eSHa ALX 20ml (Lice & Anchor Worm)

eSHa Alx is specially developed for ornamental fish against parasitic species of Crustacea (Maxillopoda), including:

• Argulus (carp lice),
• Lernaea (anchor worm),
• Ergasilus (gill lice),
• Salmincola (gill lice), etc.
• The parasitic Crustacea occur on and in the skin of fish and on the gills.

There are a few noticeable symptoms of parasitic Crustacea:

• Trying to jump out of the aquarium/pond.
• Scraping the entire body along stones and the bottom.
• Visible areas where parasites have bitten (which subsequently become white as the skin dies).
• Pale gills.
• Listless behaviour.
• Skittishness.
• Weight loss; separating from the group.
• Not eating.

eSHa Alx can also be used with marine fish in quarantine tanks.

In the case of multiple infections eSHa Alx can also be used with:

• eSHa 2000
• eSHa Exit
• eSHa Gdex

To help fish recover and improve their general health we recommend you use eSHa Optima Fish Health Booster and eSHa Minaroll after treatment. If used in a planted aquarium it is recommended that eSHa ProPhyll is used too.
