Among the symptoms in fish for which Tetra Contralck is prescribed, it is worth highlighting the most common:
- rapid breathing;
- deterioration of appetite or complete loss of it;
- increased aggressiveness;
- fin clumping ;
- itching of the skin (the sick fish begins to rub against various objects);
- darkening of the mucous membranes;
- severe bloating;
- the appearance of white spots on the surface of the fins or throughout the body.
Symptoms of some aquarium fish diseases
Important ! All these signs can manifest themselves in various diseases, so before using medications it is necessary to determine an accurate diagnosis.

Directions for use: Add 2.5 ml per 20 liters of aquarium water once a week.
Packaging form: 250 ml
Features of application
You need to start a therapeutic course immediately after identifying the disease in fish. If they have been diagnosed with ichthyophthyriosis , then treatment must be carried out directly in the aquarium with fish in order to protect other inhabitants from pathogens. If after several days of treatment no positive changes are observed in the condition of the sick fish, then the water in the tank must be filtered and the course of treatment repeated.
Ichthyophthiriasis in aquarium fish
If even several treatment cycles do not help to improve the condition of the sick fish, then consultation with a specialist is required. If necessary, Tetra Contralck can be combined with other Tetra products. This will enhance the effect of the active substance of the drug and increase the effectiveness of treatment. During this period, you need to monitor the fish especially carefully, noticing the slightest changes in their condition or behavior.

Official clarifications from Tetra :
Tetra PlantaMin fertilizer does not cause algae outbreaks as it contains no nitrates or phosphates.
As for daily use, this does not make much sense, since iron applied even once a month remains available throughout this time (or rather, until it is consumed by the plants). Of course, it is also possible for organisms to use this iron “inappropriately,” but in any case, it makes sense to apply it daily only with very rapid plant growth, when in 1 day the iron concentration decreases by 50-100% relative to the concentration after applying the fertilizer.
You can control the iron content in water using Tetra Fe-Test - an iron test. The recommended iron concentration is 0.5-1.0 mg/l.
For most cases (that is, to solve the most common problems due to lack of microelements), the composition of Tetra PlantaMin is optimal. Naturally, if your goal is to achieve the fastest possible growth, you use CO2, install metal halide lamps, and the planting density is such that there is not a single place in the aquarium where the back mesh is visible - perhaps the scheme for applying fertilizer (or fertilizers) may be different than what is described on the label. It is very likely that phosphorus and nitrogen will be needed. But in the vast majority of cases this is not the case, and the proposed scheme is optimal. Fortunately, modern means of communication (the Internet) allow anyone to get acquainted with other people's experiences and draw their own conclusions. In the aquarium that we have in one of our offices, Tetra PlantaMin is very effective in solving chlorosis problems in Echinodorus leaves when they arise (although Echinodorus is not its main target audience).”
Conclusions: Discussions about the effectiveness of this or that fertilizer are already really exhausting. First of all, ask yourself a question - why am I using this fertilizer, what do I want to get in the end, what kind of aquarium do I have, is there biological balance in it, is there enough lighting for my plants... and everything will fall into place.
Tetra PlantaMin fertilizer is a good fertilizer, but it must be used wisely. There is no need to complain that after applying fertilizer your threads are “swamped”. A question for you: how do you look after your aquarium, have you calculated the dosage correctly!
Personally, I apply Tetra Planta Min 2-3 times a week, I have dense, lush herbs and have never had an algae problem.
It is also worth noting that algae spores are always present in the aquarium and there is no need to fight them; they need to be suppressed. And the best way is to set up a sustainable biobalance!
