Product Information

Full details

Kusuri Fluke-M is a professional-grade pond medication specifically formulated for fish keepers needing to treat Gill and Body Flukes in cold water ornamental and tropical freshwater fish. Its primary benefit is a highly targeted action that eradicates parasites without disrupting your pond's biological filter or requiring you to stop feeding your fish. Please note that for heavy infestations, a second application after seven days may be necessary, and proper identification of the parasite via microscope is recommended before re-treatment.

FAQs

Can I keep my UV light on?

No, you must turn off your UV sterilizer during the treatment as it will interfere with the medication.

Is it safe for my biological filter?

Yes, Kusuri Fluke-M is designed to be safe for beneficial filter bacteria.

Do I need to stop feeding my fish?

No, you may continue feeding your fish as normal throughout the treatment process.

What is the recommended dosage?

The standard dosage is 11.8g per 1000 gallons of pond water.

Is this product safe to use with salt?

Yes, Fluke-M is fully compatible with pond water that contains salt.

What should I do if the infestation is severe?

A second dose may be required after 7 days, or you can switch to using Kusuri Fluke-P for the second treatment.

Troubleshooting

Excessive mucus on fish

Apply Kusuri Chloramine-T 12 hours prior to the Fluke-M treatment to reduce the mucus membrane.

Treatment seems ineffective after one week

Check for heavy infestation levels; a second dose or an alternative treatment like Kusuri Fluke-P may be required.

Unsure if flukes are still present

Perform a professional mucus scrape and check under a microscope for parasite identification.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before starting, ensure your UV system is switched off, as this can degrade the medication.

  1. Shake the sachet well before opening to ensure even distribution of the active ingredients.
  2. Measure the exact dose (11.8g per 1000 gallons).
  3. Dissolve the measured powder into a container of boiling water.
  4. Stir thoroughly and allow the solution to cool completely.
  5. Slowly add the cooled mixture to the pond's return flow over the course of one hour.

Keep the product stored in a cool, dry place. While the product has a four-year shelf life when sealed, once opened, it must be used within three months. Always perform a mucus scrape and use a microscope to confirm the presence of flukes before deciding on a second application after seven days.
