Jo,I believe you cant actually purchase Masoten anymore due to it being illegal to sell however there is a product called parazin p by waterlife that i have used that seemed to do the trick and its a one shot treatment too so no adding for days.
Masoten can be got but i cannot say how or where from as i wouldnt have a clue

Just got a guy contacted me with some Masoten , I have a holding net in my 5500 gallon pond with 16 small koi in as they would go down my bottom drain, will the small koi be in any danger if I treat my pond. Thanks for your prompt reply. Regards Joe
Cheers, will treat with Parazin P , I have about 16 koi all less than 4inch in a holding net so they can't go down the bottom drain will these be ok to leave in pond when I treat. Regards joe
Dave, the critter I found was not visible to the eye, it had a two pronged tail and it's mouth was doing a constant gnawing action , it wasn't tube like for a fluke, or kidney shaped like costia, my koi dealer advises it's lice but in there infancy, any ideas would be appreciated.
Darran, had a good look at mosquito larve( not a good idea before breakfast) can't seem to find my one, will treat pond with parazin p then do more scrapes to see if that kills them off. Regards Joe
