PRODUCT Details

Aquasonic Para-Gone 25 Tablets are designed to assist in the control of a wide range of external parasites on aquarium fish. Parasitic infestations often show up as fish rubbing or scratching against rocks, wood or equipment, and can quickly lead to stress, damage to skin and fins, and secondary infections if left untreated.
Para-Gone tablets are suitable for goldfish, tropical and marine aquarium fish, and target some of the most common external parasites found in home aquariums.

What Aquasonic Para-Gone 25 Tablets Are Used For

Aquasonic Para-Gone tablets aid in the control of most external fish parasites, including:
  • Fish lice (Argulus spp)
  • Skin and gill flukes (Ergasilus spp)
  • Anchor worms (Lernaea spp)
Para-Gone can be used in freshwater and saltwater aquariums where these parasites are present.
Note: Para-Gone does not treat bacterial or viral infections – it is specifically for external parasites.

Directions & Important Use Notes

From the product details:
  • Not to be used on fish intended for human consumption
  • Fish rubbing and scratching on objects is a common sign of parasitic infestation
  • Do not overdose
  • Do not treat marine invertebrates (such as shellfish and anemones). Remove them from the aquarium before treatment and wait 5 days after the last dose before returning them
  • Para-Gone may adversely affect:
    • Plecostomus species
    • Bristlenose catfish
    • Metynnis / Silver Dollar type fish
Always follow label directions and consider moving sensitive species to a separate tank if needed.

Dosage and Administration (From Page Info, Reworded)

  • Use 1 tablet per 40 litres of aquarium water
For Fish Lice (Argulus spp) and Gill Flukes (Ergasilus spp):
  • Repeat the treatment after 7 days
  • Continue repeating at 7‑day intervals until all signs of parasites are gone
For Anchor Worms (Lernaea spp):
  • Follow the same treatment regime, but:
    • Repeat treatments at 5‑day intervals at around 25°C
    • In cooler water (around 20°C), treatments can be repeated at 12‑day intervals
During treatment:
  • It is recommended to keep the aquarium temperature around 25°C
  • Maintain the pH between 6 and 7 for best results
To calculate approximate tank volume in litres:
Multiply length x width x water level height (in cm) and divide by 1,000.
How to Add the Tablets:
  • Pre‑dissolve tablets in a disposable cup before adding to the aquarium
  • A small amount of insoluble residue may remain after dissolving – this residue is harmless to fish
  • Dispose of the used cup according to the disposal instructions on the label

Good Aquarium Practice

The product notes that high standards of aquarium management are essential:
  • Many fish diseases, including parasite outbreaks, are management related
  • Maintain good water quality, regular water changes, and avoid overcrowding
  • Consult your veterinarian or experienced aquarium dealer for accurate diagnosis and advice if you’re unsure which parasite you’re dealing with
