Due to a German website, this product contains: (1) 6.3 mg Ethacridine
lactate, (2) 3.2 mg Copper ++, (3) 0.26 mg Methyl orange, (4) 1 mg
Proflavin. This means it is a multifunctiol product. Be careful if you
have certain plants because of (1), (2), or if you have snails, shrimps
because of (2).


Yeah - that should kill plants, inverts, and just about anything on the
surface of a fish. I wonder what the methyl orange is for?


I really have a lot of praise for this product in that it has
helped my fish with all sorts - but it hasn't hurt my plants,
or (as far as I could tell) the filter - it says it won't -
or in fact my catfish / loaches (I split the daily dose in two
and gave half twice a day in that case).

I too would love to know what's in it, because it seems to be
all I need unless there is something specific (like eye fluke)
which needs specific treatment.

It is a sort of browny colour - almost blood red like iron.

I've scanned the leaflet, it's very crumpled (sorry!) but if
anyone is interested this is what it says in the packaging:

Hope that's some help?
