The Vetark Lice-Solve is designed for koi and ornamental fish keepers dealing with external parasites like fish lice (Argulus) and gill maggots (Ergasilus). Its key benefit is a quick and effective elimination of these pests with minimal disruption to the pond environment. A primary consideration is the need for good oxygenation during treatment. This medicated treatment, formerly known as Mectinsol, is a veterinary-formulated, licensed medicine manufactured in the UK.

Vetark Lice-Solve is specifically formulated to treat external parasites such as Argulus (fish lice) and Ergasilus (gill maggots).
Good oxygenation is critical. The medication can affect dissolved oxygen levels, so ensure your aeration system is running at its maximum capacity throughout the treatment period to prevent fish stress.
It is generally not recommended to use Lice-Solve with other water treatments simultaneously unless specifically advised by a veterinarian or the product's detailed instructions.
Vetark Lice-Solve is the new name for the product formerly known as Mectinsol. It is the same veterinary-formulated treatment.

Lice-Solve is designed for koi and ornamental fish. While generally safe when used as directed, it is always advisable to research compatibility with specific species or sensitive inhabitants if unsure.
Immediately increase aeration and perform a partial water change. Ensure the correct dosage was used and that oxygen levels are sufficient.
Consult the product instructions for re-treatment intervals. Some parasites may require a second application. Ensure the dosage was correct for the pond volume.
Ensure the water used for dissolving is at pond temperature. Stir thoroughly until dissolved. Some fine sediment may remain, which is normal.
