Prevent Ich™ Organic Fish Disease Preventative Item No. 39544- 4 oz bottle PUROPOSE AND BENEFITS Making a proper diagnosis is one of the biggest challenges facing the aquarist or pond keeper. Discovering the onset of an illness and determining the proper response is critical in the animal's survival and errors are often made. These errors can be fatal. Prevent·Ich is a treatment composed of 100% organic ingredients. Its broad spectrum of activity and lack of toxicity make Prevent·Ich effective without requiring a specific diagnosis. It stops parasitic invasions from getting started and in turn prevents many secondary infections. It is effective against Ichthyophthirius (ich) as well as many other protozoans (single cell parasites such as dinoflagellates and fungus). Such protozoans in fresh water include, Costia, Trichodina, Chilodonella, and in salt water Cryptocaryon (saltwater ich), and Amyloodinium. In short, Prevent·Ich helps fishes fight off infections while the fishes themselves are still strong. The herbals used in Prevent·Ich have been selected because they have been shown to have a powerful effect against aquatic diseases, yet are far more forgiving on the animals than harsh chemicals. What Kordon has created, led by Dr. Michael Tierra - a well known herbalist whose books on natural botanical treatments are widely read - is to carefully determine which herbals can be used together to cover a wide spectrum of aquatic diseases. The result is completely unique, very effective, and truly easy to use. DIRECTIONS FOR USE in Fresh, Brackish, or Salt Water: Shake Well Before Each Use. Remove any carbon filtration media. For treating stressed fish and when netting, handling or adding new fish, amphibians,turtles and other aquatic reptiles: Add 1 teaspoonful (approx. 5 mL) of Prevent·Ich for every 10 gallons (approx. 40 liters) of water. Repeat dosage daily, 3-7 days of treatment will usually be sufficient. Cold water conditions may require a longer treatment time. Water changes are not required for this treatment to be effective. For established or severe infections use IchAttack, a more powerful herbal remedy and continue until a cure is effected. Prevent·Ich IS SAFE FOR USE IN ALL KINDS OF AQUARIUMS AND ORNAMENTAL PONDS: scaleless fishes (such as loaches, elephant noses,electric eels, knife fishes and catfishes), coral reef fishes young fish and fry, reef aquariums, aquatic plants, aquatic Invertebrates (such as snails, crustaceans, corals and sea anemones), amphibians and reptiles.
