Signs of External Parasites
Fish with external parasites may show signs such as flashing, scratching against decorations, clamped fins, heavy breathing, visible irritation, excess slime coat, red areas, or visible parasites on the body or fins. Always observe fish closely and test water quality before treating.
Directions for Use
Use according to the instructions on the package. A common dosing guideline is 1 packet per 10 gallons of aquarium water. Follow the full treatment schedule on the label, including any recommended repeat dosing or water changes.
Remove activated carbon, resins, and other chemical filtration during treatment so the medication is not removed from the water. Keep biological filtration running and increase aeration while treating.
Important Note
Whenever possible, treat sick fish in a quarantine or hospital tank. This allows for more precise dosing, closer observation, and better protection for sensitive tank mates. Use caution with shrimp, snails, corals, and other sensitive invertebrates. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions carefully.
