#1 Argulus Medication
Argulidae, the fish lice family, is well adapted to a variety of environments, including both marine and freshwater systems.
Even carefully built and maintained garden ponds that are kept healthy can become infected, though the fish louse is less common than other aquatic
parasites.
Contrary to the implication of their name, fish lice are not related to lice, which are insects, but instead are parasitic copepods. They’re more closely related to shrimp and crabs than to lice or insects.
This Medication will not harm pond plants or wildlife.

Absolute Aqua-Vet Argulus+
Is an effective medication when used to target treat a specific parasite species.
Absolute Aqua-Vet Argulus+ Is a powerful chitin inhibitor. Absolute Aqua-Vet Argulus+ works by interfering with the development of the new chitin exoskeleton. So that the parasite will continue to feed and develop normally until it is time to shed its old exoskeleton it is at this point that the parasites
die due to the inability to form a new exoskeleton and mouthparts not being able to form resulting in its death.
