Fritz Maracyn Oxy

Fritz Maracyn® Oxy is a fast and effective treatment for true fungal infections on fish and eggs, characterized by whitish tufts of cotton-like material. This non-antibiotic formula slowly releases small amounts of a stabilized oxygen-chlorine combination, which can treat a wide variety of tropical fish diseases when used as directed. Fungal infections, usually found at the site of an injury or recent attack from parasites, appear as a cotton-like mold similar to what is found on fruit, bread, or cheese, but typically white on fish. These infections are very difficult to treat and often result from an injury or recent wounds from parasites or bacterial infection. Without treatment, the fungus continues to grow and can lead to the death of the fish. Fritz Maracyn® Oxy has also been shown to be effective against some gram-negative and gram-positive bacterial infections. The easy-dose liquid application can be used with other medications and is safe for most invertebrates and plants, as well as for both freshwater and saltwater systems.

Fritz Maracyn® Oxy successfully controls true fungal infections caused by Saprolegnia, Ichthyosporidium, egg fungus and related species, and some common bacterial infections, such as fin and tail rot. Fritz Maracyn® Oxy can be used to treat fish exhibiting the following symptoms: clamped fins, swollen eyes, heavy or rapid breathing, patchy coloration or any change in behavior of the fish.

All suspected infections should be treated immediately.
