Absolute Aqua-Vet Chilodonella+ | Advanced Pond Parasite Treatment
Absolute Aqua-Vet Chilodonella+ is a professional-strength pond treatment specifically formulated to target Chilodonella, a microscopic, single-celled parasite that can cause serious harm to ornamental pond fish—especially during colder months when immune systems are suppressed.
Although Chilodonella often appears in clean ponds, it thrives by attaching to fish and feeding on bacteria and microorganisms in the water. Left untreated, infestations can cause severe gill damage, lethargy, and secondary infections. Fortunately, Aqua-Vet Chilodonella+ is a reliable solution to help restore your pond’s health.
