View Full Version : Treat With Levamisole Before Adding Discus?

Would it be prudent to treat my 90 gallon planted tank with Levamisole prior to introducing Discus as a precaution? The reason I'm leaning towards Levamisole is that it is supposed to be safe for plants and will not mess up the bio-filter. My current stock list:
FISH
15 Neon Tetras
6 Rummy Nose Tetras
10 Golden Cloud Minnows
4 Green Corydoras catfish
4 Albino Corydoras catfish
1 small Bristlenose Pleco

PLANTS
Jungle Vallisneria
Amazon Swords
Crypts (Wendtii?)
Java Ferns
Ludwigia

Thanks in advance

Do any of the current stock show any signs of worms? If not I wouldn't treat.

No, all the fish appear healthy. I was just thinking that they could be harboring parasites that don't bother them but could sicken Discus.
Thanks for your reply.
