|
| Safe Water |
| • King
British Safe Water removes harmful ammonia & nitrite
• Fish release ammonia through the gills &
by going to the toilet in the water in which they live.
Uneaten food & plant debris also decomposes, releasing
ammonia, which is toxic to fish. Ammonia may be converted
to nitrite, which is also toxic and may kill fish if
left untreated
• King British Safe Water oxidises ammonia &
nitrite into nitrate - a relatively harmless substance
that can be absorbed by plants as foods & is easily
removed by regular partial water changes
• For use in Tropical, Coldwater & Marine
aquariums and ponds |
|
|
| Safe Guard |
| • King British
Safe Guard makes tap water safe for fish. Safe Guard quickly
and effectively neutralises chlorine, chloramines and
heavy metals in tap water, preventing distress and gill
irritation in fish • Chlorine and chloramines
are powerful chemicals added to drinking water to kill
bacteria to make tap water safe for human consumption.
Left untreated, these chemicals can strip the protective
mucus coating off fish making them susceptible to bacterial
and fungal infections
• King British Safe Guard removes the excess
ammonia created from the reaction with chloramine
• King British Safe Guard also coats the fish
with a natural protective barrier of aloe vera. Fish
can lose their protective slime through handling, fighting,
shipping and other forms of stress
• For use in Tropical & Coldwater aquariums
and ponds |
|
|
| Green Algae Control |
• King British
Green Algae Control clears most forms of green algae including
filaments (fine strands) and slime
• An
aquarium or pond can be spoiled by the presence of green
algae which survive through excess light conditions &
surplus nutrients in the water
• If left untreated green water may develop caused
by a bloom of free floating algae cells
• Green algae also restricts the growth of oxygenating
plants
• For use in Tropical & Coldwater aquariums
and ponds
|
|
|
| Green Water Control |
• King British
Green Water Control clears green water
•
Green Water is the result of a bloom of free floating
algae cells which survive & multiply through excess
light conditions & surplus nutrients
• King British Green Water Control binds the
suspended algae cells together, sinking them to the
bottom of the tank or pond. It is important to remove
the dead algae as soon as possible to prevent oxygen
depletion, which could stimulate renewed algae growth
• For use in Tropical & Coldwater aquariums
and ponds |
|
|
| Plant Food |
| • King British
Plant Food contains essential nutrients & slow release
trace elements required by aquatic plants to encourage
healthy growth
• King British Plant Food also helps to create
a healthy environment for fish as plants reduce troublesome
algae growth by absorbing nutrients from the water
• The formulation does not include nitrate
or phosphate that would otherwise encourage
unwanted algae growth
• For use in Tropical & Coldwater aquariums
and ponds |
|
|
| Snail Control |
| • King
British Snail Control keeps tanks & bowls free from
snails
• Snails are found in most aquariums but can quickly
become a nuisance by eating & destroying aquarium
plants & by producing waste
• Snails may also carry diseases that can be
transmitted to fish & are a major problem in aquariums
used for breeding fish as they eat fish eggs
• For use in Tropical & Coldwater aquariums
|
|
|
| Turtle & Terrapin
Water Freshener |
• King British
Turtle & Terrapin Water Freshener neutralises organic
waste and keeps tanks & terrariums fresh
• King British Turtle & Terrapin Water Freshener
contains four natural types of bacteria which neutralise
& digest waste produced by turtles & terrapins
• If left untreated, the pollution caused by
toilet waste in the water could lead to ammonia poisoning
causing the turtles & terrapins stress & even
death
• Rapidly eliminates the bad odours that can
build up when turtles & terrapins are kept in tanks
& terrariums
• For use in Turtle & Terrapin tanks only

|
| Bacteria Control |
• King British
Bacteria Control treats fish with bacterial infections,
gill rot and external ulcers
• There are
bacteria in your aquarium or pond all the time, but they
tend only to attack vulnerable tissues that have been
damaged. Wounds & abrasions caused by bullying or
handling leave fish exposed to infection
• King British Bacteria Control kills the bacteria
that cause fin & gill rot & other external bacterial
infections in abrasions & wounded tissues (including
aeromonas & pseudomonas species)
• For use in Tropical & Coldwater aquariums
and ponds |
|
|
| Disease Clear |
| • King
British Disease Clear is a broad spectrum treatment
that controls harmful external bacterial infections
in aquariums and ponds & prevents secondary infection
of damaged tissues
• King British Disease Clear stops damaged fins
from becoming infected & prevents Fin Rot
• Aids quick regeneration of damaged tissues
• For use in Tropical & Coldwater aquariums
and ponds |
|
|
| Fin Rot & Fungus
Control |
• King British
Fin Rot & Fungus Control treats fish with fungal infections
and aids rapid repair of body tissues
•
King British Fin Rot & Fungus Control is a fast acting
treatment for fin rot & fungal infections. It promotes
the rapid healing of damaged fins, stimulates new growth
& can be used to treat bruised mouths & damaged
body tissues
• Fin rot & fungal infections attack vulnerable
tissues & wounds that are left exposed following
fighting, spawning & poor handling. Poor water quality
also increases the chance of fish becoming infected
with fin rot & fungal infections
• Fungal infections often attack fish following
another health problem such as parasitic infection or
injury
• For use in Tropical & Coldwater aquariums
and ponds |
|
|
| Methylene Blue |
| • King
British Methylene Blue, an anti-fungal agent with anti-septic
healing properties, is effective against a variety of
parasites including flukes
• Methylene Blue is one of the best known active
ingredients in fish treatments, traditionally used to
treat slime disease, flukes, white spot & velvet
& fungus on fish eggs
• Methylene Blue can also be used as a substitute
oxygen source
• Used undiluted, King British Methylene Blue
can be applied as an antiseptic directly onto wounds
& damaged areas using a cotton bud as a swab
• For use in Tropical & Coldwater aquariums
|
|
|
| Revitaliser Tonic |
| • King
British Revitaliser Tonic is a blend of liquified salts
& is a fast acting solution for fish suffering from
constipation or perceived swim bladder problems
• It also stimulates the internal osmosis stabilising
mechanism of fish, flushing the skin & scales of
excess body slime & surface discomfort
• Regular use of King British Revitaliser Tonic
helps to keep fish healthy & stress free, enabling
them to better keep disease organisms at bay with their
own immune systems
• For use in Tropical & Coldwater aquariums
|
|
|
| Velvet Control |
| • King British Velvet Control
quickly and effectively treats fish with velvet parasites
• Fish often carry a small population of skin
& gill parasites. This population rapidly increases
when fish become stressed & can be fatal if left
untreated
• The velvet parasite can be seen as very fine
spots on the skin & produce a gold or rust coloured
velvet like layer over the affected area
• For use in Tropical & Coldwater aquariums |
|
|
| White Spot Control |
| • King British White Spot Control
is an effective treatment for fish with external parasites
including white spot (ich), trichodina and costia
• White spot is not visible to the naked eye in
its swimming state or on the host of fish for the first
2 days. It grows rapidly & appears as small pinhead
sized white spots on the body & fins. After 5-7
days the spots break up into smaller parasites &
rapidly reinfect the fish
• If left untreated, fish quickly become sluggish,
their fins will disintergrate & the fish may die
• For use in Tropical & Coldwater aquariums
and ponds
