Aquasonic Fungonex 100mL – Aquarium Fungal Treatment

Aquasonic Fungonex 100mL is a freshwater aquarium fish medication formulated to help treat fungal infections, fin and tail rot, cloudy eyes and damaged fins. Containing acriflavine and malachite green, it helps control fungal growth affecting the skin and fins of aquarium fish.

Fungal infections often appear as white or grey cotton-wool-like growths on the body, fins or around damaged tissue. Early treatment is important to help prevent these infections from progressing and causing further harm to your fish.

Aquasonic Fungonex is suitable for freshwater aquarium treatment when used according to the manufacturer's instructions, with a reduced dosage recommended for sensitive species such as tetras, juvenile fish and loaches.

Why Choose Aquasonic Fungonex?

• Targets fungal infections: Helps treat white or grey cotton-wool-like fungal growths on freshwater aquarium fish.
• Supports fin and tail treatment: Recommended by Aquasonic for fish showing signs of fin and tail rot.
• Suitable for affected skin and fins: Can be used where fungal growth develops around minor injuries.
• Helps with cloudy eye symptoms: Listed for use when cloudy eyes accompany suitable fungal or external disease conditions.
• Contains established active ingredients: Formulated with acriflavine and malachite green.
• Reduced dosage for sensitive fish: Manufacturer instructions include a lower concentration for tetras, juvenile fish and scaleless species.
• Convenient 100mL bottle: Provides enough medication to treat approximately 400 litres at the standard dosage.

When Should You Use Aquasonic Fungonex?

Aquasonic Fungonex is intended for freshwater fish showing signs consistent with fungal infection or certain external disease conditions.

Symptoms that may indicate a need for further investigation include:

• White or grey cotton-wool-like patches on the skin or fins.
• Fungal growth developing around damaged tissue.
• Frayed, damaged or deteriorating fins.
• Cloudy eyes associated with an external infection.
• Red or damaged fins that may be affected by secondary infection.

Important: Similar symptoms can be caused by fungal, bacterial or parasitic infections. Not every white patch or case of fin damage is caused by fungus. Correct identification is important before choosing medication, particularly if fish are deteriorating rapidly.

How to Use Aquasonic Fungonex

Follow the manufacturer's treatment instructions carefully.

1. Perform a partial water change of approximately 25% before commencing treatment.
2. Remove activated carbon from the aquarium filter, as it can absorb the medication.
3. Ensure strong aeration and adequate oxygen levels throughout treatment.
4. Calculate the actual volume of aquarium water before dosing.
5. Add the appropriate dosage for the fish species being treated.
6. Repeat the treatment after three days as directed.
7. Continue monitoring fish behaviour, symptoms and aquarium water quality.

Recommended Dosage

• Standard freshwater dosage: 5mL per 20 litres of aquarium water.
• Sensitive fish dosage: 5mL per 40 litres for tetras, juvenile fish and scaleless species such as loaches.
• Repeat treatment: Repeat after three days according to the manufacturer's directions.

100mL bottle coverage: Approximately 400 litres at the standard dose, or 800 litres at the reduced sensitive-species dose. This represents total treatment volume per dose, not a complete multi-dose treatment course.

Do not overdose. Aquasonic Fungonex contains a dye that may stain aquarium equipment, silicone and surrounding surfaces if spilled.

Important Treatment Precautions

• For freshwater ornamental aquarium fish only.
• Do not use on fish intended for human consumption.
• Use caution with sensitive fish and follow the reduced dosage where specified.
• Do not assume the treatment is safe for freshwater shrimp, snails or other invertebrates.
• Use a separate treatment aquarium where compatibility with sensitive livestock or plants is uncertain.
• Remove activated carbon during treatment.
• Maintain adequate aeration throughout the treatment period.
• Avoid contact with skin and eyes, and wash hands after handling.
• Store below 30 degrees Celsius with the lid tightly closed.

For persistent or worsening symptoms, seek advice from an experienced aquatic veterinarian. Fungonex is not a substitute for suitable water conditions, correct diagnosis or appropriate aquarium maintenance.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does Aquasonic Fungonex treat?

Aquasonic Fungonex is formulated to help treat fungal infections, fin and tail rot, cloudy eyes and affected skin or fins in freshwater aquarium fish. Correct diagnosis is important because similar symptoms can have different causes.

How much Aquasonic Fungonex should I use?

The standard dosage is 5mL per 20 litres of aquarium water. For sensitive fish such as tetras, juvenile fish and scaleless loaches, the manufacturer recommends a reduced dosage of 5mL per 40 litres.

How often should I repeat Aquasonic Fungonex treatment?

Aquasonic recommends repeating the dosage after three days. Follow the product label and monitor fish carefully throughout treatment.

Can I use Fungonex with tetras and loaches?

Aquasonic provides a reduced dosage of 5mL per 40 litres for tetras, juvenile fish and scaleless species such as loaches. These fish may be more sensitive to aquarium medications, so close monitoring is important.

Is Aquasonic Fungonex safe for aquarium shrimp and snails?

Do not assume Fungonex is safe for shrimp, snails or other aquarium invertebrates. The product contains malachite green and acriflavine, and a separate treatment aquarium is preferable where compatibility is uncertain.

Should I remove activated carbon during treatment?

Yes. Activated carbon can absorb medication from aquarium water, reducing treatment effectiveness. Remove carbon during treatment while maintaining biological filtration and aeration.

Can Aquasonic Fungonex treat white spot disease?

Fungonex is primarily intended for fungal infections and certain external disease conditions. White spot is caused by a parasite rather than fungus and requires an appropriate white spot treatment and diagnosis.

Does Aquasonic Fungonex stain aquarium equipment?

Yes. Fungonex contains colouring agents that may stain aquarium silicone, equipment and nearby surfaces. Handle carefully and clean spills promptly according to the label safety instructions.
