Expel-P – Fritz Aquatics
$14.95
Fritz Expel-P serves as both an anthelmintic (deworming) remedy and an immunostimulant agent. It is designed for safe application in freshwater and saltwater aquariums and proves highly effective against various internal parasites, particularly nematodes, when utilized as directed. Notably, it preserves the integrity of the bio-filter, aquatic plants, other invertebrates, and uninfected fish, while also enhancing the immune response of fish.
Description
This medication targets Nematodes, Roundworms, Nodular Worms, and Hookworms. Manifestations of infestation may include visible worms protruding from the fish’s anus, signs of wasting, abdominal swelling, diminished appetite, or accelerated breathing. Furthermore, it can serve as a coral dip for addressing flatworms and pest nudibranchs.
Expel-P does not address Cestodes (tapeworms) or Trematodes (flukes). For these specific parasites, Fritz ParaCleanse is recommended.
Active Ingredient: Levamisole HCl
Directions & Dosage
Standard Treatment: Use 1 packet Expel-P per 10 gallons (38 L) of water. Perform a 25% water change taking care to remove excreted worms/parasites after 24 hours. Repeat the treatment one week later to prevent reinfection. Repeat weekly treatments as necessary. See below for instructions on treating tanks smaller than 10 gallons.
Coral Dip Directions: Use three packets Expel-P per two gallons (8 L) of salt water. Place affected corals into dip for up to 30 minutes with adequate water flow to assist in worm removal. Once worms stop falling off, the coral can be returned to display or quarantine tank. Treatment does not affect eggs – remove manually or repeat treatments after hatching. Treatment can be repeated once per week, up to three times.
