1. A recommended hospital tank will only contain an air stone for aeration and a heater if needed.
2. Daily water change should be adopted as means of controlling water quality during treatment.
3. Adding water conditioner that binds and neutralize chlorine AND ammonia is highly recommended.
4. It is recommended to stop feeding, during the treatment if you still want to feed or must feed, do it lightly and keep more attention to siphoning away any food or fish waste daily, also in this case you MUST be using water conditioner that binds and neutralize chlorine AND ammonia.
5. Always start by cleaning the aquarium, whipping the glass and having clean treated water at the correct conditions for the fish.
6. In case you still treat in a display tank follow these steps to increase the success rate and reduce risk. Wipe the glass surface, siphon the substrate, and any waste accumulated under or around décor, filter media…etc. • Take care when cleaning the filter media not to do it with chlorinated water or any cleaning agent, or over cleaning it in a way that will remove most or all the beneficial bacteria(biofilm). Some products will directly kill the filter bacteria, such products will have a warning on the back of the package.
