eSHa -NDX Anti Parasite Treatment Treats Roundworms For Fresh And Marine 20ml

Worked well

eSHa-NDX is basically Levamisole HCl which is used to rid fish of various internal worms. In my case it seems to have been effective in killing a type of camallanus worm infection, which had already killed one of my fish. The fish tend to die of secondary bacterial infection after the worms break down the intestinal wall. So if you're purchasing this because you have seen visible worms it might be wise to look for a source of antibiotics just in case they are also needed. Levamisole HCl is not readily available to aquarists - there are many anecdotes relating how people have been obliged to use various dilutions of wormers sold to treat pigeons and other birds. Having it in a form where one simply adds one drop per litre of aquarium water is therefore very handy. Its is critically important to repeat the dose (in my experience) if there are still visible worms after 3 days of black out. I would not advise dosing immediately, but after a huge water change (80-90%), a very thorough clean of the substrate and a few days to run your filter with carbon and feed the fish up with the best quality food you can find, remembering that any still infected fish is being robbed of most of its nutrition by the worms. You should in any case repeat the dose after three weeks regardless because you need to kill off any worms that have grown from the larval stage since the first dose. Levamisole seems not to affect the larval and juvenile stages of worms - though this probably varies with different species. So it's 1 drop per litre of aquarium water allowing for water displaced by substrate and hardscape, but remembering to add the water in your filter if you have a big external canister. I did a lot of research and Levamisole is not a very harsh drug - in the early days people were using relatively huge doses until someone figured out the ideal dose, above which there is zero benefit to going. On that basis I did my calculation quite liberally, erring on the side of being generous because you definitely dont want to under-dose this drug. So 1 drop per 1L 100 drops = 4.4ml so 1 drop = 0.044ml, which means that 0.5ml = 12 drops and 1ml = 23 drops (yes 23! It depends on when you round up or round down!) I found it most helpful to work out these volumes as I was not about to stand over a tank trying to count 185 drops! I used a syringe and then added a few drops to make up the smaller volumes. e.g. 185 litres for a 200 litre aquarium. 8ml eSHa-NDX dosed from the syringe plus 12 drops for the extra 0.5 ml My best wishes for a good outcome to anyone purchasing this product!

Arrived quickly, perfect dropper teat and easy to use. Treated a tank that contained newly purchased wild caught Corys, so wanted to ensure they were "clean". I imagine it will last a long time, so good value for money. I didn't notice any bad smell either, though it does colour your water temporarily. Make sure to remove any carbon or UV filtration before using!

Used one dose as suspected parasite/worms in my guppies; ended up not being the issue so I can’t comment on the products effectiveness. I took away one star only because there’s no dropper; the dosage said 1 drop per litre, which is hard to control because the liquid doesn’t drip out of the bottle. I had to shake it each time. Would be better if it had a proper dropper tool or something.

Amazing stuff, after reading lots of reviews and checking other brands, came back and ordered this one. Followed instructions carefully and within half an hour my little guppy was pooping out the dreadful worms. Does make the water cloudy but not a problem as saved my lil girl. Very happy fish Mum

This was recommended to me by my local Aquarium shop. The owner used to be in charge of the Aquarium oo so he really knows his stuff. He said it is the best on the market and he wouldn't use anything else. The dose is a little difficult to work out, but they do have a calculator on their website. I've used this twice over the last year, and it worked perfectly both times.

Easy to use ,fish were fine but it DOES affect your filter ,I had ammonia spike after using it

Initally kept scrolling past this product when my angel fish and betta had calamus (red worms) i tried a differnt product 2 doses as stated butit did nothing! Bought another product again treated with 2 doses as stated but yep you guessed it... didn't get rid of the calamus worms. I was at a loss and couldn't find any viable informetion that actuallly helped or worked. Back to Amazon scrolling i went and i decided to read the reviews on this product and wow I'm so glad i did! The whole bottle treated my 225L tank and i did the water change 24hours later as directed...... i haven't seen a calamus worm since!!!! Thank you to everyone who took the time to review this product and state that it worked for them with calamus worms, without them i wouldnt of to a chance and I'm so glad i did. 2 weeks later i personally decided to do another dose just incase any new eggs had hatched just so i knew a potential cycle had been broken. Happy fish and happy owner P.s Didn't kill my vampire shrimp either win win
