Fungal Infection

• Whitish cottony tufts or patches appear on the mouth, skin and fins of tropical fish, goldfish and koi.

• We recommend API PIMAFIX.

Fin And Tail Rot

• Fins appear ragged and split. Disease can progress until fins and tail are completely eroded.

• Secondary fungal infections commonly occur.

• We recommend API MELAFIX (or BETTAFIX if you have a betta fish), or alternatively PIMAFIX or FIN & BODY CURE.

Dropsy and Malawi Bloat

• Fish develop a bloated appearance due to accumulation of fluid in the body cavity.

• Scales may appear to stick out from the sides of fish.

• In advanced cases, fish lose the ability to swim and may float upside down.

• We recommend API MELAFIX (or BETTAFIX if you have a betta fish) or PIMAFIX, or alternatively FIN & BODY CURE.

Bacterial Hemorrhagic Septicemia

• Fish show blood streaks in the fins and body.

• We recommend API MELAFIX (or BETTAFIX if you have a betta fish), or alternatively PIMAFIX or FIN & BODY CURE.

Eye Cloud, Body Slime

• Eyes develop a whitish haze and/or protrude from the head.

• Hazy or slimy patches appear on the bodies of fish.

• If infested with parasites, fish may scratch on objects in the aquarium and exhibit rapid breathing.

• We recommend API MELAFIX (or BETTAFIX if you have a betta fish), or alternatively PIMAFIX or FIN & BODY CURE.

Open Red Sores

• Fish exhibit open red sores on the body.

• We recommend API MELAFIX (or BETTAFIX if you have a betta fish), or alternatively PIMAFIX, E.M ERYTHROMYCIN or FIN & BODY CURE.

Mouth Fungus - Saddleback Disease

• Raised, gray patches are observed on the fins and mouth areas of fish.

• Live bearers, such as guppies and mollies, develop grayish patches on their backs, giving rise to the name “saddle back disease.”

• Infected areas may develop into red ulcers and infect the gills, causing rapid loss of fish.

• We recommend API MELAFIX (or BETTAFIX if you have a betta fish) or PIMAFIX, or alternatively E.M ERYTHROMYCIN or FIN & BODY CURE.

Bacterial Gill Disease

• Fish will scratch against objects and appear listless. A grayish film may form on the body.

• Rapid breathing in fish may be accompanied by gasping at the surface of the water, or the fish sitting on the bottom of the aquarium.

• Gills undergo severe damage, leading to suffocation and death.

• We recommend API MELAFIX (or BETTAFIX if you have a betta fish), or alternatively PIMAFIX, E.M ERYTHROMYCIN or FIN & BODY CURE.

Flukes

Hole in the head

Ich white spot fish diseasse

subclinical parasitic infestation

Flukes/Parasitic Worms

• Most parasitic worms are not visible without the aid of a microscope. Fish will scratch against objects and appear listless. A grayish film may form one the body.

• Rapid breathing in fish may be accompanied by gasping at the surface of the water, or the fish sitting on the bottom of the aquarium.

• Gills undergo severe damage, leading to suffocation and death.

• We recommend API GENERAL CURE. For secondary or fungal infection, use MELAFIX (or BETTAFIX if you have a betta fish) and PIMAFIX together.

Hole-In-The-Head Disease (Hexamita)

• The most obvious symptom is the pitting and erosion of skin and muscle tissue around the face of the fish. This erosion appears to be a symptom of the parasite's presence in the intestinal tract, not on the surface of the fish.

• Many fish exhibit poor appetite, weight loss and nervousness; without proper treatment, death ultimately results.

• We recommend API GENERAL CURE

Ich (Ichthyophthirius)

• Early symptoms of this infection in fish include darting in the aquarium and scratching against the gravel and ornaments.

• Fish exhibit labored breathing and may remain at the water's surface, near filters and aeration devices.

• White spots may or may not be visible on the fish.

• We recommend API SUPER ICK CURE along with API AQUARIUM SALT

Subclinical Parasitic Infestation

• Fish may scratch on objects in the aquarium.

• Slimy skin may develop on fish and fins may be clamped.

• Labored breathing may be observed.

• We recommend API SUPER ICK CURE along with API AQUARIUM SALT.

Important information

Directions

Directs: for best results, remove filter media and continue aeration. For each 10 gallons of water, empty one packet directly into aquarium. Repeat dose after 24 hours. After another 24 hours, perform a partial water change (25%). Repeat this treatment for a second time for a total of 4 doses, then make a 25% water change and add fresh filter media. Treatment may be repeated if necessary. Note: this medication will cause a slight discoloration of water which can be removed with BIO-CHEM ZORB or activated carbon. Tip: Antibiotic medicine may inhibit the biological filter. Adding API QUICK START, a nitrifying bacteria, is recommended after treatment to boost the biological filter. This package treats up to 100 gallons. Four doses required for full course of treatment.

Cured Betta Fin Rot

Cured Betta Fin Rot
Prior to starting the API Furan-2 treatment on my new betta, he had a severe case of fin rot, as seen in the first picture which was his worst condition. I first treated him with aquarium salt, which I found had no visible effect. Next, I used two other medications. I noticed that these two treatments stopped the progression of the disease. However, my fish was not growing his fins back. His tank conditions were optimal, his water tested perfectly, and I was performing regular water changes.I then decided to treat with Furan-2, and after the four days of treatment, I did a 50% water change. It has been 3 days since I finished the course of treatment and I have seen more improvement in my fish in these few days than I saw out of the past 3 weeks. You can see the growth that is occurring on the outer edge of his fins and how he is overall more healthy.I am extremely satisfied with this product and I think that it has worked wonders on my betta!
