More info
OODINEX is a wide range disease treatment for marine fish in aquariums with invertebrates (such as sea anemones, corals and crustaceans). The unique formula solves a wide range of fungal, bacterial and parasitic infections. OODINEX’s wide range action means the danger of choosing the wrong treatment is virtually eliminated. If there are no invertebrates in the tank, it is recommended to use eSHa TRIMARIN, which has an even broader treatment range.
A list of specific disease organisms and conditions that OODINEX treats:
- Oodinium: fine whitish / yellow spots or ‘salt and pepper’ coating can be seen, especially on the fins. The spots can give a ‘hazy gold’ appearance. Fish may ‘rub and scratch’ against hard objects and show rapid gill movement (difficulty breathing). Slime may cover the body. This is common for tangs and clownfish;
- Marine whitespot: white spots on the body and fins of your fish. Your fish may try to ‘rub and scratch’ against hard objects such as aquarium decor;
- Fungus: white or slightly off-white fluffy growths on the fins and body of your fish. Often found on wounds or broken skin, where the mucus layer has been broken, a classic secondary infection;
- Finrot: the fins of your fish appear ragged and sore, frayed or torn;
- Dropsy: your fish appear swollen with scales / fins protruding from the skin. Red areas often visible at the base of raised scales. Bases of fins and around anus appears red or bloodshot. Eyes may protrude from body;
- Wasting disease: symptoms can include some or all of the following: weight loss, ulcers, popeye, listlessness, swollen belly, sore skin patches, loss of appetite, ‘wasted’ appearance.
Some diseases are very difficult to diagnose or can be diagnosed incorrectly. For example, fungus may result from another problem such as finrot. Therefore, it is important to treat the root of the problem (finrot) as well as the resulting secondary infection (fungus). As OODINEX treats many diseases you have a very good chance of treating the root problem and improving your fish’s health. In some cases it is more effective to keep an eye out for a variety of symptoms which fish tend to exhibit when they are infected.
The symptoms
- Shaking of the head;
- Lying near the water surface;
- Shimmying (body rocking);
- Cloudy eyes;
- Slimy skin / red skin inflammations;
- Skin patchiness / discolouration;
- Bloody patches / spots;
- Open wounds / bleeding skin;
- Rough scales / scale loss;
- Mucus patches;
- Breathing difficulty;
- Rapid gill movement.
OODINEX treats a wide range of infections characterised by the above symptoms. These infections are often very contagious and can easily spread to healthy fish. The sooner you treat your fish, the better their chance of recovery.
