Fenbendazole in fish-free tank
My poor fish are in a quarantine tank being treated for both capillaria and camellanus worms using levamisole which seems to be doing the trick for them. I am clearing their normal home now, having nuked it once more with levamisole which doesn't "do" snails or capillaria eggs and figured I might as well nuke them while I am at it. I have fenbendazole here which is supposed to be added to food. No fish in that tank so no food. Will dumping it straight into the water wipe out the pests regardless of their life cycle stage? The tank is also planted if that needs to be considered. Thanks!

Levamisole is only noticeable to the worms. The only reason to even do a water change is to vacuum out the dead stuff. The fish are doing fine in quarantine, eating, swimming, running up when they see me looking in. They are in a blackout tank, so only the top is clear. Maybe I will wait for the loaches to get rid of the snails. They obviously are not causing havoc if I can't find them. Might leave the "hard stuff" for quarantine.
