When used as directed, Aquarium Solutions Ich-X SW will control or prevent diseases of fishes caused by the following disease organisms: Cryptocaryon (saltwater \"Ich\"), Amyloodinium, the common external fungal infections, certain external bacterial infections and diseases caused by monogenea and digenea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGeneral Diagnosis and Treatment of \"Saltwater Ich\" (Cryptocaryoniasis)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDisease in Marine Aquarium Fishes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe following is a brief summary of the clinical signs often associated with \"saltwater Ich.\" It is intended only as an aid for the beginning aquarist, and is not to be considered a definitive diagnostic key. It is important that the aquarist consult appropriate references for more specific information regarding aquarium fish diseases. Where possible, skin scrapes and\/or gill smears should be made and examined by a qualified aquarium fish disease diagnostician (\u003cstrong\u003eNOTE:\u003c\/strong\u003e Few veterinarians are qualified in diagnosing aquarium fish diseases).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThe signs of \"saltwater Ich\" in fishes is usually evident by the appearance and persistence of numerous, small (but visible) white spots on the fishes' skin, scales, eyes and fins. The disease is often called \"white spot disease.\" These spots are known as cysts. It must be understood that the cysts are usually found on the gills of the diseased fishes where they are not visible without inspecting the gills. The only outward sign of the involvement of the fishes' gills is labored respiration that is often accompanied by a drastic darkening or lightening of the fishes overall coloration. Fishes with \"saltwater Ich,\" where the white spots are not yet visible on the body, will usually exhibit lethargy and repeated \"flashing\" or scratching and scraping against sides or bottom or against objects in the aquarium.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eClinical Signs and Treatment of Other Diseases of Aquarium Fishes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe following signs are general and may appear with some or all of the signs indicated above.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDiseases Caused by Fungi (Saprolegniasis):\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSaprolegniasis is often the easiest fish disease to properly diagnose. In most cases likely to be observed in aquarium fishes areas of necrotic (dead) tissue will be covered with whitish, hairy, or \"cottony\" patches. This fungal disease is almost always a secondary infection caused by stress or injury. Treating the aquarium, as directed, with Aquarium Solutions Ich-X in addition to directly swabbing the visible lesions on the fishes will often affect a cure in 24 hours or less. Swabbing must be done with a clean, cotton swab, and the swab must never be dipped more than once into the container of Aquarium Solutions Ich-X. Be sure to have plenty of clean, dry swabs ready to use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAmlyoodiniasis (Velvet, Gold Dust Disease, Rust Disease):\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis disease is common to saltwater tropical fishes.
