Applications
Medication for ornamental freshwater and marine fish for the treatment of intestinal flagellates, (e.g. Hexamita, Spironucleus). Symptoms of intestinal flagellates include weight loss, whitish-slimy faeces, a tendency to remain in isolation from other fish and, in advanced stages, whitish holes developing around the head, especially in cichlids like the discus (“hole in the head disease”).

Dosage instructions and method of administration
Shake well before use. Follow the instructions below unless prescribed otherwise:
Day 1: Add 40 drops (2 ml) of hexamor 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 separate 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 cool in a container with aquarium water.
Day 2: Add 30 drops (1.5 ml) of hexamor 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. 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 - but not too thoroughly in order to retain some of the microorganisms.
Day 4 - 5: Do not add any medication to the water. Feed the fish as normal.
Day 6: Add 30 drops (1.5 ml) of hexamor 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 separate 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 cool in a container with aquarium water.
Day 7: 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 - but not too thoroughly in order to retain some of the microorganisms. - Special precautions for storage
