Before Dosing:

Adjust the temperature inside of the aquarium to around 82-85°F. This reaised temperature helps to accelerate the life cycle of the parasites and allows for maximum exposure to Fritz FixIck. Prior to using this solution, remove all chemical filtration such as carbon or ion exchange resins and turn off any protein skimmers; you can resume use of these products after the successful completion of the treatment. Do not perform water changes during treatment if possible. If water changes are absolutely necessary, treat the replacement water with FixIck. This solution may stain some ornaments and ornaments should be removed prior to dosing if this is a concern.

Shake well before each dose. One complete course of treatment will take six days. If the fish are eating, feed lightly during treatment.

  • Day 1: Add 5 drops per gallon/5 ml (1 tsp) per 10 gallons
  • Day 2: Add 5 drops per gallon/5 ml (1 tsp) per 10 gallons
  • Day 3: Perform a 25 to 30% water change
