The adults live on the fish and show up as tiny white spots on the body. Their life cycle is complex, and it results in hundreds of free-swimming juveniles that go looking for a host fish to infest. Fungal infections look different: they appear as cotton-wool-like growths. This treatment is designed to deal with both problems, along with other larger parasites, in a single 7-day course.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow to Use\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWork out the dose your aquarium needs, either from the bottle label or with the manufacturer's Dosage Calculator.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDay 1: add the first dose to the aquarium, following the instructions on the bottle label.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLeave the aquarium undisturbed until day 3, then add a second dose.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRepeat the dose on day 5 and again on day 7.
