Description

Extensive research has resulted in the creation of Fluke-Solve Plus®, a product which has been specially developed for the treatment of the resistant flukes which are now causing serious problems in Koi Carp.

Fluke-Solve Plus® uses a combination of the well-tried technology of Fluke-Solve®, which is a special formulation of praziquantel which easily and rapidly dissolves in ponds and tanks, combined with nitroscanate and emamectin benzoate – you can see it dispersing through the water as soon as you add it to your pond.

It can be used in the presence of salt when added as a therapeutic. Fish can be fed normally during treatment. 

Fluke-Solve Plus® is safe with biofilters and plants.

Dosage and how to use

Use at a rate of 4g powder per 1000 litres (220 gallons) of pond water. Simply take a clean container of the pond water and add the required dosage of Fluke-Solve Plus® to it, then stir. Immediately add this stock solution to the pond, and then rinse out the container with the pond water and add that as well. 

If necessary a separate tank can be used to treat the fish for a treatment period of at least 48 hours.

• Take care to turn off protein skimmers and foam fractionators while it is in use since they will remove the praziquantel from the water, as will modern filtration systems which use carbon derivatives or other absorbant materials or liquids which are used to detoxify the pond water and some drum filter technologies. 
• Turn off UV for at least 48 hours and up to 7 days if possible.

In the case of some rare resistant egg-laying flukes repeat the initial dose after 3 weeks to ensure the active ingredients are in the water long enough to kill any hatching fluke larvae and break the cycle of infection.
