Aquarium Smiths Fish Dewormer
Aquarium Smiths Fish Dewormer is a safe remedy against fish worms.
Owning an aquarium brings an undeniable charm to any space. Watching your fish gracefully move and play adds serenity to your daily life. Yet, behind this calm exterior, your aquatic pets may be battling silent invaders - internal parasites. Enter the game-changing solution: Aquarium Smiths Fish Dewormer Treatment. This remedy, developed by Aquarium Smiths, has been crafted after rigorous research and development to ensure that your fish lead a healthy, parasite-free life.
At the heart of the Aquarium Smiths Fish Dewormer Treatment formula is an anthelmintic agent, specifically designed to combat a wide range of internal parasites. Nematodes, often the most notorious of the lot, meet their match when faced with our dewormer. What sets the Aquarium Smiths Fish Dewormer Treatment apart is its dual-absorption mechanism. Whether ingested or absorbed through the skin, the active ingredient penetrates the fish's system efficiently. This ensures comprehensive coverage, making sure no worm can evade its action.
The method of action? Our Aquarium Smiths Fish Dewormer Treatment targets the worm's neurotransmitters, inducing spastic paralysis. Unable to function, these intruders are then naturally expelled from the fish's system. The process is swift and effective. Within a short span of 3-4 hours, the medication is absorbed systemically. By the third day, approximately 70% of the dewormer will have been expelled from your fish's system. This rapid processing highlights the safety of our formulation, ensuring your fish isn't exposed to lingering chemicals.
While potent against parasites, Aquarium Smiths Fish Dewormer Treatment is extremely gentle on the broader aquatic ecosystem. Whether you've cultivated a rich tapestry of plants, house sensitive invertebrates, or have a mix of infected and uninfected fish, our dewormer integrates seamlessly. It respects the bio-filter, ensuring that the delicate balance of your aquarium remains undisturbed.
Additionally, the Aquarium Smiths Fish Dewormer Treatment offers an immune competence boost. In simpler terms, not only does it free your fish from parasites, but it also strengthens their natural defense system. A double win!
One detail to note is the dewormer's non-ovicidal nature. It won't harm any eggs that may be present. However, it efficiently targets the larval stage of worms, ensuring a comprehensive eradication process. For best results, a secondary treatment post-hatching is recommended.
Achieving the best results from Aquarium Smiths Fish Dewormer Treatment requires a strategic approach.
Here's a detailed step-by-step guide:
1. Dosage Determination: Understand the volume of your tank and choose the right dosage.

- Shrimp: 1 ml (or 20 drops) for every 100 litres of water.
2. Darkened Environment: Keep the aquarium lights off for a full 24 hours post-treatment. This helps in the optimal working of the dewormer.

Aquarium Fish Dewormer – Aquarium Smiths Internal Parasite Treatment
Aquarium fish dewormer from Aquarium Smiths is a safe, effective anthelmintic (anti-worm) treatment that clears internal parasites and worms from freshwater and marine aquariums. It targets nematodes such as Camallanus, Capillaria and Contracaecum while staying gentle on your fish, live plants, shrimp and biological filter.

What is an aquarium fish dewormer?
An aquarium fish dewormer is a medication that eliminates internal worms — most commonly nematodes (roundworms) — that quietly rob your fish of nutrients and colour. Aquarium Smiths Fish Dewormer was developed after rigorous research to give aquarists a reliable, fish-safe worm treatment for both tropical and marine tanks.
How Aquarium Smiths Fish Dewormer works
The active anthelmintic agent is absorbed through the gut and skin and distributed through the fish's body, where it targets the worm's neurotransmitters and causes spastic paralysis. The paralysed worms are then expelled naturally.
- Dual-absorption action — works whether ingested or absorbed through the skin.
- Fast & systemic — absorbed within 3–4 hours; about 70% is cleared from the fish within three days.
- Gentle on the tank — safe for the bio-filter, live plants, invertebrates and uninfected fish.
- Immune boost — strengthens your fish's natural defences as it treats.
- Two sizes — 30ml treats up to 1,500 litres, 100ml treats up to 5,000 litres.
How to deworm your aquarium fish — step by step
- Dose 1 ml (20 drops) per 50 litres for fish, or per 100 litres for shrimp.
- Keep the aquarium lights off for 24 hours after dosing.
- Do a 30% water change and vacuum the gravel to remove paralysed worms.
- Repeat after 4 days, then again after 2 weeks.
- Re-treat every 2 months or whenever you introduce new fish.
Which worms and parasites it treats
Aquarium Smiths is especially effective against internal nematodes (roundworms) such as Camallanus, Capillaria, Eustrongylides and Contracaecum, which are common across many fish species. It acts on the larval stage but is non-ovicidal — it won't destroy eggs — so a follow-up dose after the eggs hatch ensures complete eradication. Ornamental snails (Mystery, Nerite and Rabbit snails) are sensitive and should be removed during treatment.
