AquaPond Care Pond Fish Parasite Treatment is a fast and effective solution for to treat white spot, flukes and slime disease in pond fish. Its effective, concentrated and easy to use formula, eradicates fungus, fin rot and mouth rot organisms on goldfish, koi and carp.
Fish are susceptible to internal and external parasites. An obvious sign of internal parasites is when fish become very thin but still continue to feed. When your fish become lethargic, fins are clamped, thin-looking, gasping and showing signs of rubbing/irritation these are clear signs that your fish has an internal disease that requires treatment.
External parasites often cause symptoms like Slime & Velvet. The symptoms include a peppering of tiny white or gold specs across the body and a coating of excess mucus - slime - on the skin. Slime and velvet are caused by a variety of parasites which will be naturally present in small numbers on fish. In a healthy environment, the fish’s immune system will cope with these parasites however fish stress (mostly caused by bad water quality) can lead to major outbreaks of parasites. Early diagnosis and treatment of these problems is essential to prevent the infection from becoming fatal.
This treatment works against most parasites on ornamental pond fish such as White Spot (Ictyopthirius sp.); slime disease organisms (Costia sp., Chilodonella sp., Trichodina sp.); gill flukes (Gyrodactylus sp.) and body flukes (Dactyogyrus sp.).

Directions for use
- Calculate the ponds volume in litres using the following: [Length x width x average depth (in metres)] x 1000
- Shake bottle well
- Remove dosage chamber cap and foil seal, squeeze bottle until chamber is filled to the required level.
- Add 50ml for every 2273L of pond water. We recommend adding the treatment to a bucket of pond water and then evenly distributing this over the surface of the pond, or an area with high flow. This is a dye based treatment therefore water will become discoloured.
- This is a course of treatment, the pond should be treated every day at approximately the same time for 5 consecutive days.
- We recommend testing your water for any underlying water quality issues to help prevent further parasite problems.
- If necessary it is safe to repeat this course of treatment 7 days after the last day of treatment.
