Hikari Ich-X Health Aid is a proven formulation to help eliminate the disease conditions caused by freshwater or marine ich without negatively impacting the biological activity in an aquarium. Hikari Ich-X utilizes the most widely respected formulation for the treatment of ich, with a less toxic form of malachite green than other ich treatments.

• Disease treatment for freshwater and marine aquariums
• Contains a more effective form of malachite green
• Treats protozoan-caused diseases and controls fungal issues
• Highly effective and less stressful to fish and bio-action

Ich-X can be used to treat Ich, Velvet (Gold Dust Disease), Saprolegniasis and Trichodiniasis.

Directions for Use: To treat "ich" disease (ichthyophthiriasis) of freshwater fishes and "marine ich" disease (cryptocaryoniasis) of marine fishes, add 1 teaspoonful of Ich-X to 10 gallons of aquarium water. FOR BEST RESULTS: 1) Always treat in a separate quarantine/treatment tank, 2) remove activated carbon from filters and clean or replace mechanical filtrration media (do not stop filtration!), 3) make at least a 1/3 water change before each addition of Ich-X, and 4) repeat treatments at least every 24 hours, but no more often than every 8 hours, depending upon the course of the disease. Do not overdose. 4 oz treats up to 240 gallons. 16 oz treats up to 960 gallons. Please read and follow all product directions carefully.

Kordon Rid-Ich Plus is a completely safe, effective and economical Ich treatment in fresh and saltwater on a wide range of protozoan, crustaceans, and other invertebrate parasites of fish.

• Controls Ich and other external protozoan, dinoflagellate and fungal diseases of fish
• Powerful 2-medication combination
• Suitable for fresh and saltwater

Kordons Rid Ich+ is a combination of two powerful medications which have proven effective in the control of many diseases of freshwater fishes caused by external protozoan (single cell) parasites such as white spot disease, Ichthyophthiriasis, Costia, Trichodina, Chilodonella and saltwater external parasites such as Cryptocaryon and Amyloodinium. The medication can also treat fungal infections in fishes.

Rid Ich+ is recommended as the best chemical treatment for Ich, (white spot disease), having been originally developed decades ago for professional aquaculture, public aquariums, and government use in treating fishes. Other than refinement in ingredients, it has continued to remain as the foremost scientifically developed chemical treatment for Ich white spot disease. Efficacy is improved and the treatment time is often reduced when compared to treatment with either the chemicals malachite or formalin alone. Additionally, the Rid Ich+ formula utilizes the less common but also less toxic chloride salt of malachite green (this is the same salt used in Kordons Malachite Green).

The recommended treatment concentration of Rid Ich+ should be approached with caution, carefully observing the reactions of the treated fishes and ceasing treatment if any undue stress is noted. Remember, when the first outward signs of Ich (scattered spots) are noticed, the fish is often quite heavily parasitic in the mouth and gills - lowering the fishs ability to withstand additional stress. The weaker the fishes' condition, the poorer its response will be to any medication. Rid Ich+ has been shown to be reasonably safe for use on fishes which normally cannot tolerate malachite green alone.

Kordon Methylene Blue is effective against superficial fungal infections of fishes. The Kordon Methylene Blue may be used as an alternative to Malachite Green for the control of fungus when it is known that the fish to be treated are sensitive.

• Effective against superficial fungal infections of fishes
• Safe for use with fish eggs and fry
• Effective against some external protozoans

The Kordon Methylene Blue is safe for use with fish eggs and fry for the prevention of fungal infections. As a secondary use, it is effective against some external protozoans, such as Ichthyophthirius (Ich), Chilodonella and Costia.

Cuprisorb is a powerful adsorbent of copper and heavy metals. Cuprisorb will remove copper more rapidly and efficiently than carbon and is thus ideal for emergency copper removal. It extracts All types of copper, including chelated copper, and remains effective until it turns a deep blue-black color. It may be regenerated repeatedly. If placed in continuous use, it will gradually extract even precipitated copper from the gravel/substrate bed as well. Cuprisorb will allow maintenance of invertebrates in copper-treated tanks by removing copper leaching from substrates.

• Powerful adsorbent of copper and heavy metals
• Copper specific chelating resin
• Removes all types of copper

Directions:
As a Bath: As a bath treatment for external microbial diseases of marine and freshwater aquarium and pond fishes (e.g. hole-in-the-head and lateral line), use 1 capful (~9.7g) per 10 gallons of water. A partial or complete water change should be made just prior to beginning treatment and every 24 hours thereafter, followed by re-treatment. Any water used should first be conditioned with ULTIMATE or a combination of Liquid Buffered ClorAm-X and Stress-X to remove ammonia, chlorine and chloramines. Repeat the treatment every 24 hours for 5 to 7 days or until mortalities cease or healing of leasions occurs. If improvement is not noted within 3 days, discontinue treatment and consider other therapy.

Oral Treatment: For systemic (internal) infections, Metro+ can be fed mixed with fish food.
