Fenbendazole

[Mjrenz]

My fish are in a fenbendazole bath right now being treated for prazi resistant flukes and, as I'm watching them, I'm thinking about the fact that there isn't a sticky thread about using fenbendazole on here. Since I'm not an expert on fish disease, and the only thing I can do is plagiarize Humble's site, can I convince one of the experts to write something up about using it?

Thank you!

Here's a great link to an article about the effects of fenbendazole on reef tank inhabitants. Especially the point that live rock absorbs and keeps it viable for a very long time.

That was a very interesting read! One other thing that I found interesting; I checked with a chemist at Thomas labs to see if fenbendazole was safe to use with copper, which he told me it was, (I accidentally raised my copper level from 1.0 to 1.7 when I did a water change before I did the bath due to a horrible math error and all of my fish are just fine including my six line wrasse) he also told me that most forms of fenbendazole meant for dogs or livestock also contains copper.
