Product Description
Wipe Out is excellent for controlling gill diseases in pond and aquarium fish. Bacterial diseases generally result from fish stress due to adverse water quality conditions (pH, oxygen or temperature problems), habitat clean-outs, untreated abrasions or predators. Wipe Out works extremely well on pond fish species such as koi and goldfish as well as on commonly found aquarium fish species. Treats up to 4,800 gallons.
Finrot
What Is It: Is a condition that effects fish fins (mainly dorsal fins) and is caused by the bacteria Pseudomonas and Aeromonas. Warning Signs: Noticeable decay of the dorsal fin, disinterest in feeding and noticeably weakened condition. Cause: Colder temperatures, poor water quality and untreated abrasions.
Ulcers
What Is It: A condition resulting most often from an abrasion or injury. Aeromonas bacteria invade the injury on the body and will often move internally if the injury is not treated promptly. Ulcers often lead to koi septicaemia. Warning Signs: Abrasions, ulcerous reddish, purple lesions on the sides of the fish. Causes: Colder temperatures, poor water quality and untreated abrasions.
