Indications & Usage
Diagnostic Chart
Hemorrhagic Septicemia:
A bacterial infection of the bloodstream. Fish may show blood streaks on the body and fins, bleeding (red patches) and localized swelling.
Body Slime and Eye Cloud:
Eyes develop a white haze and/or protrude from the head. Slimy patches appear on the body. Fish may scratch on objects and exhibit rapid breathing. Infection may cause abnormal osmotic function resulting in fluid accumulation to the eyes and/or body.
Open Red Sores:
A bacterial infection that causes open red sores on body. Infection can range from very small ulcers to deep skin lesions. Coloring can range from reddish or gray ulcers to very dark areas associated with necrotic (dying) tissue.
Fin and Tail Rot:
Fins appear ragged and split. In severe cases, fins and tail are almost completely eroded.Secondary fungal infections, observed as white, "cottony" growth, commonly occur.
Bacterial Gill Disease:
Fish may breathe heavily and show bright red gills. Fish may sit at bottom of aquarium or near the water's surface. However, visual diagnosis is often difficult.
Treatment Tips
Quarantine aquarium. Remove any dead fish immediately. Do not remove or add any live fish to the infected aquarium. Bacterial pathogens can be spread to other aquariums by nets, algae scrapers and wet hands.
To aid osmoreregulation and ease stress of infected fish, add 1 tablespoon of API AQUARIUM SALT for each 5 gallons (19 L) of aquarium water, or 1-1/4 cup for each 100 gallons (378 L).
Medicating an aquarium with antibiotics may suppress the biological filter. API QUICK START contains live nitrifying bacteria to strengthen the biological filter. Add QUICK START after the final water change.
This medication may be used with API anti-parasitic medications, including API GENERAL CURE.
