NT Labs Koi Care Formaldehyde Treatment
NT Labs Formaldehyde treats: White spot, Trichodina, Costia and Chilodonella.
When to use NT Labs Formaldehyde
When fish show symptoms of a parasitic infection, including white spots along the fins and body, flicking and rubbing, gasping at the surface, or an opaque film over the body.
Formaldehyde is highly effective at treating parasites due to its ability to penetrate through the mucus layer, reaching those parasites which would otherwise be protected from alternative bath treatments. It can also be used in conjunction with Malachite to treat protozoan parasites more effectively.
How to use NT Labs Formaldehyde
If required, mix with Malachite prior to adding to the pond, following the instructions above.
Warning:
Do not use with orfe, rudd, tench or sturgeon/sterlet. Do not use if the water temperature is above 30°C. Do not use in hot, humid, thundery conditions. Do not mix medications, other than combining with Malachite.
NT Labs Formaldehyde can be used as a dip bath to treat severe cases quickly. For the bath add 1ml to 1 gallon of pond water and bathe the fish for 1 hour. Aerate the water and watch for signs of stress.
Caution: Formaldehyde is a hazardous chemical and should be handled with great care, please read the warnings on the label carefully.
