Blue Planet Paracide Tablets are an effective treatment for external parasite infestations in both freshwater and saltwater aquarium fish. Each tablet contains 20 mg of Trichlorfon, an anticholinesterase compound, which targets parasites such as anchor worms (Lernaea spp.), skin and gill flukes (Dactylogyrids and Gyrodactylids), and fish lice (Argulus spp.) Key Features: Active Ingredient: Trichlorfon 20 mg per tablet. Target Parasites: Effective against anchor worms, skin and gill flukes, and fish lice. Suitable for: Freshwater and saltwater aquarium fish. Not Effective Against: Bacterial and viral infections. Usage Instructions: Dosage: Use 1 tablet per 40 liters of aquarium water. Preparation: Pre-dissolve the tablet in a disposable cup before adding it to the aquarium. Temperature: Maintain water temperature below 27°C during treatment. Filtration and Aeration: Keep normal filtration and aeration running. Repeat Treatment: Administer a second dose after 7 days to prevent re-infestation. Water Changes: Not necessary between or after treatments, as Trichlorfon breaks down in water. Residue: A small amount of cellulose residue may be visible after dissolving tablets; this is harmless to fish. Precautions: Not for use on fish intended for human consumption. Do not overdose. Do not treat marine invertebrates (e.g., shellfish and anemones); remove them from the aquarium and reintroduce 5 days after the last treatment. For aquarium enthusiasts in Australia, Blue Planet Paracide Tablets are available through various online retailers including Fish Hut Aqua. Please ensure to follow the usage instructions carefully to maintain the health and safety of your aquatic life.
