LiveAquaria® ProtoPro is designed to be used in freshwater aquariums for the removal of protozoal parasites such asIch Ichthyophthirius multifiliis, also known as White Spot Disease. ProtoPro is also effective on Ambiphyra, Chilodonella, Ichthyobodo, Tetrahymena, and Trichodina. It is the first product of its kind to be introduced in nearly 40 years!

How it works
LiveAquaria® ProtoPro contains a cyclic lipopeptide molecule named Biokos™ that is extracted from a Pseudomonas genus bacterium that destroys the cellular membranes of protozoa.

What is BiokosTM
LiveAquaria® ProtoPro contains BiokosTM, a natural molecule that is extracted from a Pseudomonas genus bacterium. BiokosTM “twists” the cellular membranes of protozoa, causing holes and compromising membrane integrity.

Convenient packaging
ProtoPro freshwater is available in two sizes:

• 8 tablet package. (15 gallons per tablet/120 gallons per box).
• (2) 8 tablet package. (15 gallons per tablet/120 gallons per box/240 gallons total).
• 16 tablet package. (15 gallons per tablet/240 gallons per box).

Tablets can be broken if needed. For aquariums 5-8 gallons, use half of a tablet.

Instructions for use
ProtoPro can be used in quarantine tanks if infected aquatic life can be isolated. If not possible, the dosing of the entire freshwater aquarium is possible.

Before starting to use ProtoPro, turn off protein skimmer and remove carbon filtration or any absorbent media (phosphate absorbents are okay). It is recommended to increase aeration in aquarium while using ProtoPro.

Before administering subsequent doses, replace 25% of the water prior to adding each dose. Dosing and water change frequency are dependent on water temperature. Refer to the tables below for instructions.

When dosing, drop tablets away from air stones or bubble wands to avoid a large accumulation of foam appearing on the water’s surface (some foam creation is expected).

Ichthyophthirius

Water Temperature	Dosing (per 15 gallons)
63-69°F / 17-20°C	1 tablet / week until all white spots disappear.
70-76°F / 21-24°C	1 tablet every other day until all white spots disappear.
77-82°F / 25-28°C	1 tablet / day until all white spots disappear.

ProtoPro is effective in resolving Ichthyophthirius in its free-swimming phases (after trophonts attached to the fish drop into the water). In case of heavy infestation (white spots remain on the fish), repeat dosing schedule until resolved.

Other Protozoa
For Ichthyobodo, Trichodina, Tetrahymena, Ambiphrya, and Chilodonella

Water Temperature	Dosing (per 15 gallons)
72-77°F / 22-25°C	1 tablet on day one.

In case of strong infestation, repeat dosing schedule until resolved.
Exercise caution when using for the first time or when using on a different species of fish than used on previously.
