Fritz ParaShield - 118ml

Product overview

Fritz ParaShield is a non-copper slime-coat treatment for early external parasites. It lays a thin film on skin, fins, and tails so the oils in the formula stay in contact with the fish.

Use it for Ich, protozoan velvet, Costia, and Trichodina, or in quarantine after shipping. It does not use copper, malachite green, or formalin, and it will not stain silicone or plastic. It is not a heavy metal dip if the outbreak is advanced.

Key features

• Film: A polymer coating holds the treatment on the fish instead of washing straight off.
• Oils: Capsaicin, manuka, neem, and rosemary oils, plus chitosan and d-limonene.
• Filter and plants: Made to leave nitrifying bacteria and live plants intact when used as directed.
• No stain: No copper, malachite green, or formalin.

Water and system compatibility

• Water: Freshwater, brackish, and marine. Safe for plants, snails, shrimp, and corals when dosed as below.
• System: Display tanks and quarantine. Take out carbon and ion-exchange resins. Turn UV off. Turn down or off protein skimmers and strong airstones if they foam hard after dosing.
