NT Acriflavin treatment for bacterial ailments
All ponds will contain billions of minute bacteria. These include helpful species that
breakdown the toxic fish waste in the biological filter system, and convert it into nitrate,
which is then taken up by the plants.
However, there are also other bacteria that live in the pond that are opportunistic invaders of stressed and wounded fish, including the
species Pseudomonas and Aeromonas which will infect any cut or abrasion on the surface
of the fish, and can also invade the host across the gut wall during gastro-intestinal problems.
Acriflavin, when added to the pond, will reduce the numbers of these opportunistic bacteria
in the pond, thus lowering not only the chance of infection, but also the intensity of disease in already infected ponds.
Acriflavin is ideal to use in hospital or quarantine tanks, but it is unwise to constantly add the treatment to the pond when the fish are healthy. This is because a background level of bacteria is essential for healthy fish to maintain their immune system.
Before treating with Acriflavin:
Remove adsorbent filter material - carbon, zeolite etc.
Switch off UV
Increase Aeration
Allow plenty of time to observe fish
Do not mix medications
Leave 10 days between treatments if no improvement is seen
Dosage:
250mls treats 2000 gals (9092 ltrs)
500mls treats 4000 gals (18184 ltrs)
1 litre treats 8000 gals (36200 ltrs )
2.5 litres treats 20000 gals (90920 lts)
A single dose should be sufficient. If not, wait 10 days before adding a second dose.

NT Labs B-D-S Fluke Treatment
The skin and gill flukes Dactylogryus Sp. and Gyrodactylus Sp. are notoriously difficult to treat directly in the pond. This is because they are protected by the natural mucus layer on the fish and by causing the fish to produce more mucus by irriating the skin and gills.
There is also some evidence that some species of these parasites are resistant to some regulary used treatments.
Successful treatment depends upon ingredients which can penetrate the mucus and reach the parasites.
B-D-S fluke treatment provides a well tried and tested formulation which treats both skin and gill flukes as well as bacterial diseases such as fin rot or tail-rot and ulcers in a strength sufficient to treat large ponds easily.
The correct dose of B-D-S fluke treatment does not affect the filter bacteria or plants and persists in the water long enough to destroy the various stages of parasite which may otherwise remain to re-infect treated fish.
Before treating with B-D-S:
Remove adsorbent filter material - carbon, zeolite etc.
Switch off UV
Increase Aeration
Allow plenty of time to observe fish
Do not mix medications
Leave 10 days between treatments if no improvement is seen
Dosage:
Add 10ml of B-D-S to every 80 gallons (363L) of pond water

NT Labs Permanganate Dip
Powerful Parasite, Fungus and Bacterial Bath Treatment
A dip treatment for Koi and other pond fish. active against parasite, fungus and bacteria, Permanganate Dip also cleans the water by destroying dissolved organic material.
In the process, the active permanganate is also destroyed, making the water brown instead of pink.
For this reason we advise the use of this product as a dip where the concentrated solution is diluted in clean water and, therfore, retains its strength throughout the treatment time.
As a dip it is excellent at cleaning ulcers and wounds and destroying any parasites and bacteria which may be eating away at the wound
During the dip treatment any Argulus fish lice will drop off the fish, thus removing another source of stress and illness.
The long term bath treatment of 3 ppm is close to the toxic level for fish and, if the water is clean and free from organic matter (unlikely in a normal pond), it is possible to overdose. If fish become stressed whilst being treated, milk can be added to the water to reduce the permanganate level. Hydrogeon peroxide can also be used and will provide extra oxygen as well.
These are other reasons for preferring the dip treatment.
When added to the pond at 1 ppm, permanganate Dip will reduce the organic load in the water making more oxygen available for the fish by reducing the chemical oxygen demand of the water
The skin of the fish under dip treatment may appear brown, this is because the mucus on the skin has neutralised some of the permanganate. It is harmless and will soon disappear.
Dosage
Add 10ml to 88 gallons (400 litres for a 1 ppm pond cleaning treatment.
add 10ml to 9 gallons (40 litres) for a 10 ppm 30 minute bath treatment.
