API White Spot Cure is an effective liquid treatment formulated to help aquarists quickly address white spot disease (Ich) and other highly contagious external parasitic infections in aquarium fish. Designed for use in both freshwater and saltwater tanks, this treatment works by targeting and eliminating the Ichthyophthirius multifiliis parasite — the microscopic organism responsible for white spot “ich” infestations — often producing results within the first 24 hours of dosing.
The formula also helps boost your fish’s natural defense system by adding a protective slime coat, which can reduce the likelihood of secondary bacterial or fungal infections while fish recover.
Key Features & Benefits:
-
🐠 Treats Ich (White Spot) – quickly combats the parasitic agent that causes visible white spots and irritation.
-
🦠 Controls Other Parasitic Diseases – also effective against related highly contagious infections like cryptocaryon.
-
🛡️ Enhances Protective Slime Coat – helps strengthen fish’s natural protective barrier.
-
💧 Suitable for Freshwater & Saltwater – versatile enough for most aquarium setups (except reef systems).
-
📏 Covers Up to ~447 L – the 118 ml bottle treats a substantial volume of aquarium water.
How to Use:
Before treatment, remove activated carbon from your filter and ensure good aeration. Dose according to the label (typically ~5 ml per 20 L), repeat after 48 hours, then perform a partial water change and replace filter carbon once the course is complete. Adjust temperature slightly if needed to support treatment effectiveness.
Important Considerations:
API White Spot Cure is a trusted choice for aquarists seeking a reliable solution to ich and related parasitic issues while helping fish recover with less stress.
