Hikari Ich-X for Aquarium (4-Ounce)

Hikari Ich-X is a potent liquid medication designed to treat “Ich” (white spot disease) and other external protozoan, fungal, and bacterial infections in aquarium fish. It is formulated to be effective while minimizing stress on the fish. The 4-ounce (approx. 118 ml) bottle is a convenient size for standard home aquariums.

The formula is widely recommended by aquarists for its high efficacy rate. It is particularly noted for being safer for sensitive species and invertebrates when used at adjusted dosages. However, users should be aware that the liquid contains dyes that can stain surfaces like flooring or aquarium silicone if spilled.

• Invertebrate Friendly (with caution): Can be used in tanks with shrimp or snails, provided the dosage is halved as per the bottle instructions.
