Flukes!

Body and gill flukes are worm-like, fatter at one end. Flukes movement is alternate, jerky elongation and contraction.

Flukes elimination will require entire pond treatment for all the fish in the pond:

  • Organophosphate for Flukes!
    • “Fluke Tabs” contains an organophosphate as its active ingredient. It is also effective against anchor worm and fish lice. Aquarium Products produces “Fluke Tabs”.

    Day 1 – Add 1 tablet per 10 gallons

    Day 2 – No treatment

    Day 3 – Add 1 tablet per 10 gallons

    Day 4 – 50% pond water change

    Day 5 – Optional 3rd tablet treatment. Two usually sufficient

    Day 6 – 50% pond water change, if 3rd treatment is necessary

  • Alternative Treatment for Flukes!


    • Argent’s Trichloracide is another organophosphate effective against flukes. 100 grams treats 8,000 gallons. It’s very cost effective treatment and highly recommended.
