Worked wonders!

About a month ago I had an angel fish introduced into my tank with Brooklynella. That fish shortly passed but then both my clownfish contracted the parasite. I’ve used this treatment for about 2 1/2 weeks to help my clownfish and not kill starfish, snails, etc. My female clownfish was on the brink of death and now she’s completely back to healthy and happy! I’m so happy with this product. It’s a great alternative for copper infused medications if you need a reef safe option.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Saved my betta with velvet!

My betta fish got the parasite velvet, and I thought he was a goner. I started giving him this treatment as soon as I realized there was an issue (he had the gold dust appearance from the parasite). Soon he got a lot worse and developed bad fin rot. This medicine helped him pull through though!!! Couldn't be happier. It worked as a great alternative to the copper treatment which is harsh and can't be used with plants or invertebrates (I have a planted tank).
Yes, I recommend this product.

I wouldn't recommend for Corydoras!

I purchased this ich treatment after my tank was infected by introducing your fish. I treated my 5 gallon tank with the recommended dosage and it paralyzed my corydoras! I did a prompt 50% water change and fortunately they came out of their stunned state. This was medication that your store associate picked out for me. I know corydoras are sensitive to treatments to begin with, but I'm unhappy with my Petco experience. As for the effectivity of the medication, I'm unsure at this point.
No, I do not recommend this product.

Do I bought this 2 days ago wish I would of taken pictures of my fine line tang he was covered from head to tailfin by white spots. I thought immediately it could be velvet well I'm not a lucky one to have a current qt tank setup so I came across this. Hesitant to buy because of horror stories of this being added and all fish go belly up. Well today marked day 2 of adding a dose. And just got home from work and the tang is back to normal not one single spec on him. Also had a clownfish starting to get it, gone. And a black blenny he started to get it on his head. It's all gone and it's only day 2. Understandable the parasite is still in my tank but this has taken it off my fish. If you continue treatment for a certain amount of time I'm hoping it's like you have a fish less tank and can rid the parasite. Copper is not an option because I want to eventually make a reef and also I have shrimp snails hermits etc.
Yes, I recommend this product.

If I could give this 0 stars I would. Dosed it correctly with daily 1/3 water changes after finding out my tank had ich. After the third day I saw the ich got extremely bad. 4th day, my entire tank is dead. Would’ve had way better luck if I didn’t use anything at all lol. This is the only treatment i had available at the time. DO NOT BUY THIS
No, I do not recommend this product.

Is it safe for mystery snails?
- It did not hurt my snails.

Do u have to remove your carbon filters for this to work?
- You should remove carbon before you use any fish medication. Once the treatment is over, add carbon back to remove left over medication. I don't use carbon in my filters except after using fish medicine. I only put filter floss, 1st course and then finer floss, plus, my biological media.

During Treatment is it a good idea to turn off the tank lights and blockout light? To possibly prevent juvenile parasites from spawning?
- Turning off the lights will not help with treatment when using Herbtana.

I have a 55 gallon tank of African chilids I have been treating the tank for ich for the full 14 days. Thought that time It has gotten better however it seems to still be in the water and some of the fish still have spots what should I do ?
- You can continue treating the tank until the ich is under control.

Can anyone tell me how Herbtana works? Does it settle in sand and rock so when ick drops off fish it kills the reproduction? Or does it stay in water? Just curious. Started treatment for my Tang today in 55 gal saltwater tank.
- The Herbtana stays in the water. The blend of herbal extracts work as an expellent driving parasites off the host and interfering with their feeding. It also helps to prevent additional parasites from infecting the fish. The parasites starve. It also helps to boost the immune system of the fish and stimulate their appetite. This aides in recovery and helps the fish naturally fight off infection. It Requires at least 10 days of treatment.

If I need to do a water change due to ammonia spike, how do I re-dose? I have a 55 gallon. Let’s say I need a 25% change
- I would would wait 12 hours, then give the recommended daily dose.

hi, my platy had ick, which i used the microbe-lift herbtana for. it seemed to be doing better after the full dose after the duration of 10 days. however, a few weeks later, it started getting inactive and only comes out to eat. it also looks weak.
- There may be something stressing the fish. Check the water quality, and make sure there isn’t another fish being aggressive towards it. If you don’t see other fish chasing it, wait until the lights have been off for a while and check again. You can also treat with Herbtana again in order to give the fish a boost to its immune system.
Helpful?
Can it help with Brooklynella?
- Herbtana can drive the parasite off of the fish while boosting the fish’s own immune response, and helping to heal damaged tissue, however, brooklynella could potentially spread faster than the Herbtana can stop it. If the infection continues to spread, or if you don’t see any improvement to the infected fish within a few days of starting treatment, you may need to switch to a chemical treatment. Make sure to follow the directions on the bottle.

Do I do a 25% water change before adding another dose?
- There are NO water changes necessary when treating with Microbe-Lift Herbtana or Artemiss.

Does this product clear camallanus worms in fish
- Herbtana is more effective in treating external parasites, but it should help in expelling the worms. Remember that this is a minimum 10 day treatment, and more eggs may hatch during this time, requiring extended use. If after a week of treatment, or if the fish start to show other symptoms, you may need to switch to another treatment.
