ParaGuard 500 ml

ParaGuard is the only fish and filter-safe product built on aldehyde (10% by weight) for parasite control (on fish). Unlike formalin-based Medicines, which are highly toxic and difficult to use, ParaGuard contains no formaldehyde or methanol and will not alter pH levels.

Key features:

• Eliminates external parasites, fungal, bacterial, and viral infestations
• Safer at the dose compared to formaldehyde, formalin, and methanol
• Will not adversely affect the biological filter

Instructions:
Dosage
Remove all invertebrates from the tank as well as any chemical filtration. Use 5 ml (one cap) of ParaGuard per 40 liters (10 US gallons). Repeat this dose daily as needed as long as the fish do not show tags of stress.

ParaGuard can also be used as a medicinal bath. For one-hour baths, use 3 ml per 4 liters (1 US gallon) in a container separate from your main tank. Baths can be extended if the fish show no signs of stress. Remember that many diseases persist in the water as well as on the fish. Giving the fish a bath treatment is ineffective if it returns directly to the infected water.

Quarantine
This is a tank set up to monitor and treat new fish before they enter the main tank. ParaGuard is gentle enough for prophylactic use (without visible symptoms) if necessary. Quarantine times vary, but we generally recommend a two-week treatment with ParaGuard to eliminate any potential external infections.

Sensitive fish
Some fish are more sensitive to Medicines than others. Eels, flatfish, rays, sharks, and many others are known for their sensitivity to all types of Medicines. If you suspect your fish may be sensitive to Medicines, it is okay to start with a partial dose and increase it to the full dose over several days.
