Applications

Medication for ornamental fish for the treatment of Ichthyophthirius (“white spot disease”) and the attendant bacterial infections.   chthyophthirius is one of the most common infections in ornamental fish. Visible symptoms include white spots resembling grains of sand on the gills, fins and the whole body which can spread out over wide areas. Infected fish will clamp their fins and try to rub against rough   surfaces to get rid of the parasites. Fishes with a heavy infestation on the gills will quickly become lethargic and suffer rapid weight loss.

Dosage instructions and method of administration

Shake well before use. Follow the instructions below unless prescribed otherwise:
Day 1:        Add 20 drops (1 ml) of faunamor to the aquarium for each 100 l of water and stir to distribute. In severe cases the dose can be   doubled as long as there are no extremely delicate ornamental fish in the aquarium (e.g. catfish). Do not feed the fish. Remove the filter from the aquarium and place it over a separate container to continue running in order to keep the microorganisms in the filter. Oxygenate the aquarium water. If the water cannot be oxygenated without operating the filter then we recommend running the filter without filtration media in order to ensure sufficient water circulation. In this case keep the filtration media cool in a container with aquarium water.
Day 2:        Add 20 drops (1 ml) of faunamor to the aquarium for each 100 l of water and stir to distribute. Do not feed the fish.
Day 3:        Do not add any medication to the water. Feed the fish as normal. Put the filter back into operation. If the filtration media has      been stored separately then the water must not be put back in the aquarium. In this case partially wash the filtration media out with  lukewarm water (not too thoroughly in order to retain some of the microorganisms).
Days 4 - 6: Do not add any medication to the water. Feed the fish as normal.
Day 7:        Follow the instructions for Day 1.
Day 8:        Do not add any medication to the water. Feed the fish as normal. Change approx. 30 % of the aquarium water. Put the filter back into operation. If the filtration media has been stored separately then the water must not be put back in the aquarium. In this case partially wash the filtration media out with lukewarm water (not too thoroughly in order to retain some of the microorganisms).

Special precautions for storage

- Keep faunamor out of direct light. Store in its original packaging.

KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN

- Keep out of reach of children.

• The water will change colour due to the active agents but will return to normal again after a few days.
• Any ultraviolet light systems fitted in the tank must be turned off during the treatment.
• Do not use after the use-by date has expired.

Special precautions for the disposal of unused pharmaceuticals
