Precautionary measures: Trichosal should not be used in combination with other medications. If your fish have been treated with another medication beforehand then a major water change must be undertaken before treatment.
Pay attention to the water quality in your aquarium and reduce the organic pollution of the aquarium water from biological and chemical by changing the water regularly. Very dirty filters should be cleaned before treatment, always keep the aquarium filter running during treatment! During treatment, UV lamps must always be turned off and oxidators removed (hydrogen peroxide).
Whilst treating the aquarium with Trichosal no active filter agents (activated carbon, phosphate remover, etc.) may be used in the filter in order to prevent reactions with bonded contaminants. Ionexchangers (e.g. for removing nitrates, etc.) must be removed from the water circulation system of the aquarium during treatment with Trichosal.
As with all treatments, the fish must be monitored regularly and carefully during the treatment. As a precaution, ornamental snails and shrimps should be removed from the aquarium before treatment with Trichosal.
