Microbe-Lift Herbtana for Parasitic Diseases Fresh and Saltwater

Microbe-Lift Herbtana for Parasitic Diseases Fresh and Saltwater is a 100% natural, herbal expellant for treating parasitic diseases in aquarium fish while supporting the fish's own immune system. It suits hobbyists who want a chemical-free fish parasite treatment for freshwater and saltwater tanks, including a white spot (Ich) treatment that can be used in either.

Key Benefits

• A chemical-free, 100% natural herbal formula that works as an immune-enhancing stimulant rather than a harsh chemical treatment.
• Reduces skin flukes, gill flukes, Ich, Oodinium, Costia, Chilodonella and Trichodina.
• Works in both freshwater and saltwater aquariums, so one product covers mixed collections.
• Supports the fish's immune system so it can drive off excess parasites.
• Stated by the manufacturer to be safe for all aquatic life.
• A useful aid when acclimating fish to a new environment.

How It Works

Parasites are generally present on most fish at very low levels all the time, and a healthy immune system keeps them naturally in check. When stress levels rise, the immune system struggles to respond, and the parasites can multiply and cause serious health problems for the host fish. Herbtana supports the fish's immune system, which drives off the excess parasites. Because they cannot return to the fish during treatment, the majority of them will starve without a host.

Suitable For

• Use with ornamental and aquarium fish only. It must not be used for fish intended for human consumption.
