NT Labs Octozin Hole in the Head & Bloat Disease Treatment 250ml
NT Labs Octozin harnesses Dimetridazole, a clinically proven active ingredient, in a straightforward, easy to use liquid formulation that delivers a complete 3-day course of treatment for Hole-in-the-head disease and Bloat in both coldwater and tropical aquariums.
Octozin is especially effective against species of bacteria and parasites that result in Bloat in African cichlids and cause Hole-in-the-head disease in a variety of fish species.
When to Use?
Use NT Labs Octozin when fish show symptoms of holes, pits, or lesions around the head, face, and/or lateral line. Also when fish show symptoms of abdominal bloating, protruding scales, white or clear trailing faeces, and loss of appetite.
How To Use NT Labs Octozin?
- Calculate aquarium volume
- Increase aeration
- Gently tip bottle 10 times (do not shake)
- Pre-mix dose with 1 litre of aquarium water and add slowly
- Complete a 30% water change 4 days after the final treatment
- Do not use alongside other medications
Please Note:
NT Labs Octozin may cause foam to appear on the surface, this is normal and soon fades. If your aquarium is heavily stocked or has low water flow, using this product without sufficient aeration may lead to adverse effects. Continue filtration during treatment but turn off UV sterilisers and ozonisers, remove zeolite and carbon. These can be turned on and added 4 days after the last treatment. Wait 4 days after the last treatment before completing a water change, except in an emergency.
Do not use any other medications during treatment. If you feel a second round of treatment is required, first check your diagnosis is correct, test your water quality using NT Labs Test Kits and carry out a 30% partial water change.
