Lori Shimoda asked, How do I kill Gamaris?
Hello Lori,
I keep many different aquatic plants in ponds outside here in Darwin (no
heaters required). I have trouble with insects and crustaceans so I use a
horse and cattle anthelmintic/boticide called "Neguvon" from Bayer. It has
the active ingredient trichlorfon. I dose the neguvon into the ponds
at half a gram per cubic meter which kills the insects and crustaceans.
The trichlorfon changes to a more toxic state after about a day. After12
hours I commence a big water change so the fish don't suffer. I also use
it as a plant dip with 5 grams in 10 liters so I don't give any of my pests
to my friends when I give them aquatic plants. We have two types of moths
here which have underwater larvae that trash aquarium plants, even the
plants in aquariums inside.
Cheers
Dave Wilson
