EIHO Anti-Lice: The Professional Solution for Stubborn Crustacean Parasites

EIHO Anti-Lice is a high-potency, targeted treatment designed specifically to eradicate larger, visible external parasites that "hitchhike" into our tanks and ponds. It is the go-to solution for eliminating destructive crustacean parasites such as Fish Lice (Argulus) and Anchor Worms (Lernaea). While these pests are large enough to see with the naked eye, they are incredibly resilient and can cause severe physical trauma to your fish if left untreated.

This formula is engineered for use in Freshwater and Marine environments, making it a versatile tool for Goldfish, Koi, Cichlids, and even delicate Arowana. By interrupting the life cycle of these specialized parasites, Anti-Lice stops the physical damage to the fish’s scales and skin, preventing secondary infections from taking hold in the open wounds left behind by feeding pests.

Why You Need This

If you’ve noticed your fish acting "jumpy" or visible "bugs" on their skin, here is how Anti-Lice helps you reclaim your tank:

• Visible Parasites: If you see green, shield-like "scales" moving on your fish (Argulus) or thin, thread-like worms hanging from the body (Lernaea), you need a targeted strike that standard medications can't provide.

• Flashy Behavior: Parasites like lice pierce the skin to feed, causing intense irritation. If your fish are "flashing" or rubbing frantically against the gravel, they are trying to dislodge these painful invaders.

• Red Sores and Ulcers: Anchor worms dig deep into the muscle. Anti-Lice kills the parasite so the wound can begin to heal, preventing the buildup of $NO_2$ (Nitrite) stress in the fish's bloodstream.

• Sudden Lethargy: Large infestations can literally drain a fish of its energy. This treatment removes the burden, allowing your livestock to focus their energy on recovery.

• New Arrivals: Don't risk your established display. Using this in a quarantine tub ensures that no hidden eggs or larvae make it into your main system.

Instructions

Dealing with "creepy crawlies" in your tank can be stressful, but the treatment process is simple and systematic:

1. Prep your tank: Before you "add the juice," remove any activated carbon or ion-exchange resins from your filter. These will neutralize the medication. Turn off UV sterilizers and Ozone generators.

2. Measure the dose: Shake the bottle thoroughly. Add 1 capful (5ml) of Anti-Lice for every 50 liters of aquarium water.

3. The Waiting Game: For Fish Lice (Argulus), a single dose is often enough to see results. For Anchor Worms (Lernaea), keep a close eye on the tank for 5–7 days.

4. Finish the Job: Because Anchor Worms have a complex life cycle, I recommend a 25% water change after 7 days, followed by a second dose to catch any newly hatched larvae that were protected in their egg stage during the first round.

Expert Tip: Never try to manually "pull" an Anchor Worm off a fish with tweezers if you can avoid it. Their "anchor" is buried deep in the tissue; pulling can tear the muscle and cause a massive infection. Use Anti-Lice to kill the worm first—it will eventually shrivel and fall off on its own, leaving a much smaller, cleaner wound to heal!

FAQ

Is EIHO Anti-Lice safe for my cherry shrimp or snails?

No, because this product is designed to kill crustacean parasites (which are biologically similar to shrimp and crabs), it is not safe for invertebrates. If you have shrimp or ornamental snails, you must move your fish to a separate treatment tank.

Will this medication affect my live plants?

Generally, no. Anti-Lice is formulated to target the nervous system of specific parasites and does not interfere with the photosynthesis or root structure of common aquatic plants.

Does it change the color of my water?

Unlike many "blue" or "green" medications, Anti-Lice is relatively clear and will not stain your silicone, decor, or significantly discolor your water.

Is it safe for my biological filter?

Yes. This treatment is highly selective. It won't harm your beneficial Nitrosomonas or Nitrobacter bacteria, so you don't have to worry about an NH3 (Ammonia) spike during treatment.

Can I use this in my outdoor Koi pond?

Absolutely. It is very effective in larger volumes. Just ensure you calculate your pond's total volume accurately to maintain the correct concentration of the active ingredients.
