Before use
• Read the full user guide carefully and apply all the recommended instructions.
• A recommended hospital tank will only contain an air stone for aeration and a heater if needed.
• Daily water change should be adopted as means of controlling water quality during treatment. Adding water conditioner that binds and neutralize chlorine AND ammonia is highly recommended.
• It is recommended to stop feeding, during the treatment if you still want to feed or must feed, do it lightly and keep more attention to siphoning away any food or fish waste daily, also in this case you MUST be using water conditioner that binds and neutralize chlorine AND ammonia.
• Always start by cleaning the aquarium, whipping the glass and having clean treated water at the correct conditions for the fish.
• In case you still treat in a display tank follow these steps to increase the success rate and reduce risk. Wipe the glass surface, siphon the substrate, and any waste accumulated under or around décor, filter media…etc.
• Take care when cleaning the filter media not to do it with chlorinated water or any cleaning agent, or over cleaning it in a way that will remove most or all the beneficial bacteria(biofilm). Some products will directly kill the filter bacteria, such products will have a warning on the back of the package.
Method of use
Please use this table to identify the correct dose based on your water conditions
Caution: This step is very important; you need to know the pH and GH of your water to determine the safe dose level. Using a high dose than what is allowed based on your pH/GH level may cause serious damage or death to the fish. If in doubt or on the boarder go for the lower concentration.
Discus and koi short bath First step prepare dilute PROTECT X stock solution by dissolving 2 level spoons (included) or 2g -using weight measurement is much more accurate- of PROTECT X powder in one liter of water mix well until completely dissolved. Place the fish in a tub with clean water (with no chlorine or chloramine and without any chlorine removal chemicals) add an air stone for aeration. Add the amount indicated in the table above for every 10 liters.
Keep the fish in the bath for a maximum of 5 hours, keep an eye on the fish during this period. If you notice signs the fish can’t tolerate the bath anymore, remove it to its aquarium. This bath can be repeated daily up to 5 days.
Example If your water has pH 7.0 and GH = 6 dH, then the corresponding dose is 50ml from the stock solution to every 10 Liter. If your bath is 30L you will add 50ml for every 10L = 50x3 = 150ml.
Discus long bath Add 1 level spoon (included) or 1g PROTECT X powder to every 330L of aquarium water. This will produce a concentration of 3mg/L. Use this bath for 24hrs followed by at least 90% water change and can be repeated up to 4 consecutive days.
Other ornamental fish PROTECT X has not been tested extensively on other ornamental fish so it is advised to practice caution, try lower concentration first and keep an eye on the fish. At first signs of distress end the treatment. Here again water hardness as well as pH are two important parameters to consider to adapt the concentration to your own conditions. Always make a small test first.
OTHER APPLICATIONS Tank disinfection During the production stops, it is of major importance to thoroughly clean and disinfect the tanks and ponds when they are empty to avoid contamination of the next production lot. Start by cleaning to remove the organic matter and then disinfect by spraying or rinsing with a 1% PROTECT X solution (or with a 2% in case of heavy contamination). How to prepare 1-2% solution, dissolve 1 spoon (1g) for every 100ml water (for 2% use 2 spoons). Equipment disinfection Spray all equipment used in the fish farm with a 1% PROTECT X solution or dipped the equipment into the PROTECT X solution for 30 min. Net disinfection a 1-2% PROTECT X solution is used for net disinfection, with a contact time of 30 min.
pH Soft Water (GH <6°dH) ml/10L Hard Water (GH >6°dH) ml/10L 6.0 12.5 35 6.5 25 50 7.0 50 75 7.5 90 90 8.0 100 100
Stagnant fresh water ponds/storage tanks PROTECT X is added at a concentration of 3 ppm (3 g/1000L) once a week. Water pH and hardness are two important parameters to consider to optimize the PROTECT X concentration. As a rule, with acidic pH, a lower concentration should be used and with increasing water hardness, a higher PROTECT X concentration is recommended. Also, if using a biofilter in a recirculated water system, special attention must be taken. Fish egg disinfection To reduce surface contamination, fish eggs can be dipped in a 1 g/l PROTECT X solution for 1-5 min followed by a clean water wash. The time can change based on water condition and size of the eggs, it is better to do this dip in neutral to high pH and normal to hard water, rather than soft acidic water. Always start by the minimum time ad move upwards to get the maximum safe time.
Discus X disease prevention philosophy
• This procedure is applied successfully in Discus X Farm facility to prophylactically clean breeding stock before adding to the central filtered breeding system.
• Following this method will ensure a more enjoyable hobby in your main display aquarium, free of reoccurring fish health issues like not growing properly, dull coloration, loss of appetite or even death.
• This happens because we allowed many types of external and/or internal parasites to enter and live in our main tank, and will be ready to cause disease in at any time the fish are stressed due to water conditions, bullying, heavy parasite load, infection pressure … etc.
• Thus, Discus X recommends aquarium professionals as well as keen to always apply our QT kit Procedure using our QT kit PRO on any new fish in hospital tank prior introduction to display aquarium, fish room ...etc. to achieve the above results.

These fish are native to the freshwater Atrato and San Juan River basins of Colombia in South America. They frequent areas that are slow-moving, such as small tributaries and streams, where the temperature ranges from 73 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit. Though the emperor tetra is distributed over a narrow range in the wild, it has become a favorite aquarium pet and is farmed for sale around the world. As of 2014, the IUCN Red List (International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources) has insufficient data to determine the status of this species in its natural habitat in the wild; more research is needed. In captivity, the species breeds readily. The attractive coloration and elegant fins of the regal emperor tetra leave little doubt why the emperor tetra was given its name. Introduced to home aquaria in 1960, it has become one of the more popular of the tetra family of fishes. Fins of both sexes have a yellow hue and are edged in black on the outer periphery; they are red where the fin meets the body. The body of the fish is blue-gray with mauve tones, and it displays an almost iridescent sheen. A dark stripe runs horizontally from head to tail, and the body is lighter in color below the stripe.

Proven treatment
A treatment protocol has been developed and was tested on Discus fish in a trial that included 1500 discus fish from 11 farms across three countries. Samples were taken prior the treatment and lab tested to confirm multiple parasite infestation in addition to bacteriology test. The treatment protocol included with this kit has been proven to free Discus fish from Dactylogyrus (flukes), Cestoda (tapeworm), Capillaria (nematode worm), Costia, Trichodina, Oodinium and Columnaris. It also significantly reduces the population of intestinal flagellates, which increase under stress, in turn reduce
the fish appetite or refuse food darken body, cause lethargy and white feces.

Treatment procedure:

Caution! To achieve the results we promise the instructions should be followed exactly without any modifications. Any change in the program could result in incomplete eradication of parasites or incomplete treatment of diseases. Before you start: a. It is always recommended to treat new fish in hospital tanks. Ideally a hospital tank will have only an air stone to supply air and a heater to control temperature (30-32 C during QT is highly recommended).

A sponge filter or any other type of filter is not required because large water changes will need to be performed.

B. If your aquariums are not new and previously had fish it is recommended to sterilize them. The most economical method is to use household bleach* at 50ml/100L of aquarium water for 24 hours. After that empty out the water and rinse the aquarium well and remove the rinsing water. Fill back the aquarium and add an aquarium water conditioner at a normal dose. Make sure there is no smell of residual chlorine. Complete this procedure at least 24-48 hours before the day of adding the new fish.

WARNING: After sterilization with bleach, you should remove all the water and rinse the aquarium well before refilling it back again. Not removing all traces of chlorine before adding new fish will cause death or severe damage to your fish. If the aquarium has any filter media or substrate that may trap the chlorine and release it back again in the new water!

 Day 1:

A. On the first day of receiving your new fish, the first step will be to perform a 4hrs Chloramine-T bath in external container before adding them to the aquarium.

B.  Prepare containers with 20-30 Liters of water (you can use the Styrofoam box the fish were shipped in or a plastic tub) with air stones in them -we will call this water bath-. Let the fish bags equalize to the room temperature so that the temperature in the prepared water baths is equal to the bags. Open the fish bags that the fish were shipped in and immediately take out the fish (without the shipping water) tothe receiving water bath.

C. Prepare a stock solution of Chloramine-T and add the correct dose to the water bath depending on your pH and water hardness. Please follow instructions in the Chloramine-T data sheet.

D. Monitor, the fish carefully through the 4 hours, normally the fish should be relaxed. If any sign of excessive stress or the fish looks restless, transfer it to the aquarium. After 4 hours have passed, transfer the fish to their aquariums.

E. After transferring all the fish to the aquarium add Bactocide 1(for dosage refer to Bactocideinstructions)Hint: it is beneficial to add salt at 1g/L to enhance osmotic balance and elevate stress in the fish during first 7 days.

Day 2:

After 24 hours have passed, since adding Bactocide, Make a 70-100% water change and repeat the dose. Hint: You can make the water change every 48 hours instead of 24hrs by adding a suitable water treatment product that will protect the fish from ammonia.

A dose that will neutralize up to 1 mg/L ammonia is recommended.

Day 8: Perform a 100% water change.

Day 9: Stop feeding and Add FLUKE X and WORMER X according to instruction on each productFLUKE X and WORMER X do not need water change to work, however, the water needs to be changed to keep it clean in absence of Bio-filtration. To remain safe use a product like ChloramX or Safe to neutralize ammonia. Hint: Like with Bactocide if you are using a product to neutralize ammonia you can extend the water change to 48h instead of every 24h.

Note: even if you had bio-filter active its effect will be reduced or eliminated after using Bactocide.

Day 11: Perform a 100% water change and re-dose only Fluke X and stop adding WormerX ( Please pay attention to your ammonia levels and conduct large water changes if needed).  

Day 16: Stop adding FLUKE X and end treatment with a water change.

NOTE: By now you have completed the first round of deworming for both nematodes and tapeworms, However, these parasites produce eggs that are not affected by the medicine (And in some cases flukes that were shielded in the first round) and will re-infest the fish when they hatch in another week. Therefore, it is very important to repeat the treatment again on Day 24.

Day 24: Add FLUKE X and WORMER X according to instruction on each product.

Day 26: Perform a 100% water change and re-dose only Fluke X and stop adding Wormer X

Day 31: Stop adding FLUKE X and end treatment with a water change.

Congratulations!

By now, your fish are free from flukes and nematodes. You can enjoy keeping healthy fish that grow and breed happily, fish that will not fall easily to disease because they are not made weak byparasites.

The red cap oranda goldfish is a fresh water fish of the Cyprinidae family. These fish are a product of selective breeding and are closely related to the common goldfish

Elevate your discus game with our Red Checkerboard! Made with a bright red design, this discus will not only stand out but also help you improve your throws. Perfect for both beginners and experienced throwers. Take your performance to the next level with our top-notch discus.
The Checkerboard Discus is a relatively new color of the wild South American Discus, being a brilliant green coloration with red patterning. The overall coloration of Discus will vary depending on mood and overall health of the fish. Discus are among the most popular aquarium fish.

Discus originate from a habitat of shaded water with branches and other dense cover and this habitat should be duplicated in the aquarium. High quality water conditions (warm, soft, acidic) must be maintained.

Becoming slightly territorial when breeding, it is best to breed an established pair, or maintain a group of young Discus and allow them to pair themselves. Warm, soft, slightly acidic water is required for spawning. The pair will clean a flat surface (usually a broad leaf or the side of the aquarium) prior to spawning. The parents must not be removed from the fry; the fry feed on their parents' mucus.

Largely carnivorous, Symphysodon spp. prefers freeze-dried bloodworms and tubifex, pellet food designed for discus, high-quality flake food, and meaty frozen foods.

RED COVER/Rose red discus fall into the same family as the Fiamma Rossa, Virgin Red, Marlboro Red and San Merah discus. These fish have Alenquer genetics, and the shade of their red is more brown or darker red in color than their other red discus counterparts. 

 Red cover blue rim fall into the same family as the Fiamma Rossa, Virgin Red, Marlboro Red, and San Merah discus. This fish is a very rare and special fish, only couple out of a batch of this strain have the blue rim. The breeder said every 100 fishes, he only able to get 1 blue rim, and the shade of their red is more brown in color than their other red discus counterparts.

The Red Dragon BDS is one of many unique color variety of Poecilia reticulata guppy developed through years of careful, selective breeding. This brilliantly colored fish showcases a stunning jewel-like dragon in red coloration, making it a coveted addition for guppy aficionados or any freshwater aquarium enthusiast specially with big dorsal .

The Red Dragon BDS requires an aquarium of at least 20 gallons in size. It is a very peaceful fish and should be housed with tank mates of similar temperament. Though the Red Dragon is a hardy fish tolerant of small changes in water parameters, care should be taken to keep water temperature, pH, and nutrient levels in check. This hardy and energetic fish makes an excellent fish for beginning hobbyists.

Guppies are relatively easy to breed even for the beginning aquarists. If you are interested in breeding guppies, the ideal aquarium should have a covering of floating plants and a breeding box to protect the fry. Adults may eat the fry if left to fend for themselves without the breeding box. The fry should be fed brine shrimp, micro food and pulverized flakes.

The Red Dragon BDS is an omnivore and requires both algae-based foods as well as meaty foods. An algae-based flake food, along with freeze-dried bloodworms, tubifex, and brine shrimp will provide guppies with the proper nutrition.
