sera guide - Healthy pond fish

9.5 sera med Professional Argulol 51 The innovative sera med Professional Argulol quickly and thor- oughly rids the pond from all undesirable crustaceans! Parasitic cru- staceans such as fish lice (Argulus), anchor worms, gill infecting copepods, parasitic isopods and small crustaceans that may be intermediate hosts for other parasites, often occur in ponds. They harm the pond fish by sucking their blood, among others. Besides the loss of blood, this usually leads to dangerous inflammations at the affected spots and transmits pathogens (e.g. spring viremia). Accordingly, every year numerous pond fish suffer and die after an unnoticed infection with parasitic crustaceans. Simply distribute the well tolerated, highly concentrated treatment sera med Professional Argulol in your pond as to rid your fish from this secretive pests. The crustaceans (in the water and on the fish) will be removed after just one day. The treatment is broken down biologically, therefore no remainders remain in the pond. Water changes or filtration through active carbon are thus not necessary. Repeating the treatment after about three weeks is advisable as to kill crustacean larvae that have hatched from eggs in the meantime as well. Please note that other invertebrates such as snails, mussels, crayfish, insects and their larvae do not tolerate the treatment. According to our observations, Argulol is tolerated by amphibians and plants without any problems. Sturgeons may react sensitively.
