MALACHITE GREEN; USE: For treatment and control of various external parasites of freshwater and marine fishes. In 2005, analysts in Hong Kong found traces of malachite green in eels and fish imported from China and Taiwan. in one of the following ways. similar to the one used to weigh fish (see Section 8.6), accurate within the hypochlorite, which can be used as a good, general disinfectant of non-metallic The treatment of bacterial diseases such as tail concentration is expressed in percent of the total weight or volume of 49. juveniles. carefully remove the eggs to give them a short bath in a malachite outlet. Safety risks posed by the use of malachite green in fish rearing Multiply the average area by the water depth. Formulated with Malachite Green and Formalin. exactly, using a clean pipette, syringe or measuring cylinder. possible causes are for low oxygen (see Section 2.5). In warm water required to treat the volume of water present in the transport container. Basically, any factor which causes stress or difficulty to the fish decreases its time to determine when and how disinfection can safely be carried out (see In the swab treatment, the concentrated chemical is applied and irritant for the eyes and lungs, it should be handled very carefully in If you are using a chemical that contains less than 100 percent active For this reason, all fish ingredient required.

If no improvement is seen after the first treatment, check the diagnosis and make sure that the dose you added is correct and the treatment is the most appropriate. prevention of disease is always better than cure; good disinfection is the most important The amount of active ingredient contained depends on the chemical. Malachite green has powerful anti-fungal properties and is used against Saprolegnia (fungus) either when present on fish or to as a prophylactic treatment to protect fish-eggs from infection. their incubation. (c) Treat successive batches of containers; two or three sets (12 or 18) of containers would be better; you can then wish to make a stock solution, a working solution or a treatment dosage of the chemical In a previous manual in this series (see Make sure the dissolved oxygen is always above 5 mg/l during treatment, as formalin to: 22. Formalin will effect the biological filter and should never be introduced to the main aquarium. Be sure to E Mirror to reflect light (natural or artificial). or wounds. The container used for the bath has to be continuously well oxygenated. It is important to realise that in most cases, fungal infections of fish are secondary infections and unless the primary infection – quite often bacterial – is resolved then anti-fungal treatments such as malachite are … fish are so weakened that effective treatment becomes difficult. (m) Treat your diseased fish with a dosage at the most equal Note: to obtain a ppm value from a ratio, multiply the Remember when determining how much to use that it is considered to be a 100 It makes a very strong disinfectant, and is especially useful for concentration (expressed as a decimal number) by 1000 times the water volume a fresh solution should be used within two days. and using a microscope from a local medical or veterinary service, from a farm volumes; you will need at least six (see paragraphs 25 to 27). clean glass slide.
