William Greene –
Effective against white spots on my goldfish. Followed the dosage instructions carefully and saw improvement within 4 days. Removed the filter during treatment and kept the tank well aerated. The dye stain was noticeable if spilled, but otherwise the product worked well.

Used it after introducing new fish. The white spots appeared quickly, and the treatment helped eliminate them. I made sure to remove the activated carbon filter. A bit messy due to the dye, but effective.
Audrey Stewart –
It reduced the white spots, but I noticed some fish became lethargic during treatment. I think the dosage might have been a bit high. Would recommend checking the instructions again.
