- Utrydder ektoparasitter og sopp-, bakterie- og viruslesjoner
- Tryggere å dosere enn formaldehyd, formalin og metanol
- Vil ikke påvirke biofilteret negativt
Beskrivelse
ParaGuard™ er det eneste parasittkontrollproduktet som er tilgjengelig (for parasitter på fisk) og er trygge for fisk og filter. I motsetning til svært giftige og vanskelige å bruke formalinbaserte medisiner, inneholder ParaGuard™ ikke formaldehyd eller metanol og vil ikke endre pH-verdien. ParaGuard™ benytter en proprietær, synergistisk blanding av aldehyder, malakittgrønt og fiskebeskyttende polymerer som effektivt og virkningsfullt utrydder mange ektoparasitter (f.eks. fisk osv.) og eksterne sopp-/bakterielle/viruslesjoner (f.eks. finneråte). Det er spesielt nyttig i sykehus- og mottaksakvarier for ny fisk, og når ny fisk introduseres i et samfunnsakvarium.

Veibeskrivelse
Dosering
Fjern alle virvelløse dyr fra tanken, samt eventuell kjemisk filtrering. Bruk 5 ml (1 kork) ParaGuard™ for hver 40 liter (10 amerikanske gallon). Gjenta denne dosen daglig etter behov så lenge fisken ikke viser stress.
ParaGuard™ can also be used as a medicated dip. For 1 hour dips, use 3 mL per 4 L (1 US gallon) in a container separate from your main tank. Dips may be extended if the fish show no evidence of stress. Keep in mind that many diseases linger in the water as well as on the fish. Giving a fish a dip treatment does no good if they go right back into infected water.
Quarantine
This is a tank set up in order monitor and medicate new fish before they go into the main tank. ParaGuard is gentle enough to use prophylactically (without visible symptoms) if needed. Quarantine times vary, but we generally recommend 2 weeks of treatment with ParaGuard™ to clear out any possible external infections.
Sensitive Fish
Some fish are more sensitive to medications than others. Eels, loaches, rays, sharks, and many others are well known for their sensitivity to all kinds of medications. If you suspect that your fish may be sensitive to medications, it is just fine to start with a partial dose and build up to the full dose over several days.
Not recommended for reef aquaria. As an alternative, use Seachem’s MetroPlex™.
Common Fish Diseases Treatable with ParaGuard
Ich (White Spot)
Ichthyophthirius (freshwater) / Cryptocaryon (saltwater)
Looks like salt sprinkled on the fish’s body and fins. Usually accompanied by twitching, flashing, and other signs of stress and irritation. Several parasites are grouped under this name, but the symptoms are almost identical. Ich is among the most common infections of fish, and is entirely treatable with diligence and attention to water quality.
Suggested Treatment Period:
14 days in freshwater, up to 28 days in saltwater
Special Considerations
It is very important with this parasite to continue dosing for the full treatment period. A break in the medication allows the parasite to multiply and reinfect the fish.
Velvet
Piscinoodinium (freshwater) / Amyloodinium (saltwater)
Similar to Ich, but smaller and grey-gold. Most often seen in saltwater, but can occur in freshwater as well. Velvet is less common than Ich, but the treatment is almost identical.
Suggested Treatment Period:
14-21 days
Special Considerations
Velvet is a photosynthetic parasite - it will help with treatment if you can turn off the lights while the fish are infected
Fin Rot
Bacterial infection
Fins appear shredded, frayed, or decaying. Fin Rot is frequently mistaken for damage from fin-nipping fish. Contrary to the name, this is actually caused by bacteria, not fungus.
Suggested Treatment Period:
7 days or until infection clears
Special Considerations
Fin Rot is often found as a secondary infection (that’s an infection that started because the fish was already sick). Make sure to check for additional infections.
Flukes (Gill and Body)
Dactylogyrus trematodes (skin) / Monogenenean trematodes (gills)
Fisken virker treg, blinker mot steiner, gisper ofte og viser andre tegn på stress. Irrflått er vanskelig å diagnostisere fordi selve parasitten ikke kan sees før i de avanserte stadiene av infeksjonen. Se etter gispende, overdreven slimproduksjon, rykninger og blinkende følelser, og gjennomskinnelige flekker (fremskredne infeksjoner).
Foreslått behandlingsperiode:
14 dager eller til infeksjonen er borte
Spesielle hensyn
Dyppebehandlinger med ParaGuard™ er nyttige for å behandle og forebygge ikter, men husk at denne parasitten tilbringer deler av livssyklusen sin i vannet og substratet ditt – hele akvariet må behandles for å fjerne infeksjonen.
De er ikke alltid på fisken!
Ich, fløyelssvamp og mange andre parasitter tilbringer en stor del av livssyklusen sin som en cyste som er immun mot medisiner og gjemmer seg i underlaget i akvariet ditt. Husk at du må fullføre hele behandlingen selv om du ikke lenger kan se parasitter på fisken!
ADVARSEL! Ikke spis, drikk eller få i øynene! Ved kontakt med øynene, skyll øynene straks og grundig med vann og kontakt lege.
Produsent
Seachem’s philosophy is that the knowledgeable hobbyist makes the best customer. This is reflected in solid and reliable customer education and support as well as products proven in science and performance. While Seachem has grown rapidly into a national and international firm, it retains the culture of a small company and is readily available to its customers.
For over 40 years, Seachem has been a company rooted in sound science. Our experience in the hobby and an educated staff of chemists and biologists are part of the package when you purchase Seachem products. Seachem remains as one of the few surviving independent and privately owned pet care companies. Seachem is owned and operated by hobbyists. All of our employees are hobbyists who maintain aquariums at home and at the office. Seachem itself was started because one such passionate hobbyist - Dr. Leo G. Morin (Founder) - recognized that the available solutions to aquarists' problems were wanting. This resulted in Seachem’s very first product: Cupraplex™ (today known as Cupramine™). Over thirty years later, Seachem is still approaching old problems in a new way.
Seachem has been in business over 40 years and is now sold
in over 60 countries worldwide.
Innovation means approaching old problems in a new way. Seachem doesn’t simply repackage old ideas, nor do we package new ideas that require the suspension of fundamental physical or chemical principles. We offer truly innovative solutions that work better than competing products and save money through increased efficiency and concentration. Seachem products have been and continue to be based on sound science. They now cover the full spectrum of aquarium requirements in freshwater, seawater, reefs, and ponds as well as herpetological and avian husbandry. They include buffers, conditioners, filtration media, medications, and test kits. The JurassiPet® line includes foods, nutritive supplements, and products for enclosure maintenance and parasite control. Most of Seachem’s products are totally unique and specific to Seachem. With our premium line, aquavitro®, our goal is to have a line that is an outlet for rapid response to the advent of new technologies and information as they arise, something we couldn’t do with the very well established Seachem line. We’ve distilled the essential components of reef keeping and plant keeping into a no compromises, rigorously optimized product line, and added conditioners and filtration that outperform the already high standards we've set with the Seachem line. We’re committed to maintaining that optimization.
