So if i have 10%, then I would need to use about 5 ml to get about a half dose to start with, since one gram equates to one milliliter.

If 1 g = 222 mg, and I have a 10% solution equating to 22.2 mg per milliliter, and since I want to use a half dose initially then I want 111 mg, then 0.5 ml.

I hope my math is correct.

I think I'm gonna pull out at least 4-6 adults of breeding age and transfer them to another tank that will house CPDs and Ember tetras. If this chemical method backfires, I'll start another colony.

Hey ppl, I was just talking to my wife about some of my posts on here and I saw this one and realized that I never updated you guys on this experiment.

The Panacur worked. It worked really well too. No issues with the shrimp and all the planaria died. I dosed it at half the recommended strength, I think and it took a few days but all the pests died off. So it seems that the suspension agent in the Panacur wasn't an issue.

I know this is a bit old, but I really cannot recommend the fenbend enough. I have a bit of an on going experiment right now having to do with planaria and left over food. It has been two months since I broke down my 10 gallon with a planaria problem. No food, no filter, no light, no plants. There are still many many planaria all over! Just kill the buggers don't try food control unless you kill them off first.
