Excello is a medicine for pond fish and works against unicellular parasites (protozoa):

White spot disease (Ichthyophthirius-Ich)

Trichodina

Costia

Chilodonella.

A parasite is an organism that survives at the expense of its host. Whether a parasite is harmful for your nishikigoi depends on the kind of parasite, but moreover by the immunity of the host. In the summerperiod the top five of parasites are Ich, Trichodina, Costia, Chilodonella and worms.

Dosage/Use:

600ml for 6.000 litres of pondwater. Dosage: 100 ml per 1000 liter water.

Mix Excello in a bucket of water and spread equally on the pond or quarantine Be sure to supply extra air during treatment.
The water will turn blue. This way you will be able to see the mixing of the medicine with the water. The blue colour will disappear after 1-2 days.

Supplying extra air during treatment is necessary.

Between the use of Excello and any other medicine there should be at least a twenty day waiting period.

Adding Excello can cause your fish to flash, grate or jump. As a safety measure you can either put a net over the pond or quarantin.

House Of Kata can not be held responsible for the effect or loss of fish due to inexpert or incorrect use.

Pond content:
Make sure to calculate exactly the content of your pond: length by depth by breadth.

Other animals in and around the pond.:

Orfe and sterlets can stay in the pond during treatment.

Be sure to watch your pets during treatment

Equipment:
Algae magnets (equipment that contend with algae), Carbon filter, Ozon and UV should be shut down during treatment. These are to be activated not until 3 days after the last and final treatment. Any present zeolite should be removed from your filtering system. We advise you to leave circulation filters on during treatment in order to kill any present parasite.

White spot disease (Ich):
Probably the most well-known disease, caused by protozoa with cilia all around. Ich seizes its opportunity if fish have a decreased immunity, if water temperatures change rapidly, if filtration is changed, to many cold water when filling the pond, contamination due to new fish, or if the present filtration system is not in optimal working order. Poor water quality as well as stress are very important factors

Trichodina:
This parasite mainly occurs on the skin and gills. It uses the fish for transport. During the transport it attaches itself to the fish and by doing so, damages the mucus layerof the fish.
Pond water of poor quality is a very good environment for the Trichodina parasite.

Costia:
Protozoa that can cause grey areas that after a while will turn red and in a later stadium can cause bloody wounds. Usually this wound is covered by a fungus. Sometimes Costia is found on the gills. The death rate from Costia can be very high, because bacterial infections also often occur. The fish tumbles, grates and in the later stadium will emaciate. Fish will become restless, have difficulty breathing and tend to ‘surface’ whilst gasping for breath.

Chilodonella:
Oval shaped protozoa. In case of mass infection this parasite is lethal. It mostly occurs on the gills. Transferring is the main cause of immediate outbreak. Any fish that is in weaker condition, can cause mass reproduction of this parasite.
