ParaGuard 250 ml

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


Main Features:

• Eliminates external parasites and fungal, bacterial, and viral pests
• Safer to administer than formaldehyde, formalin, and methanol
• Will not adversely affect the biological filtration system

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. Keep in mind that many diseases remain in the water as well as on the fish. There is no benefit in giving the fish a bath treatment if it returns directly to contaminated water.

Quarantine
This is a tank prepared for monitoring and treating new fish before they enter the main tank. ParaGuard is gentle enough for prophylactic use (without visible symptoms) if necessary. Quarantine periods 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, bass, rays, sharks, and many other species are known for their sensitivity to various types of Medicines. If you suspect your fish may be sensitive to Medicines, it's okay to start with a partial dose and increase it to the full dose over several days.
