So I was trawling Aquarist Classifieds when I see this banner for Wormer Plus. After reading through all the info it seems very very similar to Flubenol. It's for sale in their ebay shop as well so if you are in need of an IP treatment in the UK this could be the one to go for.
Flubenol was a discus wormer so this should do the same job for us like Flubenol did. It states they ship to the US in the ebay shop so you might be able to get it to.
Wormer
I'm gonna get some and give it a go.
IP Treatment for us in the UK.(UPDATE - They ship to USA!)

Since this board has been up, we have found there are several questions that routinely get asked in order to help diagnose problems. If you can have that information to begin with in your post, we'll be able to help right away (if we can!) without having to wait for you to post the info we need.
1) Your water parameters - pH, Ammonia, Nitrite, Nitrates and salinity (if appropriate). This is by far the most important information you can provide! Do not answer this with "Fine" "Perfect" "ok", that tells us nothing. We need hard numbers.
2) Tank size and a list of ALL inhabitants. Include algae eaters, plecos, everything. We need to know what you have and how big the tank is.
3) Feeding, water change schedule and a list of all products you are using or have added to the tank (examples: Cycle, Amquel, salt, etc)
4) What changes you've made in the tank in the last week or so. Sometimes its the little things that make all the difference.
5) How long the aquarium has been set up, and how did you cycle it? If you don't know what cycling is read this: Fishless Cycling Article and familiarize yourself with all the information. Yes. All of it.
We want to help, and providing this information will go a LONG way to getting a diagnosis and hopeful cure that much faster.
While you wait for assistance:
One of the easiest and best ways to help your fish feel better is clean water! If you are already on a regular water change schedule (50% weekly is recommended) a good step to making your fish more comfortable while waiting for diagnosis/suggestions is to do a large water change immediately. Feel free to repeat daily or as often as you can, clean water is always a good thing! Use of Amquel or Prime as a dechlor may help with any ammonia or nitrite issues, and is highly recommended.
Note - if you do not normally do large water changes, doing a sudden, large water change could shock your fish by suddenly changing their established water chemistry. Clean water is still your first goal, so in this case, do several smaller (10%) water changes over the next day or two before starting any large ones.

Re: IP Treatment for us in the UK.
This is very interesting, I hope it's the same product. I didn't see any coporate contact info, as if this IS the same type of medication as flubenol-15, I'd REALLY like to get the pet store I work in to carry it as a regular product.
No matter how magnificent your successes or devastating your failures, the worlds' approximately 5 billion impoverished people could not possibly care less.

Re: IP Treatment for us in the UK.
I think it is a change of mixture so not flubenol but does the same thing and is legal to sell.

Re: IP Treatment for us in the UK.
I was just wondering if you used it already?
I've ordered also some, because I couldn't find funbenol. Only in very big and expensive portions.
So I'm curious

Re: IP Treatment for us in the UK.
I havent ordered any yet, my initial reaction to a secondary case of IP's was premature so there's no point trying it as i wont get any positive results.

Re: IP Treatment for us in the UK.
I have now got some Wormer PLus and will be dosing all my tanks with it as a preventative measure. Puffers, Bichirs and Oscar as it's designed to treat Discus I dont foresee an issue with it.

Re: IP Treatment for us in the UK.
And how did it work?
How did the puffers react on it, what dossage did you use.
I've finally got it in. So I want to use it on my puffers.
On the package stand for all tropical freshwater fish. Do you think I could use it in light brackisch conditions?

Re: IP Treatment for us in the UK.
I dosed all my tanks with it tonight, used the correct dosage as specified on the packet, maybe slightly over the stated dosage. Puffers havent had any adverse reaction to it neither did my bichirs. Only the Oscar who was wary of the fog it caused in the tank approaching him and freaked out a little but that only lasted a minute and was back to normal. Using it in brackish should be fine. the last flubendazole based treatment i used in brackish worked a treat.

Re: IP Treatment for us in the UK.

Re: IP Treatment for us in the UK.
roughly £1 is 2 dollars so it cost me £11 so you around the $22 mark. That was enough to do 1000 gallons.

Re: IP Treatment for us in the UK.
Is this available for export? Is it just like flubenol in the sense that your are shipping unknown "white powders"?

Re: IP Treatment for us in the UK.
It is white powder but comes in a shiny gold heat sealed packet with another bag and a measuring spoon inside.spoot wrote:Is this available for export? Is it just like flubenol in the sense that your are shipping unknown "white powders"?
