Microbe Lift Lice and Anchor Worm Treatment Fish Medication 4 oz.

I ordered this medication to help kill anchor worm and it exceeded my expectations. It killed the parasite faster than I expected. As others have said, the results came as early as one week. I no longer saw my betta itch. It helped him immensely, as he was extremely miserable. The problem started when I had accidentally introduced new plants that I had ordered online and did not quarantine them. Five to six days after I had placed them in my aquarium, I noticed my betta looked very irritated and was scratching his body on rocks and anything sharp in the aquarium. At first I did not know what the problem was, until I saw very small parasites hanging off the side of his skin. So that is when I did my research and found out what this parasite was. It’s not a true worm but a crustacean that sucks the blood of your fish. I was desperate to help get rid of it. Since my aquarium is heavily planted, I could not use salt. I was forced to use another solution and that is when I found this product. I bought it based on the positive reviews and I wasn’t sure if it would work as quickly as it did. To my surprise, my betta stopped itching against objects the first week I started the dose. As the bottle states, you must use at least three consecutive doses at one dose per week. I’ve already finished with each of the doses and I see no signs of anchor worm. My betta is back to his healthy self again and he’s happy and so am I! I highly recommend this medication for anyone who wants to kill anchor worm super fast!

I was skeptical since fish lice (argulus?) are so resistant to medicated treatments, but after 4 treatments, following directions exactly on the bottle, I have not seen anymore lice on my orandas. Everyone did well during and after the treatments, and my pond plants and bog filter plants are doing well as well as the snails so it appears to be mostly safe for those. Didn’t seem to negatively affect the clarity of the pond water or filter functions. Hope never to have to use it again but glad to know it works if I do!

The listing says use one ounce in 300 gallons. The bottle says 5 ml per 20 gallons. That is a big difference!

This product contains Cyromazine, and insecticide/anti parasitic chemical (same active ingredient as products like cyropro from hikari.) You need to understand how to use Cyromazine correctly (and it’s limitations) to get good results. Cyromazine does not attack all parasites at all life stages. It will not kill everything in one go. You will need multiple treatments to kill an infestation of say, anchor worms. There are other chemicals will similar purposes and somewhat similar mechanisms of action (such as diflubenzuron, sold under the name dimillin x for aquarium use.) Anyways, I was very happy to find this version of Cyromazine for around 10 dollars and next day shipping. I needed a product quickly and none of the pet stores around me carried it. Many of the other products I found online had shipping that would have easily been a week or more. So again, the availability, shipping speed, and the price point were wonderful.

Great product.....fast shipping.....highly recommended seller !!
