ParaGuard 250ml

Seachem ParaGuard is a fantastic product! I’ve been using it for my African cichlids, and it has worked wonders in keeping them healthy and free from parasites. It effectively eradicates ectoparasites, fungal, bacterial, and even viral issues without harming the fish or stressing them out. I appreciate that it’s a safer alternative to formalin while still being highly effective. Plus, it’s versatile and works well in both freshwater and marine setups. I’ve seen a noticeable improvement in my cichlids' health and behavior since using it. This is now a staple in my aquarium care routine. Highly recommended!

ParaGuard is an awesome aid for any fish enthusiast. I like how it can be used in the entire tank (no hospital/quarantine tanks), that it dissipates after a couple of days (requires daily additions until problems resolve), because it wont interfere with your filter media in canister or other filters, AND because it's not a strong antibiotic thatd potentially harm other fish that arent sick. SeaChems medications such as Kanaplex or Metroplex are very good medications to use AFTER 50% water changes higher temperature or Epsom Salts, or ParaGuard seem to not be as effective 1st few days. Can be added into food for easier absorption as well or in water column to reach gills. If fish seem very sick, then these medications are the ones to use in a hospital/quarantine tank if wanting to avoid treating entire tank. All of SeaChem products are legit (I wish they paid me lol) as I've used them for well over 10yrs. Started off with Prime, the ONLY water conditioner aquarisuts should honestly use, GarlicGuard food supplement is extremely effective and keeps fish immunity elevated throughout life, ParaGuard for the reasons mentioned above, etc. If I had 1 brand to use for my fish, u bet its SeaChem. The good customer service is also an added bonus :) Lastly folks, feed your fish SOAKED FISH FOOD in water or Garlic Guard (soften pellets, absolutely NO HARD FOOD!) along with some peas ONCE A WEEK to avoid any SWIMBLADDER ISSUES as this event is bad for a fish that cant orient itself. Pea fiber will flush out their bladders and preventing this EASILY PREVENTABLE illness. This along with weekly 50% water changes should prevent roughly 75% of potential problems. Other 25% remains in how many fish are stocked, if all fish are compatible, etc as there are many variable to consider in aquariums inclusive of water source... that's where my Prime comes in hehe :)

Works great

I used this product to treat Ick in my tank. I had the following delicate freshwater fish. Emperor tetras, black emperor tetras, blue neons, sterbai corys, bronze corys, albino corys, galaxay rasbora, and some other fish. I LOST a lot of fish by using this medication. Now I will be honest and tell you that I did not do enough water changes based on the directions. I did dose less than what the bottle recommended. I killed probably about $50-$60 of fish. Some are very difficult to get again. If this medication killed so many of my fish I hate to see what the "harsh stuff" could do. I would still buy this product, but I would go about treatment differently. My recommendation is to do this if you have ick and have sensitive fish (Tetras, elephant nose fish, $$$$$ fish etc) REMOVE THEM!!!! Take them out. If they are not infected don't treat them. If they sick are....still take them out, put them in a completely separate container, and treat 1/3 dose, warm the water ~78F-80F, and do 25% water changes every 2-3 days. Make sure you clean water is the same temp as the hospital tank. Make sure you fish can withstand 78-80 F. This temp will speed up the cycle of the ick parasite. If ick was in your main tank, sorry you gotta treat the tank. The parasite actually drops off the fish and goes into the gravel. Paraguard only works in the life cycle when the ick parasite goes from gravel back to fish. IF you have hardy fish in your tank, go ahead and treat the tank as normal. REMEMBER, gravel, ornaments, plants....all take up space. So you may have a 20 gal tank, but only 15 gal of it is water. Treat the water volume, not the listed tank volume. Unsure, well dose less but does longer and I would still do water changes. This medication worked but like all medications be careful and be smart about dosage. A great idea for a hospital tank is the Tidy Cat plastic liter pals. I hang a filter on the side of the liter container. Works great.

I love all things Seachem! I haven't had to use ParaGuard yet, just have it in case of an emergency. Update on ParaGuard: First time having to use it for ich and it's working as expected. Be patient, especially if you have loaches. But within a week my tetras cleared up nicely and the loaches are sticking it out a little longer, as expected. Be prepared, ich will often look worse before it gets better. Side note to those blaming the product for killing their fish: As someone stated, check your dose. Too much or too little may have adverse effects if you're treating incorrectly. Corydoras - I noticed a claim the ParaGuard killed ALL of their corydoras. I have a species tank of cory cats and have used this before to prevent secondary infection and was sucessful. Primary infection was undetected, therefore I could not hold ParaGuard responsible for fatalities. Cory diseases can easily go unnoticed until you start losing a few and by then it's too late. I lost 3 within two days for undetectable reasons and treated the rest (12) immediately with no other losses. Bottom line, don't hate the player, hate the game! ParaGuard is a great product and you will be doing your fish a disservice trying to add meds that are too strong or even none at all. Spend the extra few bucks and keep it on hand. And more importantly, take a minute and READ about the possibilities of what you may be dealing with before just jumping right in. Don't just take the advice from the first blog you read. If you take the time to buy the fish, take the time to understand their needs.

I have used this product for hole in the head for discus...and used it lesser than recommended doses and guess my discus was cured without keeping it in a hospital tank.... amazing product

This is a very nice medicament. I like that you must put some of it every day and doesn't modify the appearance of the water. It is the only one that had really solved a problem until now. It solved the ICH (white spots) in just few days.
