Manaus Trichosal

Description

Manaus Trichosal is a powerful, broad-spectrum aquarium medication specifically developed for the effective treatment of the most common diseases caused by bacterial infections, fungal infections, and skin parasites in freshwater aquariums.

This medication offers a targeted solution against the pathogens that cause common problems such as fin rot, fungal growth (Saprolegnia), and open sores. Because bacteria and fungi often work together, Trichosal addresses both the primary infection and common secondary infections, ensuring a faster and more complete recovery. It is also the first choice when symptoms do not yet clearly indicate a single disease but do indicate a serious external infection.
Furthermore, it can be used preventatively to protect vulnerable fish eggs from fungal growth.

As a precaution, you should remove ornamental snails (e.g., Helena snails and zebra snails) from the aquarium before starting treatment.

Trichosal may cause discoloration of the aquarium water.

The main advantages of Manaus Trichosal:

• Broad and targeted operation:
  it effectively fights bacterial infections (such as Flexibacter columnaris and Pseudomonas), fungal infections (Saprolegnia and Achlya) and certain skin parasites (Trichodina, Chilodonella, Ichthyobodo).
• Combats multiple symptoms at once:
  Its broad spectrum makes it effective against common cosmetic problems such as fin rot, ulcers, bulging eyes and the cottonwool-like fluff of fungus.
• Helps with secondary infections:
  since fungal infections are often a secondary problem after a bacterial infection or parasitic damage, Trichosal addresses the complete cause and effect.
• Preventive use possible (eggs):
  it can be used preventively to prevent mold in fish eggs in breeding, which increases the survival rate of the young fish.
• Clear and does not cloud the water:
  Trichosal contains no polymer solvents and therefore does not cause cloudiness (bacterial bloom) in aquarium water. Note: it may slightly discolor the water due to the active dyes.
• Easy to dose and apply:
  with the clear instruction it is easy to determine the correct dosage and administer the medicine. It is a ready-to-use solution.

Signs and symptoms of bacterial and fungal infections:

Look for the following symptoms in your fish:

• Fin rot and tail rot (Bacterial):
  the edges of the fins and tail become inflamed, milky, ragged and eventually fall off.
• Bloody spots and sores (Bacterial):
  reddish, inflamed spots, bumps, lumps or open sores on the skin and at the base of the fins (often caused by Aeromonas or Pseudomonas bacteria).
• Cotton-like deposit (mold):
  bright, fluffy, cottony tufts or balls on the skin, fins, or on fish eggs (Saprolegnia and Achlya).
• White spots near mouth (Bacterial – Columnaris):
  white, often cotton-like spots around the mouth, which can later develop into ‘mouth fungus’ (caused by Flexibacter columnaris).
• Bulging eyes (Bacterial):
  one or both eyes bulge (exophthalmos), often due to fluid buildup behind the eye.
• Swollen body and scales:
  the body swells and the scales stand off the body, indicating fluid retention (ascites – often a symptom of a serious bacterial infection).
• Dull colors and listlessness:
  the fish hangs listlessly, loses color and holds its fins close to its body..
• Breathing problems:
  rapid or heavy breathing due to infections on the gills.
• No or reduced appetite:
  the fish stops taking in food.

When recognizing the above symptoms, it is important to treat the fish quickly to prevent further weakening of the animals. If possible, confirm the diagnosis with the aid of microscopic examination.

Dosage and use

Standard dosage:
Day 1: 50% water change before starting treatment, 1 ml per 40 liters of aquarium water.
Day 2: 1 ml per 40 liters of aquarium water.

In severe cases:
3rd and 5th day: 1 ml per 40 liters of aquarium water.

Important:

• During the treatment, the aquarium filter must remain switched on.
• The water temperature should not exceed 29 °C.
• Calculate the exact volume of your aquarium (water only).
• Dispense the correct amount using the measuring cap provided.
• Do not overdose!
• Trichosal should not be used in combination with other medicines.
• Remove activated carbon or nitrate resin from the filter during the treatment, as these can affect the effectiveness of the medication.
• Ensure sufficient aeration of the aquarium during the treatment.
• Ensure good water flow so that the medicine can be optimally distributed in the aquarium.
• The water quality must be good before using this product. It is advisable to change 20 – 25% of the water every week and to regularly vacuum the bottom.

*Always consult the product leaflet before use.

After 2 – 3 days of starting the treatment, a progressive recovery occurs. For the success of the treatment, it is then important that the animals resume their food intake, so that the gastrointestinal tract of the sick fish becomes active again.
By including food in the treatment water, the medicines reach the pathogens even better.
The symptoms may disappear in the days after the end of the treatment. If the treatment has not helped sufficiently, the treatment can be repeated after a break of one week in persistent cases.

In exceptional cases, water clouding occurs during treatment due to bacterial growth and associated oxygen deficiency. In that case, the treatment must be interrupted with a large water change of 80%.
