Symptoms of the above include whitish-yellowish slimy deposits and/or cotton wool-like tufts, ulcerated skin, sores, inflammations, red spots, loss of skin and scales, raised scales, fin rot, cloudy mucous membranes, white fluffy patches around the mouth, lurching movements (unusual racing

Medication for the prevention of spawning- related fungal infections and for the disinfection of newly added fish, aquatic plants (including the prevention of snail infestation) and decorative objects, etc. The special combination of active agents in ektomor brings about a gentle and long-lasting release of oxygen and is therefore a particularly agreeable form of medication.
