Fritz FixIck is a revolutionary new way to treat aquatic
external parasites including Ick, Chilodonella, Trichodina and Tetrahymena. As
one of the most common diseases most aquarists will encounter, finding an Ick
treatment that is simple, safe, and highly effective can be difficult. Fritz
FixIck does not contain formaldehyde, a common active in many ick treatments.
Formaldehyde will cause damage to gills and internal organs, which can result
in additional stress and fish loss. One of the active ingredients in Fritz
FixIck is Gentian Violet, which gives it a recognizable purple hue. This
compound is much gentler than malachite green based treatments. Also improving
on previous treatments, Fritz FixIck has been shown to be effective at killing
Ick parasites with a simple 2-dose system, with no reinfection after one week.
Due to Fritz FixIck’s additional antibacterial and anti-fungal properties,
secondary infections were also prevented with no additional medications,
resulting in even higher recovery rates.
Before Dosing: Adjust temperature to 82 -
85°F. This accelerates the life cycle of the parasites and ensures
maximum exposure to the treatment.
Treatment Schedule: Shake well before each dose.
Day 1: Add 5 ml (1 tsp) per 10 U.S. gallons (38 L)
Day 2: Add 5 ml (1 tsp) per 10 U.S. gallons (38 L)

no further symptoms are observed, replace chemical filtration and resume
use of protein skimmers as well as normal feeding. Adjust temperature
back to normal.
