NT Labs Koi Care - Acriflavin 500ml
NT Labs Koi Care is an anti bacterial and anti septic treatment for bacteria ailments in Koi fish, specially designed by NT Labs. The 500ml solution of medication will treat 18,000 litres of pond water and once added to the pond, will reduce the numbers of these opportunistic bacteria, thus lowering not only the chance of infection, but also the intensity of disease in already infected ponds.
NT Labs Koi Care Acriflavin is ideal to use in hospital or quarantine tanks, but it is unwise to constantly add the treatment to the pond when the fish are healthy. This is because a background level of bacteria is essential for healthy fish to maintain their immune system.
All ponds will contain billions of minute bacteria. These include helpful species that breakdown the toxic fish waste in the biological filter system, and convert it into nitrate, which is then taken up by the plants. However, there are also other bacteria that live in the pond that are opportunistic invaders of stressed and wounded fish, including the species Pseudomonas and Aeromonas, which will infect any cut or abrasion on the surface of the fish, and can also invade the host across the gut wall during gastro-intestinal problems.
Before treating with Acriflavin:
Remove adsorbent filter material - carbon, zeolite etc.
Switch off UV
Increase Aeration
Allow plenty of time to observe fish
Do not mix medications
Leave 10 days between treatments if no improvement is seen
Dosage: A single dose should be sufficient. If not, wait 10 days before adding a second dose.. Add 10 ml of Acriflavin to every 80 gallons (363 L) of pond water.
