API LIQUID SUPER ICK CURE Freshwater and Saltwater Fish Medication is a quick and effective solution to rid your fish of ich. This product works rapidly to heal freshwater fish of icthyophthirius ("Ich") or Cryptocaryon, highly contagious parasitic diseases. Ich, also known as white spot disease, is a highly destructive and contagious microscopic parasite that burrows into the gill and skin tissue, causing severe damage and secondary infections.

The early symptoms of ich include white spots, darting, and scratching against surfaces, while more advanced stages can lead to labored breathing. This freshwater fish treatment not only helps cure Ich, but it also provides a synthetic slime coat that helps protect against secondary infection, where the natural slime coating of the fish has been disturbed by the parasite.

It is recommended to use this product at the first sign of "Ich" or white spots. Some scaleless fish may be sensitive to this medication, so it is advised to treat them with half the normal dose. Additionally, some saltwater invertebrates, such as corals, may be sensitive to this product, so it is not recommended for reef aquariums.

This medication will cause a slight discoloration of the water, which can be easily removed by adding activated carbon to the filter. Dose according to the directions on the product packaging and label. This treatment can be used in both freshwater and saltwater aquariums.
