Pond Care Formalin - 16 oz.
Formalin: Controls fish parasites in ornamental fish ponds ... Controls white spot disease (ich), gill flukes and many other harmful external parasites ... Safe for koi and goldfish ... Non-toxic to plants and biological filters when used as directed.
Most fish parasites are too small to be seen without the aid of a microscope.
Parasitic infestation can nevertheless be detected by observing certain unusual
behaviors in pond fish. Because parasites often attack the gill area and
interfere with fish respiration, parasitized pond fish affected by parasites can
be seen to either sit motionless on the pond bottom or hang near the surface at
waterfalls or fountains. Fish exhibiting this behavior can suffocate due to gill
damage if not treated promptly. External parasites can also irritate the skin of
fish, causing damage that may lead to secondary bacterial and fungal infections
of the body and tail. Hyperactivity and darting behavior are often associated
with this problem; fish may also scratch against objects in the pond. Pond Care
FORMALIN is a safe, effective treatment for external parasites that infest koi
and goldfish. Early treatment is essential for success. In some instances,
however, heavily infested pond fish may not be able to recover despite
treatment. Damage to the gills, secondary infections and stress to the immune
system can prevent recovery. Parasites controlled by FORMALIN include: White
spot disease (Ichthyophthirius multifilis) ... Costia (Ichthyobodo) ...
Trichodina ... Chilodonella ... Gill flukes (Dactylogyrus) ... Body flukes
(Gyrodactylus)
