The Levamisole HCL I get is in the form of a somewhat sandy-textured powder. Grittier than sugar, not as gritty as filter sand. I get it from my Farmer's Co-op. It is actually made for goats, however, it is the purest I can get here in deepest darkest Arkansas. It dissolves thoroughly in water, leaving almost no sediments. Perfect for putting in the tank without having to strain for sediment. It doesn't even change the water clarity.
I bought pure levamisole from "Loaches Online" a couple of weeks ago. It was almost powder, or very fine sugar. You buy it by the gram. 1 gram treats 100 gallon. You have to "eyeball" the med and divide it according to the size of your quarantine tank, but it is really easy to do. I have a 20 gal quarantine tank, so I divided the med into 5 equal doses using a razor blade and bagged the individual doses and labeled them. 1 gram costs $5.00 and that includes shipping. Not bad. I don't know how to highlight their site on here so you can just click on it, sorry. Hope this helps.
Is the color of the levamisole like salt?Quote:

The other one survived because I jerked it out and threw it in another tank with clean water but it was floating on its back when I found her.Quote:

ouch.. i got mine from joe gargas
That is who I was told to get it from but didn't. I did a treatment with the vermisol and was going to do a follow up treatment a week later but ran out so I had to order more. I am not sure what they sold me and why this placed pulled all of its other auctions off line.Quote:

Personally, I'd never purchase anything from ebay. You could get sodium chloride granules instead of lavimasole. Be careful next time. If you're in doubt, then do not use it to be safe than be sorry. If you really want to use it, then try to treat only one least favorite fish (I'm evil here).
What is levimasole hci? What is it used for? Also where can I purchase pure metronidazole?
