• DESCRIPTION DETAILS FACTS DIRECTIONS WARNINGS Controls Diseases Caused by External Parasites For Use in Fresh or Saltwater Made in U.S.A. Kordon's Malachite Green is an effective medication used for the control of various external parasites of freshwater and marine fishes. When used as directed the medication will control or prevent the following common protozoan parasites: Ichthyophthinus (freshwater Ich), Costra, Chilodonella, Ambiphyra, Cryptocaryon (marine Ich), Epistylis, Oodinium and Trichodina. Kordon's Malachite Green is also effective against common external fungal infections of fishes and eggs which include Achlya and Saprolegnia. An extensive body of literature supports its use as an effective agent in the control of fungus on fish eggs. GENERAL DIAGNOSIS OF PARASITIC DISEASES OF FISHES The following brief summary of clinical signs often associated with the parasitic protozoans discussed above is intended only as an aid for the beginning aquarist. It is not to be thought of as a definitive diagnostic key. It is also important that the aquarist or pond keeper consult appropriate, accurate references for more specific information regarding disease problems of fishes. In addition, if possible, skin and/or gill smears should be made and examined by a qualified fish diagnostician. Microscopic examination is recommended and is always essential for confirmation of a particular disease. In the clinical signs indicated below, a particular description may be followed by a specific disease causing organism in brackets. It should be qualified that different clinical signs can be seen during the disease process and that these can occur as the result of more than one disease causing organism. CLINICAL SIGNS Increased respiration; loss of normal body color; presence of discrete white spots (freshwater or marine Ich); white areas on the body with circumscribed red perimeter [Epistylis]; scratching on tank bottom or on objects; lethargic behavior; white tufts or strands on body [Fungus]; dust like "peppered" spots on body surface, having a yellowish cast [Oodinium]. Package Description: 4 fl. oz. Serving Size: .. Number of Servings: .. SPECIFICATIONS: Contains zinc free, chloride salt of malachite green. Provided as a 0.038% solution. DIRECTIONS FOR USE Use 1 teaspoon (approximately 5 ml) per 10 gallons of water for most s. This produces a concentration of 0.05 ppm (see Toxicity and Suggested Procedures for qualifying information). At this concentration, 4 ounces of Malachite Green will treat 240 gallons of water. SUGGESTED PROCEDURES The following procedures are suggested for both freshwater and marine systems, unless otherwise noted. Remove any activated carbon filter material from the system as it will lower the concentration. The drug will bind with certain materials such as silicone sealants, porous rocks, gravel and coral; hence, exposure to these can effectively reduce the therapeutic dosage as well as cause uly stains. If used in new aquariums, the dye can permanently color the silicone sealant. It is also recommended that excessively porous materials be removed prior to , since they will become permanently colored. In established aquaria and outdoor ponds, the buildup of excessive debris and s can reduce the therapeutic dosage of Malachite Green. Making the recommended water changes outlined in the schedules will reduce the possible removal of the drug from solution by s. Prevention or of fungus on fish eggs: Method 1 (Short Term Bath): (a) Change the carbon in the outside filter or add an outside filter with fresh carbon to the hatchery tank. Use a high quality liquid phase activated carbon. (b) Start the filter. (c) Add 10 teaspoons of 0.038% Kordon Malachite Green per gallon of water. This produces 5 ppm activity of the drug. (d) Allow filter to run and allow it to remove the Malachite Green from the water for one hour. Note: If any co.
