It's surprisingly easy to provide your fish with a full range of vitamins, minerals and micro-nutrients by simply adding an effective supplement to their dried or frozen food before it is added to the aquarium. It is literally the work of a few seconds and can produce great results.
Whitespot and Velvet TreatmentsWhitespot and Velvet Treatments
Whitespot and Velvet infections are amongst the most common of all aquarium fish diseases. The protazoans which cause the infections are especially attracted to fish which are stressed or newly introduced to an aquarium. These organisms are deadly if left untreated and few treatments are as effective as one might wish. Thankfully we stock the most effective whitespot treatment on the market today. Indeed, we use it ourselves on a professional basis and have done for 25 years.
Fin Rot TreatmentsFin Rot Treatments
Fin Rot is caused by bacteria which settle into damaged fin tissue and eat it away, leaving fishes fins appearing ragged and sometimes reddened with small haemorages. The infection can spread on to the fishes body if left untreated which is usually deadly. It's best therefore to treat promptly and expect to carry on the treatment for 7 -10 days as fin rot can clear up slowly.
Fungus Treatments Fungus Treatments
All aquarium water contains fungal spores and when fish are injured or lose a scale, fungus spores may infect the wounded area and begin to grow, producing the furry areas so characteristic of the disease. Once fungus has gained a hold it will slowly spread, so swift treatment is an essential. Again, complete erradication can take a little while; make sure you have enough medication to last 10 days or so.
Aquarium PharmaceuticalsAquarium Pharmaceuticals
A small but innovative range of treatments, uniquely based on natural anti-bacterial and anti-fungal ingredients, Aquarium Pharmaceuticals brand products are extremely effective, yet gentle. These treatments are often very curative where other, chemical based formulations have failed.
Waterlife TreatmentsWaterlife Treatments
Used by so many professional fish keepers, Waterlife treaments are effective and reliable. Unlike other competing brands, all formulations in this range are bio-degradable so there is no need to perform a series of water changes after use. In particular Protazin is a superb treatment for Whitespot, whilst Myxazin is a brilliant bacteriacide and general aquarium disinfectant. We have relied on these treatments over two decades.





Occasional fish health issues are a fact of aquarium life.

Fish live far longer in a well maintained aquarium than they would do in the wild. In addition, even the largest aquarium is a limited environment, compared to a natural river or stream. This is why health problems appear far more frequently in most aquariums than may be expected in the wild.

It's essential therefore, to keep a decent "aquarium first aid box" at home to be able to promptly treat any arising infections. As a minimum, a decent whitespot treatment such as Waterlife Protazin should be included along iwth a good bacteriacide such as Waterlife Myxazin and a decent fungicide should also be considered an essential: we recommend Aquarium Pharmaceuticals Pimafix.

Quick and effective treatment will make all the difference against disease in the aquarium. Do not wait if you think something is wrong; your fish will not get better without your help.

Disease diagnosis is however, a difficult area for many fish keepers and it's always best to seek expert advice. Don't be afraid to call or email our technical support team who are all extremely skilled in this area.
