Fish diseases (ulcers, hemorrhage, water mold, white spot) are typically caused by Aeromonas/Streptococcus bacteria, Saprolegnia fungus, or Ichthyophthirius parasites. Treat: disinfect with POWER GLUTA, treat fungus/parasites with WORK COP Plus, seed SOILMAX New after 24h, protect liver with HERB GUARD. Fish diseases spread fast — treat within first 3 days.

Quick Summary

Main Causes

  • Aeromonas, Streptococcus bacteria
  • Water mold (Saprolegnia)
  • Protozoan parasites

Signs

  • cause ulcers, hemorrhage, gill rot
  • attaches to wounds, spreads fast in cold water
  • Ichthyophthirius (white spot), Trichodina

Solutions

  • Disinfect with POWER GLUTA (fish) or WORK 80
  • Treat fungus, parasites with WORK COP Plus
  • After 24h

3
Reseed microbes

After 24h — apply SOILMAX New (fish) to stabilize environment

4
Liver protection

Protect liver with HERB GUARD (fish) + MAX LIVER (fish)

5
Boost resistance

Boost resistance with AQUAMOS (fish) + BETAGLUCAN GRO (fish)

Results

Expected Results

1-2 days

Clear improvement, shrimp resume eating

7-14 days

Full recovery, maintain with regular probiotics

Frequently Asked Questions

What causes ulcers in pangasius?

Mainly caused by Aeromonas hydrophila and Edwardsiella ictaluri bacteria. Usually outbreaks in high density, polluted water, or post-transport. Disinfect with POWER GLUTA + treat with FLOR-MAX antibiotic.

How to treat water mold (Saprolegnia)?

Use WORK COP Plus specialized for water mold and ectoparasites. Dose 1kg/3,000-5,000m³. Combine with raising water temperature (if possible) as fungus thrives in cold water below 20°C.

Is white spot disease in fish the same as in shrimp?

Different. White spot in fish (Ich) is caused by parasite Ichthyophthirius multifiliis, treatable with WORK COP Plus. White spot in shrimp (WSSV) is viral, no specific treatment, only prevention.

Fish stop eating en masse after water change, how to treat?

Fish stressed from sudden environmental change. Add AQUAMOS (fish) for resistance + HERB GUARD (fish) for liver protection. Reduce feed 50%, avoid further large water changes for 3-5 days.

How long before harvest should antibiotics be stopped for fish?

FLOR-MAX: stop 12 days before harvest. OXYTETRA/TETRA-C: stop 4 weeks. Incorrect withdrawal period violates food safety regulations and affects export.
