Colombo Cobrasal® - Active Treatment Against Marine Fish Skin Parasites

Introduction

Colombo Cobrasal® is specially formulated to combat common skin parasites in marine fish such as Cryptocaryon, Uronema, Brooklynella, Oödinium, and others. However, please note that this product is not suitable for use in marine aquariums containing invertebrates such as anemones, shrimp, and corals. Before using Cobrasal, read the instructions carefully and do not hesitate to seek advice from your retailer if in doubt.

Calculating Aquarium Volume

To determine the volume of the aquarium, use the formula: Length x width x height in centimeters, then divide by 1000. This will give you the volume of the unstocked aquarium in liters. Then subtract the volume occupied by live rock, sand, etc. Cobrasal is available in 500 ml packages, suitable for treating 2,500 liters of aquarium water.

Dosage and Use

The recommended dosage is 2.5 ml of Cobrasal for 100 liters of aquarium water. Administer the product on days 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12. If necessary, water changes can be performed only between dosages and if truly necessary. After measuring the required amount with the provided syringe, dilute it in 1 liter of aquarium water, then spread this mixture in the quarantine aquarium. Ensure that circulation pumps are running for an even distribution of the product. Do not filter with carbon, turn off UV lamps and ozone devices until 24 hours after the last administration of the product. If you need to treat fish in an aquarium with invertebrates, we recommend using Colombo Femsal®.

Precautions and Warning

When reintroducing treated fish into the main aquarium (after quarantine), ensure that the rest of Cobrasal does not enter the aquarium to avoid affecting invertebrates. Do not use it with sharks, rays, and shrimp. Do not combine Cobrasal with other medications. If you have already used another product, clean first with activated carbon and renew the water to remove any traces of active substances from the previous product, which could react with Cobrasal.

The product is intended only for ornamental fish in marine aquariums. Keep it in its original packaging, out of reach of children, at a temperature between 4 and 32°C. Avoid inhaling vapors and contact with skin and eyes. In case of ingestion, consult a doctor immediately and show them the packaging or label. This product can leave indelible stains on clothes, furniture, floors, etc. Feel free to share your feedback via www.colombo.nl or info@colombo.nl.

Information on Treated Parasites

Tropical marine fish are vulnerable to various parasites. Here is some information on common parasites treatable with Cobrasal:

• White spots in seawater (Cryptocaryon irritans): small white spots comparable to grains of salt on the skin of fish.
• Uronema: appearance of small spots that worsen if the fish is not treated.
• Brooklynella: causes excess mucus and respiratory problems.
• Coral Fish Disease (Oödinium): effectively treated with Cobrasal.

The appearance of parasites is often related to environmental issues such as stress from transport, unstable water composition, temperature variations, or high levels of ammonia and nitrites. In addition to treatment, ensure the quality of water, lighting, feeding, and correct use of equipment.
