Kusuri Fluke S
Kusuri Fluke S

Kusuri Fluke S 

Kusuri Fluke S is a 50% Praziquantel based medication used to eradicate Gill Flukes, Body Flukes and Tape Worms. This treatment is safe to use without destroying the bacteria in the filter and can be used at any temperature. While dosing with Fluke S you can continue to feed.

This product is designed as a one off treatment, but may require a second dose after 7 days in heavy infestation. Alternatively you can use Kusuri Fluke M after 7 days.

If the mucus layer is excessive, we advise dosing with Chloramine T  at 15g per 1000 gallons, 24 hours before using Fluke S, this will assist in reducing the mucus membrane where body flukes can sometimes get trapped.

Caution: Please check your pH and KH prior to using. Chloramine T can be very toxic in soft water. If your pH is below pH7 (acid) and has a general hardness below 6°dH (soft water) reduce the dose by 75%. Do not use with salt.

For use with all cold water ornamental fish.

Please ensure that you read, understand and follow, all Health and Safety guidelines.

Please do not eat, drink or smoke whilst handling chemicals.

Wear disposable vinyl or latex gloves and appropriate eye protection.

Kusuri Topical Treatment Kit for Koi
Kusuri Topical Treatment Kit for Koi

Kusuri 8-Piece Topical Treatment Kit

Kusuri 8-Piece Topical Treatment Kit is a complete easy to use kit,  for the beginner and experienced fish keeper. For treating Ulcers, wounds and Fin Rot.

General pond medications may solve parasitic infestations but are seldom effective against physical Ulcers, wounds, Fin Rot. Treating the fish topically will be more effective and potentially life saving!

Treating wounds on fish can be just as stressful for the owner as much as the fish! There can be nothing more upsetting than an ulcer on a Koi. This kit is designed to give you a pretty good chance at repairing the damage! One or two questions you must ask yourself, is this an isolated “one off” wound or ulcer? Do other Koi show signs of ulcers? If so please, be quite sure your water quality is good. Most ulcers that break out , and fail to heal naturally, are normally a result of an underlying water quality issue. Poor water quality will severely delay any healing process especially if Ammonia or Nitrite are high.

The secret to successful treatment is to catch the problem early and do something about it. Only in exceptional circumstances will a Koi have the ability to heal without treatment. The 8-Piece Topical Treatment Kit can be used at any temperature at any time of the year, though it must be pointed out the Koi will heal quicker if the water temperature is above 15°C.

All kit components are replaceable, so you need never run short of any particular item. If there is one thing you should keep at home for your Koi this is it! This kit contains chemicals and should be stored away from children & pets.

Please ensure that you read, understand and follow, all Health and Safety guidelines on the bottle.

Please do not eat, drink or smoke whilst handling chemicals.

The Kusuri 8-Piece Topical Treatment Kit contains the following items:

  • 1 x 50ml of Kusuri Masuizai Koi Sedate
  • 1 x 50ml Kusuri Roccal Wound Cleaner
  • 1 x 50ml Kusuri Anti-Bac
  • 1 x Spare bottle
  • 1 x 25gms of Kusuri Orahesive Sealer Powder
  • 1 x 50ml Kusuri Top Coat Sealer
  • surgical gloves
  • cotton bud applicators
  • Comprehensive step by step instructions

Kusuri Pro-100
Kusuri Pro-100

Kusuri Pro-100

A number of dangerous pathogenic strains of bacteria, like Aeromonas, Pseudomonas and E.coli, can cause catastrophic fish losses in ponds through infections of wounds and ulcers.
Pro-100 is an effective preventative water treatment that does not involve anti-biotics, disinfectants or any other type of chemical products.
Pro-100 is not a direct cure for wounds and ulcers but will assist in the natural therapeutic recovery from disease and infection.
Pro-100 will reduce free-living pathogenic bacteria. It cannot directly reduce bacteria that have already penetrated skin tissue. The multiplying colonies of beneficial bacteria out compete harmful strains of pathogens, by consuming the nutrients that the pathogens require to survive and develop. Effectively, Pro-100 reduces the numbers of pathogens by occupying their living space and starving them out of the food chain and replaces the harmful bacteria with beneficial bacteria.

Dosage:

Use 5ml per 1000 ltr (220 gallons) add daily for one week. Then reduce to 10ml per 4550 ltr (1000 gallons) every 7 days thereafter.

Below 15°C double the dose to 20ml per treatment every five days.

Start up dose (daily for 7 days):

500ml treats 22,000 gallons

1 litre treats 44,000 gallons

5 litre treats 220,000 gallons

maintainance dose (once per 7 days above 15°C):

Kusuri 30 Formalin-Malachite Premix

Kusuri Formalin and Malachite Premix is a ready to use full strength formulation, popular as a pond-wide anti-parasite treatment. It is particularly good for White Spot, Skin Flukes, Chilodonella, Oodinium and most Protozoan Parasites.

How to use:

Slowly apply to the pond over a 1 hour period, this will prevent shocking the pond with a highly concentrated dose.

Once the course of treatment is complete monitor your water parameters regularly and add good bacteria to restart your filters, such as Kusuri Filter Starter Boost or Kusuri Starter Pink.

Do not use below 12.5°C.
