Dimilin - controls the anchor worm parasite (Lernea) and fish lice (argulus) in water gardens, koi ponds and display tanks containing fish, including goldfish, koi and ornamental tropical fish.

Anchor worms are external copepod parasites that infest koi, goldfish and tropical fish. They are not true worms and are classified as crustaceans because their outer body is made of chitin, the same material found in crab shells.

The female anchor worm has a long body up to 25 mm long (1 inch) with anchor-like appendages at the head.

The female attaches to the fish by burrowing through the skin (males die after mating). The anchor becomes firmly embedded into the skin, muscle and organs of the fish. The adult female looks worm-like with two sacs (egg cases) that form an upside down "Y" hanging from the fish.

PondCare MelaFix is an all-natural medication derived from the leaves of "Melaleuca," the scientific name for a species of the tea tree. The healing properties of tea tree extract have been known for centuries.

University studies and extensive laboratory tests showed that MelaFix is an effective anti-bacterial remedy for pond fish. MelaFix also caused rapid repair of damaged fish tissue and fins. New growth was seen in as little as four days of treatment. The evidence led to the granting of a United States patent. International patents are pending.

Pond Care PimaFix is an all-natural medication derived from the leaves of Pimenta racemosa, the scientific name for the West Indian Bay Tree. PimaFix has powerful antifungal and antibacterial properties due to the multiple natural active compounds in PimaFix.

Disease-causing organisms are present in all ponds. Any time a physical abrasion damages fish tissue, fungal and bacterial pathogens seize the opportunity to infect the fish. Shipping, netting, and poor water quality also weaken the fish's immune system, permitting disease problems to occur. Skin and fin abrasions are an unavoidable part of fish keeping. Therefore the potential for disease problems occur with every new fish arrival, whether it is at the hatchery, fish wholesaler, pond shop, or in the pond.

Fungal infections can be seen as white fuzzy growth on the mouth, skin, and fins. PondCare® PimaFix® will stop the fungus and promote healing of damaged tissue. Bacterial infections appear as ulcers, ragged fins, and bloating. PimaFix treats internal and external bacterial infections in goldfish and koi.

Removes chlorine and chloramine from tap water. Replaces the natural slime coat of fish, helps heal wounds and reduces fish stress.

How Stress Coat works
Stress Coat contains a special polymer that is attracted to the skin of the fish, forming a synthetic slime coat envelope. Stress Coat also contains electrolytes such as sodium, magnesium and chloride, which helps reduce loss of electrolytes through the skin and damaged tissue.

The Aloe Vera in Stress Coat reduces inflammation of damaged fish tissue. Independent studies have proven that Stress Coat with Aloe Vera aids in the healing and regeneration of damaged tissue. In addition, Stress Coat removes chlorine, breaks the chloramine bond, and detoxifies heavy metals from tap water.
