Soothing Shrimp Posted April 28, 2015 Report Share Posted April 28, 2015 Recently we've had members have problems with dosages of fenben and fishben. I've been doing some research, and I'm wondering if these products could be a new way of mess-up proofing the meds: http://www.petsathome.com/shop/en/pets/panacur-worming-syrup-10%25-for-cats--kittens--dogs-and-puppies-100ml http://www.amazon.com/Durvet-Safeguard-Goat-Dewormer-125ml/dp/B000HHLVB8/ref=sr_1_sc_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1430224818&sr=8-1-spell&keywords=fenbenzadole+liquid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGardenofEder Posted April 28, 2015 Report Share Posted April 28, 2015 I liked the idea of putting the fenbenz in tea bags so you could remove it after your done. You couldn't do that with the liquid. Also have you looked into doing it with H2O2 instead of fenben. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted April 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2015 Honestly, no I haven't. I've had such good results with fenben that I really don't want to change. The only reason to use teabags is so chunks don't get on the soil. Otherwise removing the teabag is useless because the med is already dissolved in the water.

Dendrobatez Posted April 29, 2015 Report Share Posted April 29, 2015 I had some bad results with fish ben. around the same time as thegardenofeder did too. I dosed it less than recommended online, whole pack in water (forget how much) then I did 1ml of water per 20g instead of recommended 10g. It killed the hydra but also seemed to cause a mini cycle and then ammonia jumped overnight, had to keep doing WCs to keep the levels down and after a week and some losses it leveled off. My PRLs were fine but the TBs took a hit for sure. I would be interested in hearing about the H2O2 method but doesn't H2O2 kill off Beneficial Bacteria as well?

No, based on the information I read, fenben is very hard to dissolve. so remove the powder after the treatment, you remove most of it. I even don't do any extra water change after treatment.

chibikaie Posted April 29, 2015 Report Share Posted April 29, 2015 This makes me wonder if the target dose is much lower than people have used. I've always used oral suspension as I have access to it. Does anyone have a lot of planaria that can be used for testing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
