  • Applications

    Medication for the prevention and treatment of most infectious diseases affecting ornamental freshwater and seawater fish. medimor prevents many infectious diseases in ornamental fish, such as protozoan infections (e.g. Ichthyobodo, Chilodonella, Ichthyophthirius), bacterial infections (e.g. Columnaris) and fungal infections (e.g. Saprolegnia). medimor is particularly suitable in cases of uncertain
    diagnosis, providing a reliable means of defence against the majority of infections. Symptoms: Whitish to yellowish slimy deposits, 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 mouth, lurching movements (unusual racing around tank), protruding eyes (exophthalmus),
    swollen abdomen (abdominal dropsy).

  • Types and quantities of active substances:

    2.75 mg Methylthionine chloride

  • Contraindications and side effects

  • Species

    Ornamental fish

  • Dosage instructions and method of administration

    Shake well before use. Any ultraviolet light systems fitted in the tank must be turned off during treatment.
    Day 1: Add 30 drops (= 1.5 ml) of medimor to the aquarium for each 100 l of water and stir to distribute.  Do not feed the fish. Remove the filter from the aquarium and place it over a container to continue running in order to keep the microorganisms in the filter. Oxygenate the aquarium water. If the water cannot be oxygenated without operating the filter then we recommend running the filter without filtration media in order to ensure sufficient water circulation. In this case keep the filtration media in a container with plenty of aquarium water.
    Day 2: Add 15 drops (= 0.75 ml) of medimor to the aquarium for each 100 l of water and stir to distribute. Do not feed the fish.
    Day 3: Do not add any medication to the water. Feed the fish as normal. Change approx. 30 % of the aquarium water. Put the filter back into operation. If the filtration media has been stored separately then the water must not be put back in the aquarium. In this case partially wash the filtration media out with lukewarm water (not too thoroughly in order to retain some of the microorganisms) and put back in the filter.
    Day 4, Day 5, Day 6: Do not add any medication to the water. Feed the fish as normal. Leave the filter running.
    Day 7: Add 30 drops (= 1.5 ml) of medimor to the aquarium for each 100 l of water and stir to distribute.  Do not feed the fish. Remove the filter from the aquarium and place it over a container to continue running in order to keep the microorganisms in the filter. Oxygenate the aquarium water. If the water cannot be oxygenated without operating the filter then we recommend running the filter without filtration media in order to ensure sufficient water circulation. In this case keep the filtration media in a container with plenty of aquarium water.
    Day 8: Do not add any medication to the water. Feed the fish as normal. Change approx. 30 % of the aquarium water. Put the filter back into operation. If the filtration media has been stored separately then the water must not be put back in the aquarium. In this case partially wash the filtration media out with lukewarm water (not too thoroughly in order to retain some of the microorganisms) and put back in the filter.
