NT Labs Aquarium Anti-Parasite is a targeted, fast-acting external protozoan treatment designed to eliminate specific microscopic parasites in tropical and coldwater setups. Formulated with copper sulphate and formaldehyde, it acts as a single-dose treatment to cure fish showing clear signs of external distress or heavy mucus production.
Key Product Details
Target Parasites: Eradicates protozoan hitchhikers including Trichodina, Costia, Oodinium (Velvet), and flukes.
Identifiable Symptoms: Best used when fish flash/rub against decor, gasped at the water surface, have clamped or damaged fins, or develop a thick, whitish "slime disease" film over their bodies.
Biological Safety: It is completely harmless to essential filter bacteria and live aquarium plants.
Invertebrate Warning: The copper content is highly lethal to snails, shrimp, crabs, and other invertebrates. You must use a half-dose if copper-sensitive tankmates are present, or move infected fish to a separate quarantine tank.
Step-by-Step Dosage & Administration
Calculate Volume: Determine your exact water volume in litres. Multiply length x width x depth (in cm) and divide by 1,000. Alternatively, verify your dimensions using the NT Labs Online Dosage Calculator.
Prepare the Dose: The standard dosage ratio is 10 ml per 50 litres of aquarium water. Shake the bottle vigorously before opening.
Mix and Add: Dilute the measured medication into 1 litre of clean aquarium water first. Slowly pour this mixture evenly into the tank to avoid shocking the fish.
Follow Up: If the infection persists, the treatment protocol allows you to repeat the dose 7 days after the initial application.
