hey guys,

recently found 2 of my fish with fish lice on them, it was absolutelly HORRIBLE removing them from the fish but i managed to do it,i cant see anymore on the fish but they could be anywhere, anyway to treat the water without destroying my biological filter ?

thanks

Kev

Parasite Clear from jungle works great for all parasites and doesnt harm your biological filter.Its 3 dollars box.8 tablets per box.1 tablet per 10 gallons of water.You will need to do 25% water changes before adding each dose.JUst follow the directions on the back.It may take 3 to 4 doses to be sure you have eliminated all of them.

any other guys ?, ive never seen this parasite clear (im in the uk)

Kev

Hmm other ones I know of that work are Clout,Mardel Freshwater CopperSafe , as well as Dylox, Masoten, Demilin, Formalin, Malachite Green, potassium permanganate are all effective against fish lice.You should be able to find alot of these products in the UK.Formalin,potassium permanganate and malachite green being common but be careful when handle these chemicals and avoid skin or eye contact.And of course follow directions carefully.

Okay thankyou verymuch

Also if you have trouble removing the fish lice from the body a salt bath may help at about .3 % to .6 % salinity.

Keep my posted as to how theyre doing.

my fish are still fairly small, dont want to stress them too much
