Medications/Treatments Microbe-Lift Ich-Out MICROBE-LIFT/ Ich-Out is the safest and most effective treatment for "ich" and many other protozoan-caused diseases in aquarium fish (e.g. those diseases caused by Ichthyophthirius, Cryptocaryon, Costia, Trichodina, Chilodonella, Oodinium and Amyloodinium).

The signs of both diseases is the presence of small white cysts that appear as raised spots that resemble salt crystals on the body and fins of the diseased fish. It is also an effective treatment for fungal infections of aquarium fish. • Treats "ich" diseases in freshwater and saltwater • Safe for use on most scaleless fish and tetras When used as directed  MICROBE-LIFT/Ich-Out will not harm biological filtration and is generally recognized as safe for use on scaleless catfish, tetras and loaches.

It also slows the uptake of water into the fish"s body and reduces the amount of urine they have to expel. Pond salts are also an important dietary source of minerals that the fish absorb through the gills and skin. Directions: Add 23 tablespoons (340 g) for every 100 gallons of water.
