I have used Supraverm with my koi. I know of one person that used it for
goldfish extermination, and they had at least one goldfish, now named
superman, that was not affected. I don't know what the effect would be on
the turtles, but I think that I would remove them. Unlike PP or formalin
based products, it is not consumed by the organics in the pond, so before
putting the turtles back in, I would do a major water change.

I have my 4 Red Earred Slider turtles in an outdoor pond and all is
going well. However, I have tons of feeder fish and goldfish that have
taken over. I really only want my koi and my turtles and the pond
company sold me a product called Supraverm. It will kill the goldfish
and feeder fish and the koi aren't affected at all. This formula is
supposed to kill flukes on koi and the advantage to me is that it kills
the other fish.

The BIG QUESTION.......will it harm my turtles? It is a mixture of
Closantel and Mebendazole.

Should I remove the turtles as a safeguard anyway? This is supposed to
kill the feeder and goldfish in 3 days and the koi will be fine.

Does anyone have any experience with this product?

Thanks!
Nancy
