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 bacterial infections should be treated immediately.

Fungal infections are usually found at the site of an injury or recent attack from parasites. A true fungal infection has a cotton-like appearance similar to a mold found on fruit, bread or cheese, except that on a fish, a fungus is usually white. Fungal infections are very difficult to treat and are usually secondary invaders resulting from an injury on the fish or recent wounds from parasites or bacterial infection. Fish are typically unable to heal from this type of infection on their own, and left untreated are not likely to survive.

Directions

The use of a hospital tank is recommended. Switch off UV sterilizers during treatment.

• Use 1/2 capful (2.5 mL) per 10 gallons of water. Repeat as needed for not more than 5 days.
• It is suggested to always increase tank aeration during treatment to ensure an adequate oxygen supply for sick fish.

Note: Not suitable for use with starfish or related species. Should fish exhibit signs of distress neutralize the medication by using an aquarium dechlorinator. Consult a veterinarian or fish expert for assistance in diagnosis of disease-causing organisms and treatment options.
