ParaGuard 2L

ParaGuard is the only aldehyde-based product (10% by weight) that is safe for fish and filters to combat parasites (for parasites on fish). Unlike usable medicines containing formalin, which are highly toxic and difficult to use, ParaGuard does not contain formaldehyde or methanol and will not affect pH levels.

Main Features:

• Eliminates external parasites, 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 along with 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 do not show any 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 do not show any signs of stress. Remember that many diseases remain in the water as well as on the fish. Giving the fish a bath treatment is not beneficial if it returns directly to contaminated 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, 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.
