Key Aquarium Treatment Features

• Can be used as a controlled bath or incorporated into frozen food according to the product directions.
• Suitable for treatment aquariums, quarantine systems and ornamental pond hospital setups.

Label-Listed Fish Health Concerns

This product may be considered when the visible signs and the current label are consistent with concerns such as:

• Hexamita
• Hole in the head
• Hole-in-the-head disease
• Body slime
• Freshwater ich
• Protozoan infection
• Intestinal flagellates
• Internal parasite support

Visible symptoms do not confirm a diagnosis. Similar signs may result from poor water quality, parasites, fungus, injury, toxins or environmental stress. Correct the aquarium environment and seek qualified aquatic guidance when the cause is uncertain.

Dosage and Application Directions

1. Condition the aquarium water before beginning the treatment course.
2. Use 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon per 20 gallons and repeat after 24 hours.
3. Perform a partial water change between treatments and continue the bath for no more than 3 days.
4. Do not exceed 3 treatments. After completion, perform a 50% water change and run fresh activated carbon for 3 days.
5. For label-directed food use, mix 2 teaspoons per pound of thawed frozen food, refreeze flat and feed once daily for 10 days.

Label priority: Always compare these listing details with the instructions printed on the bottle you receive. The physical product label controls the amount, frequency, duration, compatibility and storage requirements.

Prepare the Treatment Aquarium

• Calculate dosage from the aquarium’s actual water volume, not its advertised capacity.
• Use a separate hospital or quarantine tank whenever practical.
• Test ammonia and nitrite before treatment and throughout the complete course.
• Remove activated carbon, UV or other equipment only when the current label directs you to do so.
• Maintain stable temperature and strong aeration while observing the fish closely.

Closely observe appetite, activity, waste and water quality. Similar signs can also arise from poor water conditions, other parasites, bacterial disease or injury.

Coverage and Product Format

The concentrated powder format is designed for accurate measuring in a controlled treatment system. This package treats up to 200 gallons at the label-directed rate, making the coverage easy to compare with your hospital tank, quarantine aquarium or ornamental pond treatment volume.
