Manaus-Aquarium Bilocil

Manaus-Aquarium BILOCIL® is a solution for adding to aquarium water.

Applications: BILOCIL® is effective against fluke infections caused by monogenean parasites (dactylogyrus, gyrodactylus) on the skin and gills of fish. BILOCIL® is also effective against trematodes and tapeworms in the intestines of fish. BILOCIL® is a new supplement and was developed for discus fish. With one treatment cycle of BILOCIL® it is now possible to rid the fish permanently of the parasites. Infections with monogenea are often responsible for mass death in young discus fish.

Disease symptoms: Indications of disease caused by parasites such as skin and gill flukes are scraping movements on objects and on the bottom of the aquarium. Gill flukes can cause one-sided breathing (only one gill cover moves) amongst other things and pushing the mouth forward in a movement similar to human yawning. In general, diseased fish stop feeding, clamp their fins together and are easily startled. It is important to treat the fish as quickly as possible when the abovementioned symptoms are spotted so that any further weakening of the animals by the parasites is prevented. If possible, a microscopic examination should be performed to confirm the diagnosis.
