Flubendazole is very effective against a range of
"lower" animals. It can however cause swim bladder
damage if used incorrectly and sometimes even if used
correctly so follow the instructions very carefully and
prepare to do massive water changes.
I would suggest you remove the fish before treatment if
you are a bit nervous and do a series of water changes
before you put them back.
