Ideal for hospital and quarantine tanks, ParaGuard is a professional-grade treatment trusted by aquarium experts to maintain healthy, vibrant fish communities. ## Description ParaGuard is the only fish and filter safe aldehyde based (10% by weight) parasite control product available. Unlike highly toxic and difficult to use formalin based medications, ParaGuard contains no formaldehyde or methanol and will not alter pH. ParaGuard employs a proprietary, synergistic blend of aldehydes, malachite green, and fish protective polymers that effectively and efficiently eradicates many ectoparasites on fish (e.g. ich, etc.) and external fungal/bacterial/viral lesions (e.g., fin rot). It is particularly useful in hospital and receiving tanks for new fish and whenever new fish are introduced to a community tank. For use in freshwater or marine. ParaGuard is recommended for the treatment of certain diseases in marine and freshwater fish only. It IS NOT recommended for treating any style aquarium containing invertebrates, corals, crustaceans, or elasmobranchs (sharks and rays). Review: Go to fish disease cure - Works very well. A must for all quarintine tanks. 7 to 10 days of treatment and your fish are healthy and happy. Use in combination with Kanaplex and Metroplex but make sure you have somthing putting bubbles in your tank. The medication depletes the oxygen levels in the water. Kills ick, fungal infections (fin rot), and other bacterial infections fish can get. I like to feed the kanaplex and metroplex with focus and the garlic guard and use the paraguard for external treatment. The packaging is good. easy to measure doses with the cap, with 1 capful per 10 gallons. Always medicate a smaller aquarium or it'll get expensive to cure your fish. I use a 20 gallon to quarintine my fish in. I service aquariums for a living. This is a go to for fish doctoring. This medication does have a unique smell. Its not a bad smell, it doesnt bother or turn anyone off to using it. Like all fish medications the price is questionable. Usually higher than wanted. But so is everything else.

Dips may be extended if fish show no evidence of stress. It says nothing about a water change. **Q: Does this kill leeches and leech eggs? Will be used in quarantine buckets for plants and decorations, not the tank.** A: Malachite green whish is active ingredient kills them so in theory yes it should work. I've used it for hdras and flukes which both tend to be more hardy than leaches. **Q: Will this cause ammonia spike? Or, kill any beneficial bacteria?** A: I personally didn't have any problems. I used a half dosage twice a day and it worked well. I would use caution though with sensitive fish. **Q: I have 37 gallon tank and how many times do i use to cure the ich?** A: I used a capful for my 37 gallon tank and followed the instructions on the bottle for the amount of daily treatments. Hope this helps. It cleared my tank of ich and will take care of any parasites. If you have shrimp. etc it might be too strong for them...I only had fish. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Go to fish disease cure *by W***M on March 17, 2026* Works very well.
