Description:

Assists in the treatment of whitespot and velvet disease in freshwater aquaria.

Ichonex assists in the treatment of whitespot (Ichthyophirius multifillis) disease, without the toxic effects of conventional treatments and without staining.

Ichonex (a copper based product) has a proven track record for effective control of whitespot infections in fish. The copper component is more toxic at low pH, so keep pH above 7.5.

Observe copper levels using Aquasonics Copper Test Kit.

Raising the temperature by 2-3 degree celsius will also assist with shortening the life cycle of the parasite thereby targeting the affected stage of ich life cycle, more effectively.

Dose Rate:

Please note that copper can be an issue when using with shrimp and catfish and some fish – this is a freshwater use product.
