Here's
something for all marine enthusiasts.New
Ich! Wipes fish out in 24-48 hours.
Here's a picture of a Lionfish (Pterois
Volitans), that has the new strain of Cryptocaryon that is going
around. This strain of marine Ich is not sensitive to
treatments with Copper or Formaldehyde.
This strain of Ich is responsible for
severe mortalities in the industry right now. It shows up
a bit larger than usual, followed with a slime that covers the
fish and starves it for oxygen. The fish
will die with it's mouth open (anoxia)
Quinine Sulfate is the only magic drug we
know of that will get rid of this strain of Crypto. The
quinine also works well on brooklynella.
Treatment:
For a
small aquarium (under 50 gal), Use the Quinine Sulfate
every 24 hours with a 25% water change before each treatment.
Treat the fish for 7 days.
For a
central system, or large aquarium, do not treat every day. Treat once
and leave in the water for 7 days.
This treatment varies
from what is printed on the product label.
Be
advised!
