Description: eSHa OODINEX is a wide range disease treatment for marine fish in aquariums with invertebrates (such as sea anemones, corals and crustaceans). The unique formula solves a wide range of fungal, bacterial and parasitic infections. OODINEX’s wide range action means the danger of choosing the wrong treatment is virtually eliminated. If there are no invertebrates in the tank, it is recommended to use eSHa TRIMARIN, which has an even broader treatment range.

• A list of specific disease organisms and conditions that OODINEX treats:
• Oodinium (coral fish disease / marine velvet): One of the most common diseases affecting marine fish. Fine whitish / yellow spots or ‘salt and pepper’ coating can be seen, especially on the fins. The spots can give a ‘hazy gold’ appearance. Fish may ‘rub and scratch’ against hard objects and show rapid gill movement (difficulty breathing). Slime may cover the body. This is common for tangs and clownfish;
• Marine whitespot (Cryptocaryon irritans): white spots on the body and fins of your fish. Your fish may try to ‘rub and scratch’ against hard objects such as aquarium decor;
• Fungus: most likely to be the Saprolegnia fungus. White or slightly off-white fluffy growths on the fins and body of your fish. Often found on wounds or broken skin, where the mucus layer has been broken, a classic secondary infection;
• Finrot: can be a result of numerous bacteria or vigorous feeding / breeding. It can also affect the tail (tailrot). The fins of your fish appear ragged and sore, frayed or torn;
• Dropsy: the common name for a combined viral and / or bacterial infection. Your fish appear swollen with scales / fins protruding from the skin. Red areas often visible at the base of raised scales. Bases of fins and around anus appears red or bloodshot. Eyes may protrude from body;
• Wasting disease (fish tuberculosis / Mycobacterium): symptoms can include some or all of the following: weight loss, ulcers, popeye, listlessness, swollen belly, sore skin patches, loss of appetite, ‘wasted’ appearance.

Some diseases are very difficult to diagnose or can be diagnosed incorrectly. For example, fungus may result from another problem such as finrot. Therefore, it is important to treat the root of the problem (finrot) as well as the resulting secondary infection (fungus). As OODINEX treats many diseases you have a very good chance of treating the root problem and improving your fish’s health. In some cases it is more effective to keep an eye out for a variety of symptoms which fish tend to exhibit when they are infected.

The symptoms

• Shaking of the head;
• Lying near the water surface;
• Shimmying (body rocking);
• Cloudy eyes;
• Slimy skin / red skin inflammations;
• Skin patchiness / discolouration;
• Bloody patches / spots;
• Open wounds / bleeding skin;
• Rough scales / scale loss;
• Mucus patches;
• Breathing difficulty;
• Rapid gill movement.

OODINEX treats a wide range of infections characterised by the above symptoms. These infections are often very contagious and can easily spread to healthy fish. The sooner you treat your fish, the better their chance of recovery.

GarlicGuard™ is an all natural garlic scented odor and flavor enhancer for freshwater and saltwater fish. Our research has shown that many fish are attracted to natural odors, such as garlic. Simply mix GarlicGuard™ with any food item, such as Seachem’s NutriDiet® Flakes, to attract the interest of finicky eaters, e.g. discus and marine angelfish. GarlicGuard is safe for reef and planted aquariums.

Dosage Calculator:

Shake well before use. Soak food in GarlicGuard™ before feeding. Completely soak this food mix in GarlicGuard™, refrigerate, and feed once or twice daily for 1–2 weeks.

Safe for use with medicated foods (to attract the interest of finicky eaters to the medicated food). For example, for enhanced effectiveness against Ich and other parasites use Seachem’s Focus™ and MetroPlex™ as follows: Add 1 measure of MetroPlex™ to 1 measure of Focus™ per tablespoon of food.

The post Seachem Discus Buffer – pH Buffer For Ideal Discus Environment appeared first on Aqua Discus India.

Description:

• StressGuard™ is the premium slime coat protection product.
• It will reduce stress and ammonia toxicity whenever handling or transporting fish.
• It binds to exposed protein in wounds to promote healing of injured fish and to reduce the likelihood of primary and secondary infections.
• It is compatible with all medications except those that are copper based.
• It is not amine based and will not interfere with Purigen®; or HyperSorb™ regeneration.
• It does not coat resins or clog filtration like competing “slime coat” type products can.

What makes StressGuard™ very successful at healing is the fact that it contains protein active colloids. This protein active colloidal agent actively seeks out any wounds, abrasions, or places where exposed proteins are and attaches to this area to help directly deliver the disinfectant in the product and start the healing process. This protein active colloid, because it binds to the exposed proteins, also acts like a liquid bandage to the abrasion. Some products are marketed to be squirted in the bag when a fish is purchased. Those products are generally acidic, with some brands being a very strong acid. Putting such a product in a small, enclosed container with a fish often does more harm than any intended good. StressGuard™ has a pH of 7.0. It will not affect the pH of an aquarium, even at large doses. There are no other products on the market that can compare to the effectiveness of StressGuard™.

Dosage Calculator:

Use 1/2–1 capful (2.5–5 mL) to every 40 L (10 US gallons) daily until signs of stress have abated or healing is complete. Dose may be safely doubled.
