Malachite Green treatment for fungus and external parasites.

External parasites such as Ichthyopthirius (White spot), Trichodina, Costia, Chilodonella, and Epistylis are frequent troublemakers in the fishpond. They live in the mucous layer of the fish and cause intense irritation as they graze on the skin cells.

Infection can be recognised as the fish secrete excess mucus, thus giving them a grey slimy appearance. In White spot infection, as the name suggests, the parasite forms small white spots that resemble table salt crystals over the surface of the fish.

All these parasitoses cause intense irritation to the fish causing them to scratch against sedentary objects in the pond, flick and thrash around and even jump out of the water, as they attempt to scratch the irritation.

This treatment is to be used when fish show fluffy white growthson the body which may contain some greenish or brownish discolouration.

Swell UK recommend the following when treating:

  • Switch off UV untill all the colour of the treatment has gone from your pond.
  • Wait 10 days after the final dose before treating with any other pond medication.
  • If you feel that a repeat dose is necessary, check your diagnosis carefully, a different medication may be more suitable.
  • Use at half dose with Formaldehyde for a stronger mixture to treat parasites.
  • DO NOT treat with water temperatures below 10 degrees or over 30 degrees.
  • If necessary, repeat the dose after 7 days, and every 7 days up to a maximum of 4 doses.
  • Remove any Carbon or Zeolite from the filter or pond.
  • Top up your filter with live bacteria as treatments damages filter bacteria.

To treat these parasitic complaints use 10 ml of Malachite Green for every 176 UK gallons of (800 L) of pond water.

The best treatment for the diseases described above is Malachite Green used in conjunction with Formaldehyde, which enhances the effect of the Malachite Green. Use 10 ml to every 352 gallons (1600 L) of pond water when used with formaldehyde.

Swell UK recommend to always read the label before use.
