Manaus-Aquarium LEVAMICIL is a solution for adding to aquarium water.

Areas of application: Nematodes are mainly found in the intestine and abdomen of Fish. LEVAMICIL is highly effective against diseases caused by worms from the camallanidae (e.g.: viviparous worms such as Camallanus cotti), trichuridae (e.g. egg-laying worms such as Capillaria sp.), and oxyuridae (e.g. intestinal worms in discus) families. The intestinal wall of the affected fish gets irritated by the parasitic worms, respectively gets perforated, resulting in infections and death of the affected animals. Through the mass occurrence of these parasites as food competitor, nutrients are thus removed from the fishes body and an insufficient supply of the infected animals is the result.
