Cerpofor Femsee

 Calculate the volume of the aquarium as accurately as possible: length x wide x height, measured in decimetres, gives the volume of the tank in litres. Deductions must then be made for the volume of any substrate, plants, stones, fossilised wood and ornaments etc. These normally represent some 10% but can account for up to 30% in well filled aquaria.

Cerpofor Femsee is available in the following sizes: 100 ml for 500 ltr of aquarium water and 1.000 ml for 5.000 ltr.

For effective treatment and for the quick recovery of the diseased fish, good water quality is essential. Hence, always test the water quality before and after the treatment, and correct when necessary.

 1 ml per 5 litres aquarium water. Measure out the required amount in the measure provided, dissolve in 1 litre of aquarium water and spread out over the water surface. Turn on an aerator. A repeat treatment may be required in certain cases. This may be done using a half dosage on the 2nd and the 3rd day, if necessary.

Remove carbon and zeolite during treatment; UV-lamps and ozone should be switched off until 48 hours after the last administration. During the treatment no water changes should be made unless poor water quality demands it; in such a case re-dose at 1 ml per 5 ltr of added tap water.

The aquarium filter can stay on during the treatment. A treatment with Cerpofor Femsee discolours the water. To remove the colour from the water, you can restart your weekly water changes (we advise 10-20%) one week after the last addition of Femsee, and you can filter over active carbon.

As far as known, this product is harmless to invertebrates such as frogs, shrimps, freshwater lobsters and snails.

Cerpofor Femsee is developed for use in normal community aquaria with a pH between 7 and 8.5 and a KH of 4-8°DH. Specialised aquaria often have abnormal water values, leading to an abnormal, often negative response to Femsee; mainly tanks with a low pH and/or KH, as well as aquaria which make use of reverse osmosis water in which the conductivity is very low. Wild-caught fish can be very sensitive to medicines and often respond badly to medications as compared to captive bred fish. Use of Femsee in these situations is strictly at your own risk!

Only for use on ornamental fresh water fish in aquaria. Keep out of reach of children. Store in the box at a temperature of 4 to 32°C. Do not inhale. Prevent contact with the skin and eyes. If swallowed, immediately consult a physician and show package or label. This product causes permanent stains on clothing, paving materials, etc.

Administration of more than 2 products and/or medications in one combination is at one’s own risk. Do not use at the same time together with products of other origin!

Fungal Infection (most caused by Saprolegnia) are marked by the appearance of greyish white, cotton-like growths on the skin and/or gills. The fungus grows on the skin surface, but can also penetrate to affect muscles and internal organs. These cases often prove to be fatal.

White spot is caused by Ichthyophthirius multifiliis. This disease usually occurs when the natural resistance of fish is reduced or compromised. Examples of such circumstances include transportation, overcrowding or the addition of new fish. Affected fish show white spots on their skin, 0,1 to 1mm in size. These spots can be separate or clustered. The fish rub their skin on plants or rocks and may sometimes ‘rock’ back and forth in the water. After major loss of (breathing) skin surface or when the gills are affected, shortness of breath sets in and eventually the fish will die.
