EIHO Aqua Blue (treat external parasite disease)

Description

EIHO Aqua Blue is effective for the treatment of common gills and skin diseases. These diseases can be caused by bacteria such as pseudomonas, or by parasites such as chilodonella. In most cases, fishes are infected by both. These infections usually occur on fishes that have been kept or transported in poor conditions. The unique formulation of Aqua Blue combats both bacteria and parasites, without creating too much stress on the fish. It acts as the first treatment against infection after transportation. Suitable for goldfish, koi, tropical fish, cichlid and arowana.
Symptoms:

• Fish group at one corner of tank, appear restless and show difficulties in respiration
• Gills are red and swollen. In serious cases, parts of gills are damaged
• Body appears reddish with excessive shedding of fish scales
• White slime on the body
• Fish loses its mucoid skin coating, causing cloudy water

Directions

SHAKE BEFORE USE. 1 cap (5ml) for 50L. Remove activated carbon and turn off UV during treatment. If disease persists by the third day, do 50% water change and add a full dosage. Can be used as a preventative measure or to quarantine tank, add 5ml for 100L every 10 days. For serious infections, Furan Plus can be used with Aqua Blue for all-round treatment. May be unsuitable for invertebrates.

Using EIHO Aqua Blue for gill and skin disease in SG aquariums

Aqua Blue is a broad treatment we reach for when fish show signs of combined skin and gill trouble, which often appears together after fish have been kept or shipped in poor conditions, a common scenario for newly bought stock. Flashing against decor, clamped fins, excess slime and laboured breathing can point to both bacterial and external parasite involvement at once, and this formula is designed to tackle that mixed picture rather than a single cause.

As with any blue dye-based medication, we always advise removing activated carbon so it isn’t stripped from the water, keeping aeration high because warm 27-29C water holds less oxygen and gill-affected fish struggle most, and treating in a hospital tank where possible since the dye can stain silicone and stress sensitive shrimp and plants. Dose strictly to the bottle for your tank volume, and address the underlying water quality that let the outbreak start.

It is stocked in our conditioners and medication range. Identify the cause with our parasite identification guide, treat safely using our quarantine protocol, and correct conditions with our water parameters guide.
