Product Information

Full details

NT Labs Swimbladder Treatment is designed for aquarium hobbyists keeping tropical or coldwater fish who are dealing with buoyancy issues caused by bacterial infections. This single-dose treatment effectively targets Aeromonas and Pseudomonas bacteria to restore a fish's balance and stability, though users should be prepared for the temporary, strong fluorescent coloration it leaves in the aquarium water.

FAQs

Can I use this in a tank with live plants?

Yes, it is generally safe for plants, but monitor them for any sensitivity to the dyes used.

How long until I see results?

Results vary depending on the severity of the infection, but you should notice improvements in the fish's behavior within a few days.

Can I repeat the treatment?

Yes, if necessary, the dose may be repeated after 7-10 days.

Is it safe for saltwater fish?

No, this product is formulated specifically for tropical and coldwater freshwater aquariums.

Does this kill the beneficial bacteria in my filter?

The product is designed to target specific fish-pathogenic bacteria; however, always monitor your water parameters during and after any medication cycle.

Troubleshooting

The aquarium water is still very colored after the fish has recovered.

Perform regular partial water changes and use an active carbon filter or NT Labs Colour & Toxin Remover to clear the residual dye.

My decorative gravel has been stained by the treatment.

Unfortunately, some porous materials will absorb the fluorescent dye. Always test a small area first before treating the entire main tank.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Effective against common bacteria causing buoyancy loss
  • Convenient single-dose application
  • Suitable for a wide variety of tropical and coldwater fish species
  • Visible active ingredient ensures treatment is present

Cons

  • Causes strong temporary coloration of the aquarium water
  • May permanently stain certain types of aquarium gravel or ornaments
  • Requires manual removal via water changes or carbon filters after treatment

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To use this treatment, ensure your aquarium filtration is running unless otherwise specified by the label instructions. If you are concerned about your specific tank decor, perform a patch test on a small, hidden piece of gravel or plastic ornament to see if it absorbs the color. After the treatment period has elapsed and the fish has shown signs of recovery, perform a series of partial water changes to clear the color from the system. You can accelerate the removal of the dye by using a chemical filter media, such as high-quality filter carbon or NT Labs Colour & Toxin Remover, which effectively captures the remaining pigments and taints.
