Hydra International - Natural Aquatic Treatments, Cleaning & Protecting the Environment

Powerful Parasite, fungus and Bacteria Bath treatment actively fights infection and cleans the water by destroying dissolved organic matter.

Dosage:

Add 10ml to 400 litres (88 gallons) for a 1ppm pond cleaning treatment.

Add 10ml to (40 litres) for a 10ppm 30 minute bath treatment.

Excellent bath treatment for the ulcers, parasites, fungus and all infections. During the treatment process, the active permanganate is destroyed turning the water from pink to brown. It is for this reason that the treatment is recommended as a dip treatment where the concentrated solution is diluted in clean water and retains its strength throughout the treatment time.

The dip is excellent at cleaning ulcers, wounds and destroying parasites. If your fish have Argulus lice, these will drop off during the treatment.

During the long term bath treatment, 3ppm of permanganate can be close to the toxic level for fish and it can be possible to overdose. In this case, if fish appear to become stressed, milk can be added to reduce the permanganate level and Hydrogen Peroxide will provide extra oxygen. This is another reason why the dip treatment is recommended and the preferred method of application.

NB. The skin of the fish under the dip treatment may appear brown, this is due to the permanganate ions. The brown will not stay for long and is harmless to the fish.
