Hello all.
I'm Joe, I own a juwel rio 240L community tank containing;
4 x Black widow tetra
2 x Dwarf Gourami
2 x Platy
2 x Ottocinclus
5 x Molly
1 x Black Molly
8 x Molly fry (young)
My water parameters are: 0 Ammonia, 0 Nitrite, >10ppm Nitrate.
About 2 months ago I noticed red 'spikes' protruding from one of my gourami's vent & after a little research I diagnosed him to have a Camallanus worm infection.
I treated the entire tank with NT Lab's 'Anti Fluke & Wormer' Medicine following a recommendation from my LFS. A week in I noticed the other smaller Gourami had one small 'spike' also. I repeated the treatment as advised for a month (once a week for 4 weeks). The worms seem to have started to protrude more on the big Gourami (he has more than 12 spikes!) but none have been passed (I have cleaned tank well where appropiate) Therefore the Infection still exists.
After leaving the tank for the recommended 10 days between medications I am now ready to use Chanaverm;

Anyone else used this? there is not much info about & I really dont want to harm any of my fish.
Many thanks in advance, Joe
