For treatment of praziquantel-susceptible disease conditions in ornamental pond fishes.

As a bath: Start the bath treatment with as large a partial water change as possible in the pond to be treated, or start with a new water that has been conditioned with MICROBE-LIFT/XTreme. Do not stop filtration but remove activated carton and stop foam-fractionation ("protein skimming"). Add enough MICROBE-LIFT/Praziquantel to produce a dosage of 2.5 mg/L (9,4625 mg/gal; 946.25 mg/100 gal); vigorously shake the dosage with at least 1 quart of water for 3-5 minutes to produce a slurry. Pour the slurry in to a 5 gallon bucket of water and mix well. Then distribute the mixture around the edge of the pond or pour into the pond filter or skimmer to achieve maximum distribution in the water. A single treatment of 7 days is usually sufficient. Do not use any other drugs or treatments.

In feed: To each 100 grams (3.5 oz.) of dry feed (flake, granular or pellet) thoroughly mix in 400 mg of MICROBE-LIFT/Praziquantel. Moisten the dry mixture with 25 to 50 mL of grain alcohol (190? ethanol) for each 100 grams of dry feed; gently blend the moistened mixture to incorporate the Praziquantel into the feed.

For accuracy and reproducibility carefully weight dosages. However, one tablespoon is approximately 2.9 grams (=2,907.6 mg) and will treat 300 gallons (=1,1135 L).

Net weight 10 grams treats 1,000 gallons
Net weight 50 grams treats 5,000 gallons

To calculate number of gallons in the pond:

First aid help if necessary will be noted on the label.

Precautionary Statements:

CAUTION: grain alcohol is flammable! Allow the mixture to air dry (do not heat), break up any clumps, package and store in a cool, dry place. Feed the medicated feed daily for 5 to 7 days. Keep out of reach of children. For ornamental pond fish use only; not for human or veterinary medical use.
