NT Labs Marine Anti Bacterial

NT Labs Marine Anti Bacterial is a marine fish medication for saltwater and reef aquarium keepers who need to treat bacterial infections. It contains powerful ingredients that kill bacteria, and it can be paired with Marine Paratonical when protozoan parasites are also a concern in a tank with invertebrates.

Signs to Look For

• Bacterial infections can show as reddened wounds, ulcers, missing scales, and eroded fins and/or mouth.
• White, sugar grain-sized spots covering the body point to marine white spot (Cryptocaryon).
• Finer white spots are likely marine velvet (Oodinium).
• External parasites may also cause scratching behaviour.

Key Benefits
