Seachem Focus

Seachem Focus is an antibacterial polymer for freshwater and marine fishkeepers preparing medicated food for fish with suspected internal fungal or bacterial infections. This 5 g (0.18 oz) treatment additive can be used with selected fish medications to help make food more palatable and reduce medication loss to aquarium water through diffusion.

Key Benefits

• Antibacterial polymer formulated for internal fish infections.
• Contains polymer bound nitrofurantoin (0.1%) as the active ingredient.
• Can be used alone or combined with another appropriate medication for the fish’s specific infection.
• Helps create a medicated food mix, rather than adding multiple medications directly to aquarium water.
• Suitable for freshwater and marine aquaria.

Suitable For

Use Seachem Focus when fish show potential signs of an internal infection, including bloating, abnormal stools, loss of appetite or weight loss. A medicated food approach may also be considered where corals, plants or invertebrates are present in the aquarium.

How to Use

Research the fish’s symptoms and select an appropriate medication for the condition. Stir the medicated food mixture together before feeding. Feed once daily, offering only as much as the fish can consume in about 1 minute. Treatment periods vary, but treatment for at least one week is recommended. Prepared medicated food may be refrigerated or frozen between feedings.
