EIHO Anti-Fungus & Finrot: The Gentle Guardian for Damaged Fins and Scales

EIHO Anti-Fungus & Finrot is a high-performance treatment designed to stop tissue-eating bacteria and fungal spores in their tracks. It specifically targets external bacterial infections (Flavobacterium columnare) and fungal growths (Saprolegnia) that manifest as white, fuzzy patches or rapidly receding fin tissue. This formula is a lifesaver for fish suffering from physical trauma, aggressive tank mates, or poor water quality that has compromised their natural defenses.

When a fish’s protective slime coat is damaged, environmental pathogens quickly move in to colonize the wound. This treatment works by sanitizing the affected areas and preventing the spread of infection to healthy tissue. It is suitable for both freshwater and saltwater fish, and because it is formulated to be effective yet mild, it is an excellent choice for sensitive species like Bettas, Goldfish, and livebearers that are prone to fin-related issues.

Why You Need This

Watching your fish's beautiful fins literally disappear or turn white can be heartbreaking. This product addresses these common hobbyist "pain points":

• Ragged, Milky Fins: If your fish looks like its tail is being "eaten" away or shows a white milky edge, this stops the bacterial melt immediately.

• Cotton-Wool Growth: It eliminates those tufts of white "fluff" that grow on the body or mouth following an injury.

• Secondary Infections: It prevents a simple scratch from turning into a lethal systemic infection.

• Mouth Fungus: Despite the name, "Mouth Fungus" is often bacterial (Columnaris); this formula is designed to treat both possibilities effectively.

Instructions 

Speed is key when dealing with tissue rot. Here is the best way to get your fish back on the road to recovery:

1. Prep your tank: Remove any activated carbon or chemical resins from your filter. These will absorb the medication, rendering it useless.

2. Add the med: Dose 5ml (one capful) of EIHO Anti-Fungus & Finrot for every 50L of aquarium water.

3. The Treatment Window: For mild cases, a single dose is often enough. For more advanced "rot," repeat the dose on the third day.

4. Fresh Water Boost: Perform a 25% water change before any repeat dosage to keep the environment clean.

5. Watch for Regrowth: Once the infection stops, you’ll see a clear or white "fringe" on the fins—this is new growth! You can now put your carbon back in.

Expert Tip: Clean water is the best medicine. During treatment, keep your nitrate NO3 levels low. Bacteria thrive in organic waste, so a quick vacuum of the gravel before dosing gives the medication a much better chance of working quickly!

FAQ Section

Is this treatment safe for my aquarium plants?

Yes, it is plant-safe at the recommended dosage. It won't cause your greenery to melt or yellow, so you can treat your fish in their home display tank without worry.

Will EIHO Anti-Fungus & Finrot turn my water blue?

You will see a slight color change in the water upon dosing. This is normal and shows the active ingredients are dispersed. The tint will disappear after a water change or once you restart your carbon filtration.

Is it safe for snails and shrimp?

This formula is generally safe for hardy invertebrates like Nerite snails. However, for high-grade ornamental shrimp, it is always safer to treat the infected fish in a separate "hospital" tank if possible.

Can I use this with other EIHO medications?

We generally recommend treating one issue at a time. If you suspect both parasites and fungus, start with the most visible problem first (usually the fungus) before moving on to other treatments.

How long does it take for fins to grow back?

While the medication stops the rot in 24–48 hours, actual fin regrowth can take 2 to 4 weeks depending on the fish’s diet and water temperature. Patience is key!
