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.

Description:

Safe™ is the complete and super-concentrated dry conditioner for both fresh and salt water. Safe™ removes chlorine, chloramine and detoxifies ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate. It is non-acidic and will not impact pH. A further bonus for the reef hobbyist—Safe™ will not over-activate skimmers.

Safe™ may be used during tank cycling to alleviate ammonia/nitrite toxicity. It contains a binder which renders ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate non-toxic, allowing the biofilter to more efficiently remove them. Use at start-up and whenever adding or replacing water.

Dosage Calculator:

Use 1.25 g (1/4 tsp.) for every 1,250 L (300 US gallons) as needed to reduce chlorine and chloramine or use 1.25 g (1/4 tsp.) for every 300 L (75 US gallons) for ammonia. May be added to aquarium directly, but better if added to new water first. If adding directly to aquarium, base dose on aquarium volume. For exceptionally high chloramine concentrations, a double dose may be used safely. To detoxify nitrite and nitrate in an emergency, up to 4 times normal dose may be used. If temperature is > 30 °C (86 °F) and chlorine or ammonia levels are low, use a half dose.

The post eSHa EXIT (Methylene Blue & Malachite Green Oxalate) – Anti Whitespot Treatment appeared first on Aqua Discus India.

Description: Cloverleaf Absolute Wormer Plus is a Flubendazole-based medication, with added pH buffer is the most effective against outbreaks of Gill Flukes (Dactylogyrus), Skin Flukes (Gyrodactylus), Intestinal Helminths causing thick white poop (including Tapeworm, Nematodes- “Roundworms”, Planaria- “Flatworms”, Capillaria, Camallanus Nematodes, Metacercaria, Sanguinicola), Hexamita, Anchor Worm (Lernea) and Fish Lice (Argulus). This is a ready-mixed formula for the treatment of internal parasites, worms, flukes and protozoa like Hexamita that affect tropical & cold water fish.

Flubendazole is the effective main active ingredient, & works differently to other Fluke treatments by gently starving the parasite; making this product perfectly safe for regular usage. Naturally sourced Calcium Carbonate is blended in & acts as a gentle booster and ‘pick me up’ after the pests are killed. A minuscule amount of Natural Calcium carbonate (0.01g) is blended with the Flubendazole to adjust a very slight drop in pH from adding the Flubendazole. This cleverly balances out this medication making very little (if any) difference to pH when using wormer plus.

Use when: Fish start to show signs of weight loss although maintaining a healthy appetite. Fish may appear lethargic with loss of colour. Often fins remain clamped, and they may flick/rub. They may also spend unusual amounts of time at the surface.

Cloverleaf’s Pro-strength formula rapidly reduces gut parasite burden on fish in fresh water. Discus had a bad name as a difficult fish to keep, some said imposable. NOT SO, just misunderstood. As long as they have the right conditions & free of parasites they are just as easy to keep as any other tropical fish.  Discus keeping in the old days was regarded as a fish shrouded in mystery, and difficult to keep. Just to be kept by the experts and the highly experienced. It is recommended to worm your discus once a month for trouble free discus keeping and this will give them a flying start if introducing new stock. Now keeping your favourite tropical fish has never been easier.

We highly recommend to treat Discus and other aquarium fish once a month with Cloverleaf Absolute Wormer Plus to keep your valued Discus & fish in tip top health.

The post eSHa 2000 – Fungus, Finrot and Bacteria Treatment appeared first on Aqua Discus India.

Description: Discus Protector by Discusfood prevents the risk of infection by new fish of external origin. Fish from different systems are carrier of different pathogenic germs. Mixing fish from different origins, may cause so-called “X-contamination”. Often the entire old fish stock falls ill. Correctly used, Discus Protector prevents the spread of such a disease in about 95% of all cases. Your valuable fish stock will be protected. It is a carefully balanced mixture of high-quality anti-bacterial acting substances, which are embedded in a natural carrier substance.
How to use: Dissolve the entire content of one package in a clean bucket containing water. The new arrivals must be bathed BEFORE they come into contact with the old fish population. Discus Protector acts as a preventive, before disease occurs. Do not use on crustaceans and other invertebrates.

1. Hold ready a cleaned empty container (e.g. a water bucket) suitable for 10 liters of water nearby
   the aquarium.
2. Have ready a suitable net to catch and move fish.
3.  Prepare a timekeeper like a stopwatch, smartphone timer etc. for exact adherence to treatment
   duration.
4. Acclimate the fish which are to be treated, to water of the new environment, as by temperature
   adjustment and water exchange in the transport bags.
5. Fill 10/30 litres suitable aquarium water in the bucket or container based on the product purchased. (10L or 30L Quick Quarantine)
6. Add the entire content of one package Discus Protector into the bucket or container and dissolve it.
7. Aerate the container or bucket by an air stone when treating many fish. Water movement also
   ensures an optimal solution of the active substances.
8. Take the new fish out of the transport water and place carefully into the bucket or container
   without transportation water.
9. The duration of treatment must take from 15 to 17 min. Control the exact length by using a
   stopwatch etc.
10. Fish may swim beneath the water surface or they breath heavily during the treatment.
11. Immediately after the end of treatment, put the fish carefully with the net into the aquarium.
12. The transportation water must not come into contact with the aquarium water.

FAQ:
Q: May I divide the content and dissolve it in smaller bulks?
A: NO, never. The complete content must be dissolved at one time and is intended for one single use!
Q: Why does the entire content have to be dissolved in 10 liters 0r 30 liters of water?
A: Discus Protector consists of a wide range of components that are exactly matched to each other. Some of these high-quality ingredients are present in very low quantity. A division of the contents leads to dangerous shifts of the total active ingredients! Please use 160g pack for 10 liters of water and 480g pack for 30 liters of water
Q: How does Discus Protector operate?
A: Discus Protector acts antiseptically and cell-destroying. The plasmids of bacteria will be destroyed by the osmotic effect.
Q: Why do parts of the mucous membranes fall off during or after the short bath?
A: The parts of the mucous membrane which are infected by bacteria and external parasites are repelled.
