Fritz FixIck offers a revolutionary approach to treating common aquatic external parasites such as Ick, Chilodonella, Trichodina, and Tetrahymena. Unlike many traditional treatments, Fritz FixIck is free from formaldehyde and malachite green, making it a gentler and safer choice for your fish. Formaldehyde is known for causing damage to gills and internal organs, increasing stress and risk of fish loss. The active ingredient, Gentian Violet, provides a recognizable purple hue and is less harsh compared to malachite green, minimizing tissue damage. This fast-acting treatment requires only a single dose to be effective, with no reinfection reported after one week. Additionally, its antibacterial and antifungal properties may help prevent secondary infections without the need for extra medications, leading to higher recovery rates.
Fritz FixIck is suitable for both freshwater and saltwater systems, but it is not recommended for aquariums containing invertebrates or coral.
