The Puffer Forum

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.

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.

I think it is a change of mixture so not flubenol but does the same thing and is legal to sell.

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

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.

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.

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?

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.

I can't figure out how much this stuff would cost for me (in the US) I'm quite uneducated in foreign currency. sorry.

roughly £1 is 2 dollars so it cost me £11 so you around the $22 mark. That was enough to do 1000 gallons.

wow, that's a lot better than the prices around here for IP treatments that don't even work! I'm gonna see if I can get some

Just seen that you can also get this from Aqua Essentials online as well

It's been 24 hours, and all seems well.

Is this available for export? Is it just like flubenol in the sense that your are shipping unknown "white powders"?

It is white powder but comes in a shiny gold heat sealed packet with another bag and a measuring spoon inside.
