Ideal for cichlid keepers and anyone facing these stubborn, hard-to-shift conditions.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eHole-in-the-Head disease and Bloat are two of the most worrying conditions a fishkeeper can face — and both are notoriously difficult to treat. Octozin is NT Labs' answer: a targeted three-day course designed to tackle the bacteria and parasites behind these illnesses, across a wide range of species. It's a particularly welcome addition for African cichlid keepers, who know all too well how quickly Bloat can take hold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhen to reach for it\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUse Octozin if your fish are showing the classic signs of Hole-in-the-Head — holes, pits or lesions around the head, face or along the lateral line. It's equally suited to Bloat, where you'll notice abdominal swelling, protruding scales, white or clear trailing faeces and a loss of appetite. Catching either early gives your fish the best chance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow to use it\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBefore treating, clean the aquarium, carry out a water change and test your parameters to make sure they're in range. Increase aeration, then gently tip the bottle ten times (don't shake it), mix the required amount into a litre of aquarium water and add it slowly. The full dose is split evenly across three consecutive days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGood to know\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA little surface foam during treatment is normal and soon fades. Keep filtration running but switch off UV sterilisers and ozonisers, and remove carbon and zeolite until four days after the final dose. Don't combine it with other medications, and avoid using it if your water sits below pH 7, KH 4 or GH 4.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eComposition: Dimetridazole 2027.3mg\/100ml.
