Proper Use of Tricide-Neo

  1. Read entire label before mixing.
  2. Tricide-NeoŽ is supplied in foil-lined envelopes containing premeasured quantity of Tricide-NeoŽ.
  3. Add contents of one package to a gallon of DISTILLED water.
  4. If you have the 5-gallon package you will need five gallons of distilled water.
  5. If you do not use distilled water, Tricide-NeoŽ may be inactivated by various chemicals in tap water.
  6. For easiest use, fish to be treated should be maintained in a filtered hospital tank of suitable size. (One gallon per inch of fish) Fish will be removed from this vat for dip-treatment in your Tricide-Neo solution.
  7. You should wear appropriate eye protection while using Tricide-NeoŽ. Rubber gloves are also recommended. Protective clothing is recommended.
  8. Equilibrate temperatures between the holding vat and the Tricide-NeoŽ dip-solution you have mixed up.
  9. Aerate the Tricide-NeoŽ dip-solution very well.
  10. Place affected fish in this dip solution for no more than ten minutes. (Five minutes has worked well in tests and field trials and is less stressful to the fish.)
  11. Cover the dipping container to avoid "jumping" and resultant injury.
  12. If the fish show ANY signs of distress in the Tricide-NeoŽ dipping solution, remove them to their holding vat at once!
  13. Repeat this dipping in Tricide-NeoŽ every day or every other day for AT LEAST THREE treatments or as directed by your veterinarian.
  14. If Koi to be treated have been in cold water, slowly warm water to the mid to low seventies (degrees Fahrenheit) and maintain fish in dilute saline solution (0.3% salt) between dips in Tricide-NeoŽ.
  15. Store reconstituted Tricide-NeoŽ in a covered, child-and-animal-proof container in a cool, dark location. Discard reconstituted Tricide-NeoŽ after one week.
  16. NEVER use older reconstituted Tricide-NeoŽ if it is not well aerated, if the solutions' pH has not been immediately checked, or if the Tricide-NeoŽ is fouled with fish bodily excretions!!!
  17. Residual Tricide-NeoŽ will kill the beneficial nitrogen reducing bacteria in a biological filter and water quality must be monitored at least 2 times per day during and for several days after treatment. It is best to maintain fish that are being treated in an isolation tank where they are not exposed to other fish in a pond.

Tricide-NeoŽ should be stored in a cool, dry location, away from children. (59-86 degrees Fahrenheit)
