KoiPure Praziquantel Powder is a premium, high-potency treatment designed to safeguard your koi and ornamental fish from parasitic infestations. Formulated with pure praziquantel, this professional-grade powder effectively eliminates a wide range of internal and external parasites, including flukes, tapeworms, and flatworms, restoring your koi’s health and vitality. Easy to administer and safe for pond ecosystems, KoiPure is the trusted choice for koi enthusiasts seeking fast, reliable parasite control.
Key Benefits
  • Targeted Parasite Elimination: Eradicates gill flukes (Dactylogyrus), skin flukes (Gyrodactylus), tapeworms, and other flatworms that cause scratching, lethargy, weight loss, or gill damage.
  • Safe and Effective: Formulated with pharmaceutical-grade praziquantel, ensuring maximum efficacy without harming koi, plants, or beneficial filter bacteria.
  • Versatile Application: Dissolves easily for bath treatments in ponds or quarantine tanks, making it ideal for both preventative and curative use.
  • Rapid Results: Visible improvement in koi behavior (e.g., reduced flashing or gasping) often seen within 24-48 hours of treatment.
  • Pond-Friendly: No need to bypass biological filters, preserving water quality during treatment.
When to Use
KoiPure Praziquantel Powder is ideal for koi showing signs of parasitic infection, such as excessive scratching against surfaces, clamped fins, rapid gill movement, weight loss despite normal feeding, or dull coloration. It’s also perfect for routine deworming of new or quarantined fish to prevent parasite spread in your pond. Use proactively during spring or fall to maintain optimal koi health.
How It Works
Praziquantel disrupts the nervous system and muscle function of parasites, causing paralysis and death. It is highly effective against trematodes (flukes) and cestodes (tapeworms), which are common in koi ponds. The powder dissolves quickly in water, allowing koi to absorb the medication through their skin and gills, targeting both external and internal parasites. Dead parasites are naturally expelled or filtered out, leaving your koi healthy and stress-free.
Directions for Use
  • Bath Treatment: Add 1 gram of KoiPure Praziquantel Powder per 100 gallons of pond water (or 3.75 grams per 1,000 gallons). Dissolve powder in a small amount of warm water before adding to the pond or quarantine tank.
  • Treatment Protocol: Apply once and leave in water for 5-7 days. Perform a 25% water change after treatment to remove residual medication and parasite debris. For severe infestations, repeat after 7 days, but do not exceed two treatments without consulting a fish health specialist.
  • Preventative Use: Treat new fish in a quarantine tank or apply seasonally (spring/fall) to prevent parasite outbreaks.
  • Pro Tip: Maintain water temperature between 65-80°F (18-27°C) and ensure good aeration during treatment for best results. Remove activated carbon from filters, if present, to avoid absorbing the medication.
Product Specifications
  • Sizes: 25g (treats 2,500 gallons), 50g (treats 5,000 gallons).
  • Active Ingredient: Praziquantel (pharmaceutical grade).
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place in the provided airtight container.
  • Safety: For ornamental fish only; not for human consumption. Wear gloves during handling and avoid inhalation of powder.
Precautions
  • Monitor water quality (ammonia, nitrite, pH) during treatment, as decaying parasites may temporarily increase organic load. Use a water conditioner to neutralize ammonia spikes.
  • Safe for most pond fish, but use caution with sensitive species (e.g., certain loaches). Avoid use in ponds with invertebrates like snails or shrimp, as praziquantel may harm them.
  • Do not combine with other medications (e.g., copper-based treatments) unless advised by a fish veterinarian.
  • Consult a fish health specialist for persistent infestations or if koi show signs of distress during treatment.
