Description
Aquasonic Para-Gone
Aquasonic Para-Gone Tablets are formulated to assist in the control of most external fish parasites in both freshwater and saltwater aquariums. This targeted treatment is commonly used to manage infestations such as Fish Lice, Gill Flukes and Anchor Worms, which can cause irritation, stress and long-term health issues if left untreated.
External parasites often cause fish to rub, flash or scratch against aquarium surfaces. Early identification and prompt treatment with Aquasonic Para-Gone helps limit parasite spread and supports fish recovery when combined with good aquarium management.

How to use the tablets
Pre-dissolve tablets in a disposable cup before adding to the aquarium. A small amount of insoluble residue may remain and is harmless to fish.
How to calculate aquarium volume
To calculate approximate tank capacity:
Length × Width × Water Level Height (cm)
Divide the result by 1,000 to obtain litres.
Good aquarium management matters
Maintaining stable water quality and appropriate stocking levels is essential for preventing parasite outbreaks. Many fish health issues are linked to environmental stressors.
