Koi Care - Argusol

Treats: Fish lice (Argulus), anchor worm (Lernaea) and other crustacean parasites.

When to use?
When fish have large external parasites, Argusol is an easy-to-use suspension of diflubenzuron, a powerful anti- crustacean medication.

How to use?

Test your water quality using NT Labs Test Kits.
Shake the bottle well before use. Mix the appropriate dosage in a bucket of clean pond water, pour evenly over the surface of the pond and leave for 7 days. Switch off UV filtration for 10 days from adding the medication. Aerate the pond well during treatment.
If you feel a repeat dose is necessary, check your diagnosis carefully using the Diagnosis Tool; a different medication may be more suitable. Allow 7 days after medicating and perform a partial water change before re- treating or treating with another medication.
Always treat when you have time to observe fish and take appropriate action in the unlikely event of a bad reaction.

Warning:
Do not use at water temperatures below 10°C or above 30°C. Do not use in hot, humid or thundery weather.
Do not mix with other medications.
