Treating fish lice and anchor worms with EIHO Anti Lice in SG

Fish lice and anchor worms are crustacean parasites we most often see arriving on pond fish, goldfish and koi, and occasionally on new tropicals that skipped quarantine. Anchor worms bury their heads into the host and won’t simply brush off, leaving sores that invite secondary infection, while fish lice are flat, disc-shaped and visible moving across the body. This treatment is formulated to break their life cycle so the attached parasites are killed off rather than just dislodged.

Because these parasites have egg and free-swimming stages, a single dose rarely clears an outbreak; follow the bottle’s recommended repeat dosing to catch newly hatched larvae. We strongly advise removing activated carbon before treating, keeping aeration high in our warm 27-29C water, and where practical treating in a separate tank. Quarantining every new pond or tank fish is the single best way to keep these parasites out of an established system in the first place.

It belongs to our conditioners and medication range. Confirm the parasite with our anchor worm treatment guide and parasite identification guide, and prevent future cases with our quarantine protocol.
