Enter disease details

What type of fish are affected?

Different medications are available for ponds, marines and freshwater fishes and it is important to select the correct one.

My fish have parasites

Parasites may be visible as tiny spots and often cause fish to gasp, scratch and hold their fins tightly against their bodies.

My fish have a bacterial infection

Bacterial infections can cause the skin to look sore and red, make fins look rotten and create holes and ulcers in the body and mouth.

My fish have a fungal infection

Fungi usually occur on open wounds and look like cotton wool. Fungal infections often occur with other diseases, especially bacterial infections like finrot.

My system contains invertebrates

Many treatments, especially those for parasites, can kill crabs, snails, shrimps, starfishes, corals and other invertebrates. Check this box if you have any of these animals in your aquarium or pond so we can try and find safer alternatives.
