eSHa 2000 και σαληγκάρι...

[delta66]

Τα φαρμακα που εχουν και αντιμικροβιακη δραση (αν και δεν ειναι αντιβιωση καθαρη το esha2000) καλο ειναι να μενουν στο νερο οσο λενε οι οδηγιες γιατι αλλιως μπορει αλλιως να δημιουργουνται ανθεκτικα στελεχη (οπως στην αντιβιωση) και να μη τα πιανει μετα ξανα το φαρμακο.

Ο χαλκος (copper) τα εστειλε τα σαλιγκαρια, και αν εχεις και μαλακο νερο γινεται πιο τοξικος.

1) Ethacridine lactate, ked in the 1920s as Rivanol, is an antibacterial acridine. It is sometimes used to treat shigella.
2) Proflavin is another acridine that is very closely related to acriflavin. It's good for killing protozoans like velvet, gram positive bacteria, and fungus.
3) Copper is also good for killing protozoans like ich and velvet. Works best but is most toxic to fish in soft water.
4) Methyl orange, good for??? It's normally used as a pH indicator in aquarium alkalinity test kits. I've never seen it mentioned as a fish medicine.
This is an antibiotic-free "scattershot" medicine, and it is reasonable to try it for anything in the leaflet. It will have the strongest action against protozoans like velvet, tetrahymena, and possibly ich. I assume by blocking NTD they mean that it kills free-swimming parasites.
It would not stop transmission from scavenging infected corpses. I wouldn't expect much for dropsy - these compounds don't penetrate tissue every well so they wouldn't get inside the fish.
TetraMedica General Tonic is a similar mixture of acridines with methylene blue and no copper. If you don't like copper, it's a good choice.
As for plants, proflavin must be safer. Acriflavine (a mixture of acriflavin and proflavin) kills them quite effectively. The methylene blue in the Tetra medicine also kills plants, but it's a pretty good antifungal and antibacterial.

The green is most likely malachite green !!
