Fritz Mardel Parashield is a revolutionary new way to help maintain fish
optimum health. This bio-adhesive supplement repairs and strengthens

infections. Proven, natural oils and extracts are combined with a
patented film forming matrix to help repair and strengthen a fish’s

fish. Use Parashield as a preventative treatment after stressful events
or for mild cases of common parasitic diseases such as Ick, protozoan
Velvet and other parasites.
