Seachem ParaGuard

• Eradicates ectoparasites and fungal, bacterial, and viral lesions
• Safer to dose than formaldehyde, formalin, and methanol
• Will not adversely effect bio-filter

Overview

ParaGuard™ is the only fish and filter safe aldehyde based (10% by weight) parasite control product available (for parasites on fish). Unlike highly toxic and difficult to use formalin based medications, ParaGuard™ contains no formaldehyde or methanol and will not alter pH. ParaGuard™ employs a proprietary, synergistic blend of aldehydes, malachite green, and fish protective polymers that effectively and efficiently eradicates many ectoparasites (e.g. ich, etc.) and external fungal/bacterial/viral lesions (e.g., fin rot). It is particularly useful in hospital and receiving tanks for new fish and whenever new fish are introduced to a community tank.

Indications

ParaGuard™ is appropriate for treating a variety of parasitic infections of exotic fish including Ich, Velvet, Fin Rot, and Flukes. Be aware that many diseases and infections share similar physical and behavioral symptoms, e.g. clamped fins, lesions, loss of appetite.
