EIHO General Aid

Treat skin rot and tail rot in injured fish

EIHO GENERAL AID is effective for treating skin and tail rot cause by bacteria. This disease usually arises after fish undergo stressful conditions such as poor handling or catching, fish transport, poor water conditions, fish fighting. Symptoms include:

Shedding of scales

Redness and infection on body with ulcer

Tail and fin rot (fins appear frayed and reddish)

Fish appear weak

Injury due to fights

General Aid is formulated with two strong anti-bacteria medication that is highly effective in combating common skin bacteria. At the same time, it will not stress out the fishes. It is highly suitable for goldfish, koi, cichlid and arowana.

Directions

1 cap (5ml) for 50L. Remove activated carbon during treatment. It is advised to buffer the pH of aquaria before using general aid. In soft water environment, use half the dosage. For persistent infection, additional dosage can be added on the fourth and eighth days. Can be used as a preventative measure or when adding new fish. Application of 5ml for 100L every 10 days.

Treating skin and tail rot with EIHO General Aid in SG tanks

General Aid is an antibacterial treatment we reach for when fish develop skin and tail rot after a stressful episode, poor handling or netting, a long transport home from the shop, rough water conditions, or fighting and fin-nipping in a crowded tank. Early signs include shedding scales, reddened patches, frayed or receding fins and visible ulcers. Acting promptly, before the rot reaches the fin base or breaks the skin further, gives the fish the best chance to heal cleanly.

For an effective course we always advise removing activated carbon so it doesn’t strip the medication, keeping aeration strong in our warm 27-29C water, and ideally moving the affected fish to a hospital tank so you can treat without disturbing tankmates or a planted display. Just as important, fix what caused the stress, whether that’s overstocking, water quality, or aggression, otherwise the same fish often relapses once treatment ends. Dose strictly by the bottle for your volume.

It is part of our conditioners and medication range. See our fin rot treatment guide for the full method, our quarantine protocol for safe treatment, and our water parameters guide to remove the underlying stressor.
