Absolute Aqua-Vet Gill Fluke+ | Targeted Treatment for Gill Flukes in Pond Fish
Absolute Aqua-Vet Gill Fluke+ is a specialist anti-parasitic treatment formulated to eliminate gill flukes (Dactylogyrus), one of the most common and harmful parasitic infections found in koi and pond fish. These microscopic flatworms attach themselves to the gills, causing irritation, inflammation, and in severe cases, respiratory distress or death if left untreated.
This powerful treatment works by breaking down the fluke’s digestive system, leading to effective parasite control and rapid fish recovery. Safe for all freshwater pond species, Gill Fluke+ is also harmless to aquatic plants and filtration bacteria, making it a reliable choice for hobbyists and professionals alike.
