sera guide - Healthy aquarium fish

9.2 sera med Professional Protazol Observation Clearly visible white spots (0.4 – 1.5 mm) on skin and fins, clamped fins and scrubbing on decoration. Diagnosis: Ichthyophthirius multifiliis (white spot disease) Observation Furry coating after mucous membrane injuries; many elongated protozoans on a short stalk (no long threads as in case of fungal infections) are visible with a strong magnifier. Diagnosis: Apiosoma (formerly: Glossatella) or Epistylis (formerly: Heteropolaria) see also page 32 Apply the colorless treatment according to the information for use. All parasite stages on the fish and in the water – including cysts – are re- liably killed with just one treatment. A repeated treatment is therefore required only in excep- tional cases (in case of a very persistent Ichthyophthirius strain or the parasites being introduced again), if the formation of new spots was clearly observed after having finished the treatment. The treatment is stable against light. The aquarium lighting can therefore remain switched on. However, strongly affected ani- mals feel better when they are given more calmness for recovering by longer dark phases. see also page 33 Black Neon Tetra with white spot infection Black Molly with “Ich” Infected Dwarf Gourami Firemouth Cichlid with Apiosoma infestation at the caudal fin 50 Professional
