Seachem ParaGuard 100mL
Eradicates ectoparasites and fungal, bacterial, and viral lesions. Safer
to dose than formaldehyde, formalin, and methanol. Will not adversely
effect bio-filter.
Overview:
ParaGuard
is the only fish and filter safe parasite control product available
(for parasites on fish). ParaGuard contains no formaldehyde or methanol
and will not alter pH. ParaGuard employs a proprietary, synergistic
blend of aldehydes, malachite green, and fish protective polymers that
effectively and efficiently eradicates many ectoparasites (e.g. ich,
etc.) and external fungal/bacterial/viral lesions (e.g., fin rot). It is
particularly useful in hospital and receiving tanks for new fish and
whenever new fish are introduced to a community tank.
Indications:
ParaGuard
is appropriate for treating a variety of parasitic infections of exotic
fish including; Ich, White Spot, Velvet, Fin Rot, Gill Flukes and Body
Flukes. Be aware that many diseases and infections share similar
physical and behavioral symptoms, e.g. clamped fins, lesions, loss of
appetite.
Directions:
Dosing:
Remove
all invertebrates from the tank as well as any chemical filtration. Use
5 mL (1 capful) of ParaGuard for every 40 L (10 US gallons). Repeat
this dose daily as required as long as fish show no stress.
ParaGuard
can also be used as a medicated dip. For 1 hour dips, use 3 mL per 4 L
(1 US gallon) in a container separate from your main tank. Dips may be
extended if the fish show no evidence of stress. Keep in mind that many
diseases linger in the water as well as on the fish. Giving a fish a dip
treatment does no good if they go right back into infected water.
Quarantine:
This
is a tank set up in order monitor and medicate new fish before they go
into the main tank. ParaGuard is gentle enough to use prophylactically
(without visible symptoms) if needed. Quarantine times vary, but we
generally recommend 2 weeks of treatment with ParaGuard to clear out any
possible external infections.
Sensitive Fish:
Some
fish are more sensitive to medications than others. Eels, loaches,
rays, sharks, and many others are well known for their sensitivity to
all kinds of medications. If you suspect that your fish may be sensitive
to medications, it is just fine to start with a partial dose and build
up to the full dose over several days.
Not recommended for reef aquaria.
