Here it is! Fenbendazole use against hydroids

[James7733]

They look like fan worms which breed A asexually and cover almost everything in the tank.

Has anyone tested the fenbendazol packets from amazon yet? I've got a rock almost covered with colonial hydroids and I can't pull it out to scrub.

Have not tested the packets yet
If you are thinking of using fenbendazol please be careful as there is a lot of preparation needed to avoid losses.

Yes, I wasn't going to use it on my tank first. I was hoping you had tried it so I didn't nuke my tank.

Waiting for it to show up.
From there I can give proper dosing cause it may be a different strength than what I make.
Hope to have it soon!

Hi and thank you for asking!
This has excited me for sure. No more separating the fenbendazol from the "other chemicals"
Also I am able to treat tanks at half the cost.
I still have to crush it but at least I can take the step out of separating.
Just fantastic for the aquarium industry :-)

How do we get this? I hate these things and cant get to them all. I need this please.

@twilliard ............ Are these hydroids? I have a couple different pics. This first couple, I can't even see with the naked eye, I just happened to focus on it with my macro lens and I'm like WT... is that?? Looks like its hanging off the skirt of the left most polyp...

Then I also noticed these which I thought were hydroids. About a year ago I found some like this and glued over them. Never saw anymore again until now. I glued over them right away. In this pic, just to the left of the polyps...

the local feed store has horse and goat safeguard, same ingredient only it is a paste so no crushing needed and it probably dissolves better, would it work the same?

Colonial hydroids
The cheapest to get is "fish bendazole"

Sorry didn't see this come through!
Amazon has pure fenbendazol that is cheap :-)

Assuming your replying to my pics, is that both pics or just the last pic?

Same dosage as on the box? Does this affect anemone? Still need to remove snails? How about shrimp and hermits?lobster?

Both pictures are hydroids

 

[twilliard]

If you are able to post a picture I would like to confirm the type of hydroid you are dealing with
Beadlocked

Ok so what i do is mix up some kalk paste so it will flow through an aptasia syringe and inject it into the opening if i can get to it. This works for the ones i can see. You will see the paste in them because i went through last night. They seem to be getting worse by the day!

 

[beadlocked450r]

Merry merry happy happy

 

[twilliard]

Honestly I am not sure what that is?

 

[beadlocked450r]

Its a vermited snail

 

[twilliard]

A drop of superglue will handle that :-)
