PineSong Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 I have two QT tanks side by side. My plan was to give both their first dose of Expel-P today. After putting the first dose in one tank, I got distracted by a ruckus/dog brawl in the other room and when I came back I treated the other. Then I realized I might have put them both in one tank. I literally could not recall. Should I do a water change, or is two packets in a 10gallon not going to hurt the fish? Anyone know? Okay, once I was done panicking I looked it up on the Fritz website and they say Overdosed? Expel-P is very safe and should not have any adverse effects. Perform a water change if distress is observed So I will follow that guideline and watch the tank closely. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colu Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 I don't think you fish will have any problems from what I have read on levamisole just monitor them closely and do a water change if you notice any signs of destress and they should be fine 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quikv6 Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 I also don't believe you will have any issues with an "overdose". I have dosed, and then added more to food twice in that same day. No issues. The only other thing I can add is that recently I have had 2 really stubborn cases of wasting/sunken belly. I am not sure if that is what you are treating, but in both cases Levamisole did not yield any positive results. I switched to Flubendazole both times, and both times yielded positive results after the first day. That may or may not be applicable here, but just wanted to mention it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PineSong Posted September 19, 2021 Author Share Posted September 19, 2021 Thank you both. So far, the fish seem okay. A good lesson that I need to pay more attention to what I'm doing and not be on autopilot when I'm medicating and dog sitting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
