ParaGuard 100 ml

ParaGuard is the only aldehyde-based product (10% by weight) suitable for fish and filters to combat parasites (for parasites on fish). Unlike highly toxic and difficult-to-use formalin-based Medicines, ParaGuard contains no formaldehyde or methanol and will not alter pH levels.

Main Features:

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

Instructions:
Dosage
Remove all invertebrates from the aquarium as well as any chemical filtration. Use 5 ml (one capful) of ParaGuard for every 40 liters (10 US gallons). Repeat this dosage daily as needed as long as the fish show no signs 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 aquarium. Baths can be extended if the fish show no signs of stress. Keep in mind that many diseases remain in the water as well as on the fish. Giving the fish a bath treatment is ineffective if they return directly to infected water.

Quarantine
This is a tank set up to monitor and treat new fish before they enter the main aquarium. ParaGuard is gentle enough for preventive 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, loaches, rays, sharks, and many other species 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 to the full dose over several days.
