Description

The JBL Fungol Plus 250 is a remedy for fungal infections such as whitish cotton-like deposits on the body and fins of freshwater fish.

JBL Fungol Plus is a combination preparation to combat these external mycoses (fungal infections) caused by fungi from the Saprolegniaceae family. In order to fight the disease permanently, not only the right medicine is necessary, but also an improvement in the water values. The most important measure is regular water change. The use of a UV-C clarifier also helps to reduce the bacterial density in the aquarium and improve the living conditions of the fish. The most important water values that must be checked and optimised, if applicable, are carbonate hardness (KH), pH (pH value), ammonium (NH4) / ammonia (NH3) and nitrite (NO2). In addition, regular and thorough cleaning of the filter is recommended.

Combination treatment
The first component should be JBL Fungol Plus (K1) against the fungus and then a subsequent treatment of the bacterial infection with JBL Fungol Plus (K2).

Spawn mould
The addition of JBL Fungol Plus (K2) can prevent spawning. Of course, this is futile if the eggs have not been fertilised. It often happens that (e.g. scalars and discus) spawn with each other. Furthermore, the water values should be checked in the case of mushroomed clutches, to what extent the fish eggs can develop at all given the hardness, the electrical conductivity and the pH value. Water hygiene is also important.

Application
Before and during use, activated charcoal must be removed from the filter, UV-C water clarifier, CO2 fertilisation, and additional skimmers and ozonizers in saltwater must be switched off. A 50% water change must be carried out before use. During treatment, the aquarium is to be aerated with a vent stone using a diaphragm pump. JBL Fungol Plus should always be added in the morning while observing the animals.

Dose
A detailed treatment plan is included with the product. If necessary, the drug can be replenished. A 30-50% water change should be carried out immediately before each subsequent dosing. The first step is to start with a half dose, which is carefully increased. For fish from the East African Grabensee (Lake Malawi, Lake Tanganyika, Lake Victoria), component 2 of JBL Fungol Plus should only be half dosed.

The fish should not be fed for 3 days after the start of treatment. Reduced feeding can be started on the 4th day. Biologically active filters that have been in place for some time can partially inactivate the drug. Since JBL Fungol Plus massively damages the filter bacteria, a very thorough filter cleaning is recommended after the treatment, but even better a replacement of the complete filter media and the use of bacterial preparations is recommended. After treatment, the aquarium water should be filtered over activated charcoal for 24 hours to remove drug residues. The ammonium / ammonia and nitrite values should be measured daily during and after treatment. The active ingredient causes water colouring, which disappears after a short time.

Warning
Invertebrates may experience intolerance. They should, therefore, be excluded from treatment for safety reasons. Scale-less fish such as catfish and loaches, as well as very weakened animals, can be sensitive to the drug. The dose should be started in half and then increased carefully.

Our expert Oliver Knott recommends:
When the first signs of fungal infections appear, immediate action is necessary to avoid further stressing the fish! JBL Fungo Plus helps to remove unwanted parasites and contributes significantly to the recovery of sensitive animals!
