Care® Dimilin Product FAQ
Can I use Pond Care MelaFix at the same time
I'm using Dimilin?
MelaFix can be used
anytime during the Dimilin treatment. We recommend
treating with MelaFix for seven days to heal
damaged skin and prevent secondary infections.
Can I give my fish a "salt bath" or
use pond salt in the pond while using Dimilin?
Yes, but be
careful. Salt baths for fish with anchor worms
should be in a tub that is not used for other
fish. When using the same tub for a salt bath for
more than one fish, be sure to clean it
completely, as anchor worms spread very easily.
Will Dimilin change the color of my pond water?
No. You can use
Dimilin without change to your water color or
clarity.
Can Dimilin be used with tropical fish?
Yes. Dimilin is
formulated for use with ornamental fish, including
koi, goldfish, comets, shubunkins, fantails, carp,
fresh and saltwater tropical ornamental fish,
coldwater aquarium fish, shiners, and minnows.
What are anchor worms and how do I know if I
have them?
The most common
symptom is the female worm embedded in the side of
the fish. The anchor worm appears as a gray or
black strand up to one inch (2.5 cm) in length.
Algae can collect on the worm, giving it a green
appearance and the point of entry may develop a
red ulcer, due to secondary bacterial infections.
You may also see two egg sacs hanging from the
worm.
Eggs are released into the water, where they hatch
into microscopic free-swimming copepods. The
copepods feed on the fish mucus, but do not damage
the fish. After mating, the female parasite then
penetrates into the fish and anchors itself under
the skin. The anchor can go so deep as to
penetrate organs in smaller fish.
The female worms then develop two large egg sacs
that can contain up to 700 eggs. Once the eggs
hatch, the free-swimming parasites re-infest the
fish. The parasite's life cycle is temperature
dependent and can take as little as 15 days when
the water is 86°F (30°C). Anchor worm
infestations are most common on koi and goldfish.
How long will the anchor worms remain on the
fish?
The female anchor
worm will remain on the fish even though it is
dead. The worm will disintegrate and fall off of
the fish in time. There is no need to pull the
worms off of the fish. This tends to rip the
"anchor" out of the flesh and increase
the chances of secondary infections.
