Description: Cloverleaf Absolute Wormer Plus is a Flubendazole-based medication, with added pH buffer is the most effective against outbreaks of Gill Flukes (Dactylogyrus), Skin Flukes (Gyrodactylus), Intestinal Helminths (including Tapeworm, Nematodes- “Roundworms”, Planaria- “Flatworms”, Capillaria, Camallanus Nematodes, Metacercaria, Sanguinicola), Hexamita, Anchor Worm (Lernea) and Fish Lice (Argulus). This is a ready-mixed formula for the treatment of internal parasites, worms, flukes and protozoa like Hexamita that affect tropical & cold water fish.

Flubendazole is the effective main active ingredient, & works differently to other Fluke treatments by gently starving the parasite; making this product perfectly safe for regular usage. Naturally sourced Calcium Carbonate is blended in & acts as a gentle booster and ‘pick me up’ after the pests are killed. A minuscule amount of Natural Calcium carbonate (0.01g) is blended with the Flubendazole to adjust a very slight drop in pH from adding the Flubendazole. This cleverly balances out this medication making very little (if any) difference to pH when using wormer plus.

Use when: Fish start to show signs of weight loss although maintaining a healthy appetite. Fish may appear lethargic with loss of colour. Often fins remain clamped, and they may flick/rub. They may also spend unusual amounts of time at the surface.

Cloverleaf’s Pro-strength formula rapidly reduces gut parasite burden on fish in fresh water. Discus had a bad name as a difficult fish to keep, some said imposable. NOT SO, just misunderstood. As long as they have the right conditions & free of parasites they are just as easy to keep as any other tropical fish.  Discus keeping in the old days was regarded as a fish shrouded in mystery, and difficult to keep. Just to be kept by the experts and the highly experienced. It is recommended to worm your discus once a month for trouble free discus keeping and this will give them a flying start if introducing new stock. Now keeping your favourite tropical fish has never been easier.

We highly recommend to treat Discus and other aquarium fish once a month with Cloverleaf Absolute Wormer Plus to keep your valued Discus & fish in tip top health.

Description: Discus Protector by Discusfood prevents the risk of infection by new fish of external origin. Fish from different systems are carrier of different pathogenic germs. Mixing fish from different origins, may cause so-called “X-contamination”. Often the entire old fish stock falls ill. Correctly used, Discus Protector prevents the spread of such a disease in about 95% of all cases. Your valuable fish stock will be protected. It is a carefully balanced mixture of high-quality anti-bacterial acting substances, which are embedded in a natural carrier substance.
How to use: Dissolve the entire content of one package in a clean bucket containing water. The new arrivals must be bathed BEFORE they come into contact with the old fish population. Discus Protector acts as a preventive, before disease occurs. Do not use on crustaceans and other invertebrates.

1. Hold ready a cleaned empty container (e.g. a water bucket) suitable for 10 liters of water nearby
   the aquarium.
2. Have ready a suitable net to catch and move fish.
3.  Prepare a timekeeper like a stopwatch, smartphone timer etc. for exact adherence to treatment
   duration.
4. Acclimate the fish which are to be treated, to water of the new environment, as by temperature
   adjustment and water exchange in the transport bags.
5. Fill 10/30 litres suitable aquarium water in the bucket or container based on the product purchased. (10L or 30L Quick Quarantine)
6. Add the entire content of one package Discus Protector into the bucket or container and dissolve it.
7. Aerate the container or bucket by an air stone when treating many fish. Water movement also
   ensures an optimal solution of the active substances.
8. Take the new fish out of the transport water and place carefully into the bucket or container
   without transportation water.
9. The duration of treatment must take from 15 to 17 min. Control the exact length by using a
   stopwatch etc.
10. Fish may swim beneath the water surface or they breath heavily during the treatment.
11. Immediately after the end of treatment, put the fish carefully with the net into the aquarium.
12. The transportation water must not come into contact with the aquarium water.

FAQ:
Q: May I divide the content and dissolve it in smaller bulks?
A: NO, never. The complete content must be dissolved at one time and is intended for one single use!
Q: Why does the entire content have to be dissolved in 10 liters 0r 30 liters of water?
A: Discus Protector consists of a wide range of components that are exactly matched to each other. Some of these high-quality ingredients are present in very low quantity. A division of the contents leads to dangerous shifts of the total active ingredients! Please use 160g pack for 10 liters of water and 480g pack for 30 liters of water
Q: How does Discus Protector operate?
A: Discus Protector acts antiseptically and cell-destroying. The plasmids of bacteria will be destroyed by the osmotic effect.
