Important Aquarium Care Note
Seachem Focus does not treat disease on its own. It is a binder used to help prepare medicated food when a food-based treatment method is appropriate.
If fish are not eating, medicated food may not be effective. In that situation, a water-based treatment or quarantine approach may be needed depending on the symptoms, medication label, and aquarium setup.
