Esha gdex

Esha gdex

eSHa gdex is specially developed against skin and gill flukes (like Gyrodactylus sp. and Dactylogyrus sp.) and tapeworms (Cestoda).

One of the many advantages is that the product can be used in combination with all our other freshwater medicines. The combination of eSHa 2000, EXIT and eSHa gdex gives you an extremely broad range of action. Combine eSHa gdex with HEXAMITA and you have a very effective medicine for Discus and other soft water Cichlids. Moreover eSHa gdex does not colour the water or lead to a bacterial bloom and is well tolerated by fish, plants, filters and shrimp.

eSHa gdex can also be used with marine fish in quarantine tanks.

Symptoms of Skin Flukes, Gill Flukes and Tapeworms

• excessive mucus secretion; clamped fins which can become ragged and sore;
• your fish starts to rub its whole body against plants, decoration, rock and gravel; in advanced stages, white or yellow spots or lesions are visible on the skin (due to secondary infection); rubbing the head or near the gill plates;
• small red or bloody skin patches along the body; discolorations;
• irregular breathing; breathing through only one of the gills; spreading the gills wide open;
• slow swimming or hovering; pale and swollen gills that can extend beyond the gill plates; your fish remain listless and lethargic and will be swimming at the surface in advanced stages.
• the fish quickly loses weight, despite the normal quantity of food. Even when the amount of food is increased, the fish does not gain weight and looks emaciated.
