Medication for ornamental fish against protozoan parasites, such as Oodinium ocellatum (coral fish disease in marine water), Oodinium pilularis (velvet disease in freshwater), Chilodonella, Costia, Trichodina, Cryptocarion and the associated secondary fungal and bacterial infections. Visible symptoms include pale grey to dark, velvetlike films and barely visible spots (smaller than those which occur in the case of Ichthyophthirius) which spread to the entire body in the latter stages of the infection.
The gills stick out and the affected fish show signs of increased breathing to the point of respiratory distress.
