Metronidazole
(Flagyl) is the trade name and can be found at any pharmacy.
It is an antibiotic and antiparasitic used to treat infections caused by protozoa and anaerobic bacteria.
This medicinal product can also be used in fish against Ich (white spot) and sometimes when the first symptoms of dropsy.
Dose: 1 tablet (250mg) for every 25 to 30 ltrs.
No damage and / or affect the beneficial bacteria found in the aquarium which can be used in the main aquarium.
Diseases can be treated:
1 .- Punto Blanco (Ich)
2 .- Internal Parasites
3 .- When the fish has an infection in the stomach
4 .- When the fish has whitish feces and not given him food of that color
5 .- Top of Dropsy.
How to be medicate first:
You spray a tablet (pill) which can be done with the help of two spoons
just place the tablet in the spoon and the back of another spoon until it pressed powder. and then that dust going to be diluted in a glass aquarium water.
Dissolved and it can be applied to it.
Regular treatment for three days is recommended that the 3rd day make a partial water change of 35% to 40% for clean water and treated with anti-chlorine.
The degradation of the active substance is about four days but it is preferable to a partial water change of 30% at 48 hours and redissolve other Metronidazole tablets to renew the dose.
After the first 48 hours should be some improvement in fish and the second treatment should be sufficient to eliminate the white spots. However, when distinguishing still some white spots on the fish, do not stop treatment, another treatment may be repeated in cases of somewhat resistant varieties with good safety margin.
The end result should be that in 4-6 days your tank will be free of parasites and to be the time to make a partial water change to phase out the remains of the drug and excipients, restoring normal levels of the aquarium.
Store at room temperature and away from excess heat and moisture.
