Macro-Parasites, Anchor Worms and Fish Lice!

Preferred regimen for macro-parasites, anchor worms and fish lice is use of Dimilin or diflubenzuron. This treatment is extremely safe for fish.

A little bit goes a long way and lasts for a long time.

“Anchors Way” by Jungle Labs contains Dimilin. Argent’s Trichloracide is also very effective against it.

  • Potassium Permanganate (PM) Regimen!

  • PM is a powerful caustic alkali that needs to be handled with care. It is inexpensive but should not be over dosed as it can kill your fish.

    Wear goggles, rubber gloves and a facemask filter.

    This material will kill most parasites, bacteria and algae by oxidizing all organic substances. To be effective in killing parasites, it must be used often enough for water to remain pink for 3 to 8 hours.
