Ichthyophthirius multifiliis, a disease carried by a parasite (ciliated protozoan) called ichthyophthirius multifiliis, affects both freshwater and saltwater fish. It affects both freshwater and saltwater fish, and is commonly known as "white spot disease." The main cause is a sudden change in temperature in the aquarium or during transport. From the time the parasite attaches to the fish until the cyst hatches, approximately four days pass. Ichthyophthirius is highly contagious, making it necessary to monitor the fish closely.
SYMPTOMS: White spots all over the body, loss of appetite, labored breathing, evident by gills moving faster than normal, tendency to swim close to the surface, red gills, tendency to rub against furniture, irregular swimming, fins sticking to the body.
Haquoss H14 is a specific product for this type of condition and should be used as soon as the first symptoms appear. Remove the activated carbon filter, if present, and aerate the aquarium thoroughly. During administration, the water will turn blue/green, but this is completely normal.
IMPORTANT: Invertebrates, corals, and crustaceans cannot tolerate this product. Darken the tank during treatment.
DOSAGE: Increase the aquarium temperature to 28°/30° and dose 1ml (1 capful = 5ml) per 25lt of water for the 1st and 3rd days. On the 4th day, do a partial 20% change by adding Haquoss DM1, conditioner and Haquoss DM2, alive, then repeat the dose on the 5th and 7th days if the infection persists. On the 10th day, do a substantial partial water change (at least 30%) and resume the activated carbon filtering. After the partial change, add Haquoss DM1, DM2, H26, and H28. Return the temperature to its previous values at the end of treatment.
Do not overdose and do not combine with other medicines.
