Aquasonic Para-Gone Tablets is a targeted treatment designed to control external parasites like fish lice, gill flukes, and anchor worms in both freshwater and fish-only marine aquariums. A trusted solution for aquarists facing visible signs of parasitic infestations or behavioral indicators like flashing or rubbing.

Use with caution on Plecostomus, Bristlenose catfish, and Silver Dollars.

Features & Benefits

  • Broad-Spectrum Parasite Control - Effectively targets Argulus spp. (fish lice), Ergasilus spp. (gill flukes), and Lernaea spp. (anchor worms).
  • Convenient Tablet Dosage - No need to measure liquids — just 1 tablet per 40L makes treatment simple and mess-free.
  • Adjustable Regimen - Flexible dosing intervals depending on parasite type and temperature conditions.
  • Suitable for Freshwater and Fish-Only Marine Aquariums - Can be safely used in non-reef saltwater tanks with adjusted dosage.

When to Use

  • Fish are scratching, rubbing or showing stress.
  • Visible signs of lice, worms, or flukes.
  • Quarantine treatment for new or wild-caught fish.

How to Use

  • Standard Dosage: Use 1 tablet per 40L of aquarium water. Repeat dose after 7 days.
  • For Anchor Worms: Repeat treatment every 5 days until all adults are eradicated.
  • For Cold Water Tanks: Increase dosing interval to every 12 days.
  • Marine (Fish-Only) Tanks: Due to higher pH, reduce dosage to 1 tablet per 160L.
  • Maintain temperature around 25°C and pH between 6.0–7.0 during treatment.
  • Pre-dissolve tablets in a disposable cup before addition to the aquarium water.
