Fungal Infection

• Whitish cottony tufts or patches appear on the mouth, skin and fins of tropical fish, goldfish and koi.

• We recommend API PIMAFIX.

Fin And Tail Rot

• Fins appear ragged and split. Disease can progress until fins and tail are completely eroded.

• Secondary fungal infections commonly occur.

• We recommend API MELAFIX (or BETTAFIX if you have a betta fish), or alternatively PIMAFIX or FIN & BODY CURE.

Dropsy and Malawi Bloat

• Fish develop a bloated appearance due to accumulation of fluid in the body cavity.

• Scales may appear to stick out from the sides of fish.

• In advanced cases, fish lose the ability to swim and may float upside down.

• We recommend API MELAFIX (or BETTAFIX if you have a betta fish) or PIMAFIX, or alternatively FIN & BODY CURE.

Bacterial Hemorrhagic Septicemia

• Fish show blood streaks in the fins and body.

• We recommend API MELAFIX (or BETTAFIX if you have a betta fish), or alternatively PIMAFIX or FIN & BODY CURE.

Eye Cloud, Body Slime

• Eyes develop a whitish haze and/or protrude from the head.

• Hazy or slimy patches appear on the bodies of fish.

• If infested with parasites, fish may scratch on objects in the aquarium and exhibit rapid breathing.

• We recommend API MELAFIX (or BETTAFIX if you have a betta fish), or alternatively PIMAFIX or FIN & BODY CURE.

Open Red Sores

• Fish exhibit open red sores on the body.

• We recommend API MELAFIX (or BETTAFIX if you have a betta fish), or alternatively PIMAFIX, E.M ERYTHROMYCIN or FIN & BODY CURE.

Mouth Fungus - Saddleback Disease

• Raised, gray patches are observed on the fins and mouth areas of fish.

• Live bearers, such as guppies and mollies, develop grayish patches on their backs, giving rise to the name “saddle back disease.”

• Infected areas may develop into red ulcers and infect the gills, causing rapid loss of fish.

• We recommend API MELAFIX (or BETTAFIX if you have a betta fish) or PIMAFIX, or alternatively E.M ERYTHROMYCIN or FIN & BODY CURE.

Bacterial Gill Disease

• Fish will scratch against objects and appear listless. A grayish film may form on the body.

• Rapid breathing in fish may be accompanied by gasping at the surface of the water, or the fish sitting on the bottom of the aquarium.

• Gills undergo severe damage, leading to suffocation and death.

• We recommend API MELAFIX (or BETTAFIX if you have a betta fish), or alternatively PIMAFIX, E.M ERYTHROMYCIN or FIN & BODY CURE.

Flukes

Hole in the head

Ich white spot fish diseasse

subclinical parasitic infestation

Flukes/Parasitic Worms

• Most parasitic worms are not visible without the aid of a microscope. Fish will scratch against objects and appear listless. A grayish film may form one the body.

• Rapid breathing in fish may be accompanied by gasping at the surface of the water, or the fish sitting on the bottom of the aquarium.

• Gills undergo severe damage, leading to suffocation and death.

• We recommend API GENERAL CURE. For secondary or fungal infection, use MELAFIX (or BETTAFIX if you have a betta fish) and PIMAFIX together.

Hole-In-The-Head Disease (Hexamita)

• The most obvious symptom is the pitting and erosion of skin and muscle tissue around the face of the fish. This erosion appears to be a symptom of the parasite's presence in the intestinal tract, not on the surface of the fish.

• Many fish exhibit poor appetite, weight loss and nervousness; without proper treatment, death ultimately results.

• We recommend API GENERAL CURE

Ich (Ichthyophthirius)

• Early symptoms of this infection in fish include darting in the aquarium and scratching against the gravel and ornaments.

• Fish exhibit labored breathing and may remain at the water's surface, near filters and aeration devices.

• White spots may or may not be visible on the fish.

• We recommend API SUPER ICK CURE along with API AQUARIUM SALT

Subclinical Parasitic Infestation

• Fish may scratch on objects in the aquarium.

• Slimy skin may develop on fish and fins may be clamped.

• Labored breathing may be observed.

• We recommend API SUPER ICK CURE along with API AQUARIUM SALT.

Product Description

Rid your fish of ich quickly and effectively with API LIQUID SUPER ICK CURE Freshwater and Saltwater Fish Medicatio. API LIQUID SUPER ICK CURE Freshwater and Saltwater Fish Medicatio works quickly to heal freshwater fish of icthyophthirius ("Ich") or Cryptocaryon, highly contagious parasitic diseases. Ich, also called white spot disease, is a highly contagious and destructive, microscopic parasite that burrows into gill and skin tissue, causing severe damage and secondary infections. Early symptoms include white spots, darting and scratching against surfaces while more advanced stages can cause labored breathing. This freshwater fish treatment not only helps cure Ich, but it also provides a synthetic slime coat that helps protect against secondary infection, where the natural slime coating of the fish has been disturbed by the parasite. Use at the first sign of "Ich" or white spots. Some scaleless fish are sensitive to this medication, so treat them with 1/2 the normal dose. Some saltwater invertebrates, such as corals, may be sensitive to this product, so it is not recommended for reef aquariums. This medication will cause a slight discoloration of water which can be easily removed by adding activated carbon to the filter. Dose according to directions on product packaging and label. This treatment can be used in freshwater or saltwater aquariums. With API Aquarium products, it’s easy to keep a beautiful saltwater, freshwater or reef aquarium. For over 50 years, API has been creating innovative, research-driven solutions that make it easier to care for your fish and aquarium. API Aquarium Treatment Supplies are designed to work in conjunction with each other to provide best results to control algae, promote healthy bacterial growth and help control and cure fish diseases and conditions such as ich and fin rot. They work to provide a safe, hospitable environment for fish such as tropical community fish, cichlids, goldfish and more. With API, you can spend more time admiring your fish, and less time scrubbing your tank. Make sure to use all products as directed in order to ensure the best results.

Really works
5 Stars
Really works
We noticed our catfish was acting funny and saw white spots on him suddenly when he didnt have any these past couple days. We did a quick google searched it and realized it was ich. We then saw some specks on the fins of our new mollies as well and realized that petsmart might have had some sick fish but thanks to this product, it seems to have solved our problem super quick! So we ordered this at 2am as mentioned and arrived same day, followed the directions to a T and no joke, only about 5ish hours later, my catfish who was the most affected and barely swimming has nearly zero specks on him and back to swimming around like usual. I cant see any specks on the mollies and everyone is super happy it seems. We also got a tank heater which brought the temp from 72 to 79/80 which is noted to help with the ich medication which also seems to have done some good. Overall super happy. I will do the second dose in 48 hours as directed but im already very happy with the results. A great item to have on hand.
Thank you for your feedback
