for 7.5litres of water. Best to mix required quantity in luke warm water before pouring into into tank for medication to be effectively dissolved. Do a water change after 24 hours.

You can normally get it from bird shops along Serangoon. Alternatively, 500 ml should cost you about S$30 if you order online. Price exclude postage.
