I bought this fish medication 4 days ago as my goldfish was suddenly super lethargic and just laying at the bottom of his tank for a few days. After he didn’t naturally bounce back, I noticed red streaks in his tail, bottom fins, and red spots under his belly. After one day of use my fish was up swimming as normal, and after 3 days, his spots and streaks are already gone! I can’t stress enough that I thought my fish was on his last leg… after using this product he now seems more healthy and happier than he’s ever been! Can’t recommend enough!

I bought 6 columbian tetras from a small pet store. Their red tails were faded, they were not eating well, and one had a small spot on the tail that looked like a piece of rice. I bought this product because it covers a wide range of disease causing microorganisms. I followed the instructions on the box. By day 3 the white spot was gone, their coloring was vibrant, and they were eating well and active. I completed the 5 day cycle as recommended. This product was easy to use. No measuring, no dye, and it was safe for all my fish. I would highly recommend this product.

I purchased this from my local pet shop because my betta was showing signs of fin rot, lethargy and decreased appetite. I thought he was on the verge of dying. After reading some of the reviews here I was apprehensive because some people found negative effects and their fish died. Finally, it came to the point where if I didn’t do something my betta would die, so it was either try it and it kill him or he would die anyways. I removed the shrimp and live plants from the aquarium, did a complete water change and began treatment. I realized why people had adverse effects. These tablets will spike ammonia. This is why it states on the box “Not for use in a new tank.” They should word it “Not for use in a non-cycled tank” because I think some of the negative reviewers may have not understood why was meant by “new tank”. Since it spikes ammonia a bit, if the tank isn’t cycled and have an established colony of nitrifying bacteria then there is nothing to keep the ammonia in check. It will build up and that’s what will kill the fish… not the tablets themselves. However, you don’t actually need a cycled tank. As long as you keep dosing something to decrease the ammonia (I used Seachem Stability) then the ammonia will be kept in check. I did this because I’ve been having issues to get my tank cycled. Bonus is that due to the ammonia spikes and adding nitrifying bacteria to the tank during treatment, it actually helped cycle my tank!!! 2 for 1 I guess. End result: My betta is now super active. His colour and fins are coming back vibrantly. He has a huge appetite now and he is so happy he’s even making bubble nests again! I 110% recommend this product and give it 11/10!

We used this product to treat fin rot in our fish last week, specifically 6 platy fish. Unfortunately, within 24 hours of applying the product, 5 of the fish died. We followed the instructions diligently.

I can't buy these tablets online don't know why I live in the united kingdom that might be something to do with it post cost too much likely

My albino cordyrora (catfish) started showing red spots all over his body. Some were bigger than others. After researching and discovering it was red spot disease and likely fatal, I almost decided not to even try saving him because previous attempts at medicating sick fish with different medications rarely worked. For example, I've come to believe that both melafix and pimafix are equivalent to snake oil, never cured anything and all infected fish died when I used either of these products. Anyhow, I decided to try life guard and attempt to save my fish, and Im glad I did as this product was effective and cured my fish, but it took longer than the 5 day treatment period.... First, I placed my sick fish in a two gallon, aerated bowl. I then split one pill in half, grinded it up, dissolved it with a spot of water, and then poured dissolved pill into his 2 Gallon sick tank. I did this for a total of 10 days, double the recommended treatment period. I completely changed the water in sick tank every 3 days due to longer treatment period, as I was concerned 10 days without water change might be toxic due to ammonia and medication build up. I did 10 days because although he showed no spots after five days, when I put him back in tank, the spots began to appear again within. 24 hours. Consequently, I put the fish back in sick tank and resumed treatment for another 5 days. I'm happy to say that after 10 days treatment, my fish is showing no signs of red spot disease and is active and thriving. I'm glad I didn't just throw in the towel and gave this product a try because it saved my little buddy when almost all info on red spot disease said he would probably die.

My Betta was clamping his fins, so I thought I'd try this. Followed instructions, but my fish is now rapidly dying. This medicine is clearly killing him.

We have had Bob our goldfish for close to four years now. We noticed he started to have fungus on his fins and what looked like fin rot. A white film covering his eyes. After the second day of treatment, Bob is back being active and happy. The fungus and the fin rot have completely disappeared. This is an amazing product and I recommend it to anyone thank you Tetra!! You saved our friend.
