Fritz Maracyn Oxy successfully controls true fungal infections caused by
Saprolegnia, Ichthyosporidium, egg fungus and related species, and some
common bacterial infections, such as fin and tail rot. Fritz Maracyn
Oxy can be used to treat fish exhibiting the following symptoms: clamped
fins, swollen eyes, heavy or rapid breathing, patchy coloration or any
change in behavior of the fish.
All suspected infections should be treated immediately.Fungal
infections are usually found at the site of an injury or recent attack
from parasites. A true fungal infection has a cotton-like appearance
similar to a mold found on fruit, bread or cheese, except that on fish,
it is usually white instead of black or green. Fungal infections are
very difficult to treat and are usually secondary invaders resulting
from an injury on the fish or recent wounds from parasites or bacterial
infection. Once the fungus starts growing on the fish, it usually
continues to grow and enlarge. Unless medication is provided, death
results. Fritz Maracyn Oxy has also been shown to be effective against
some gram-negative and gram-positive bacterial infections.
