Fenbendazole (Panacur) is a very affective dewormer in animals. It has efficacy against some tapes, some flukes, and virtually nematodes. I haven't seen any preparations for fish, but I am sure they are out there.
Personally (although leebca may have a different opinion), I think it would be ok. However, if you are just using a shotgun approach with the hopes of killing all potential intestinal parasite, you may miss some tapes and protozoa (I don't know what the most common species are in fish).
Of course, I primarily have a mammalian perspective and things could be completely different in fish.
