eSHa -NDX Anti Parasite Treatment Treats Roundworms For Fresh And Marine 20ml

Amazing stuff, after reading lots of reviews and checking other brands, came back and ordered this one. Followed instructions carefully and within half an hour my little guppy was pooping out the dreadful worms. Does make the water cloudy but not a problem as saved my lil girl. Very happy fish Mum

eSHa-NDX is basically Levamisole HCl which is used to rid fish of various internal worms. In my case it seems to have been effective in killing a type of camallanus worm infection, which had already killed one of my fish. The fish tend to die of secondary bacterial infection after the worms break down the intestinal wall. So if you're purchasing this because you have seen visible worms it might be wise to look for a source of antibiotics just in case they are also needed. Levamisole HCl is not readily available to aquarists - there are many anecdotes relating how people have been obliged to use various dilutions of wormers sold to treat pigeons and other birds. Having it in a form where one simply adds one drop per litre of aquarium water is therefore very handy. Its is critically important to repeat the dose (in my experience) if there are still visible worms after 3 days of black out. I would not advise dosing immediately, but after a huge water change (80-90%), a very thorough clean of the substrate and a few days to run your filter with carbon and feed the fish up with the best quality food you can find, remembering that any still infected fish is being robbed of most of its nutrition by the worms. You should in any case repeat the dose after three weeks regardless because you need to kill off any worms that have grown from the larval stage since the first dose. Levamisole seems not to affect the larval and juvenile stages of worms - though this probably varies with different species. So it's 1 drop per litre of aquarium water allowing for water displaced by substrate and hardscape, but remembering to add the water in your filter if you have a big external canister. I did a lot of research and Levamisole is not a very harsh drug - in the early days people were using relatively huge doses until someone figured out the ideal dose, above which there is zero benefit to going. On that basis I did my calculation quite liberally, erring on the side of being generous because you definitely dont want to under-dose this drug. So 1 drop per 1L 100 drops = 4.4ml so 1 drop = 0.044ml, which means that 0.5ml = 12 drops and 1ml = 23 drops (yes 23! It depends on when you round up or round down!) I found it most helpful to work out these volumes as I was not about to stand over a tank trying to count 185 drops! I used a syringe and then added a few drops to make up the smaller volumes. e.g. 185 litres for a 200 litre aquarium. 8ml eSHa-NDX dosed from the syringe plus 12 drops for the extra 0.5 ml My best wishes for a good outcome to anyone purchasing this product!

This was recommended to me by my local Aquarium shop. The owner used to be in charge of the Aquarium oo so he really knows his stuff. He said it is the best on the market and he wouldn't use anything else. The dose is a little difficult to work out, but they do have a calculator on their website. I've used this twice over the last year, and it worked perfectly both times.

Firstly, this stuff works. I suspect that my guppy tank had had camallanus worms at a low level for some time. It had recently become more acute, and I suspected it had been transferred to my other tank. Using the 2 doses 2 weeks apart in both tanks seems to have solved the problem, with very few fish losses. And its much easier than messing about with a bird wormer! However, despite what the instruction leaflet says, I found it did interfere with the filtration - I experienced a slight ammonia spike after each dose. Not a big problem, but you really need to monitor things carefully, be ready to do water changes, and maybe have some form of filter booster on standby, especially if you have sensitive fish.

Worked really well did make the water a bit cloudy but it did say it would as long as you follow instructins and have a good syphen to clean the sand or gravel to collect the parasites that are expelled

I have worms in my aquariums and got this because it is supposed to kill them but it seems to have stunned my shrimp into becoming less active and it has killed some worms but not everything as I am still seeing some on the glass. I think they are planaria but I'm not 100% sure. I think I may need to add another dose.

Arrived quickly, perfect dropper teat and easy to use. Treated a tank that contained newly purchased wild caught Corys, so wanted to ensure they were "clean". I imagine it will last a long time, so good value for money. I didn't notice any bad smell either, though it does colour your water temporarily. Make sure to remove any carbon or UV filtration before using!

We bought this as a last ditch effort after having camallanus worms in our fish tank (looked like spikes coming out of fishes anus/abdomen) went to the local shops for help and bought alot of products worked through them to no avail. Killed all our shrimp in the process as we had to make a sacrifice for the fish we had in there. This however worked brilliantly, quickly and is safe to use with shrimps. Wish we had known this before buying all the other products.
