FixIck is a revolutionary new way to treat aquatic external parasites. FixIck does not contain formaldehyde, a common active in many ich treatments. Formaldehyde treatments cause damage to gills and internal organs, which can result in additional stress and fish loss. FixIck additionally has antibacterial and anti-fungal properties, preventing some secondary infections with no additional medications, resulting in even higher recovery rates.
Active Ingredient: Gentian violet
Use Fixick for outbreaks of aquatic parasites including including Ick, Chilodonella, Trichodina and Tetrahymena. FixIck is not recommended in systems with fresh or saltwater invertebrates, or coral.
