Mix 1/10th of a Teaspoon per 250L of aquarium water. Approx 2mg/L. The Aquarium Water will turn a light purple colour. This colour will remain for 4-6hours.
If colour turns yellow-dark brown the water quality is too poor and you will need to water change and dose again.
After 4-6hours the water will change colour to a yellow/brown colour. Complete a 20-30% water change.
If fish show any signs of stress during treatment, complete a 50% water change immediately.
Treating Fish
Potassium permanganate can be used to treat parasites on individual fish. It will eliminate anchor worms, fish lice & costia and can help with flukes, fungus & many types of bacterial infections.
Prepare 8 Litres of aquarium water and add 1/8 teaspoon (0.6g) of crystals. Stir until dissolved & dip fish into this solution for 5 – 10 mins (if the fish looks stressed remove immediately), Dip fish into a bucket of clean aquarium water for a few seconds to rinse and then put the fish back in the aquarium.
Do not treat your aquarium with this level of medication.
Disinfecting Plants
To prepare for the disinfecting of aquatic plants, prepare 10 Litres of lukewarm clean tap water and drop 1/8 teaspoon of crystals into it and stir until the solution turns deep blue/purple. Dip the leaves of the plant into the solution for 10 minutes, being careful not to dip the roots of the plant in it. Then rinse off thoroughly.
