Aquasonic Para-Gone 25 Tabs – Antiparasitic treatment for freshwater aquariums
Aquasonic Para-Gone 25 Tabs (SKU: AQS09) is a tablet-form antiparasitic medication formulated to eliminate internal and external parasites in freshwater aquarium fish. It targets troublesome parasites including anchor worm (Lernaea), fish lice (Argulus), gill flukes, skin flukes (Gyrodactylus), anchor worms and tapeworms. Pre-measured tablet dosing makes application straightforward, delivering precise medication directly to the water column without mess or guessing liquid volumes.
It is suitable for use in freshwater and fish-only marine aquariums; it is a good choice when fish show visible parasites or stress behaviours like flashing or rubbing against surfaces.
Caution: Use carefully with a few aquatic animals like Plecostomus, Bristlenose catfish, and Silver Dollars.
Usage & Application
When to Use
-
External Parasite Outbreaks: Treat visible anchor worms, fish lice attached to scales, or flukes causing rapid gill movement.
-
Internal Worm Infections: Apply when fish show signs of internal parasites, such as wasting, white stringy feces, or abdominal swelling.
-
New Fish Quarantining: As a preventative or treatment option in quarantine tanks to cleanse newly acquired or wild-caught fish of hidden parasites before introducing them to display aquariums.
How to Use
-
Remove activated carbon and turn off UV sterilisers prior to treatment.
-
Dosage Rate: For standard treatment, add 1 tablet per 50 L of aquarium water and repeat the dose after 7 days.
For anchor worm treatment or tapeworm treatment, re-dose every 5 days until all adult parasites are eliminated.
For Cold Water Aquariums, extend the dosing interval to every 12 days.
For marine (fish-Only) aquariums, reduce the dosage to 1 tablet per 160 litres due to its higher pH levels. -
Pre-dissolve tablets in a small container of aquarium water before adding to high-flow areas of the tank.
-
Leave treatment in the aquarium for 3 to 5 days, then perform a 25% to 30% water change.
-
Repeat dosage after 7 to 10 days to target newly hatched parasites from remaining eggs.
- Maintain water temperature at approximately 25°C and pH between 6.0 and 7.0 during treatment.
