Description

Please note that the product information displayed is provided by manufacturers, suppliers and other third parties and is not independently verified by Petco.

Tetra Lifeguard is a broad-spectrum, non-antibiotic agent treats the clinical signs of disease at their earliest stages in freshwater fish. You don't have to be a fish expert to use Lifeguard. With this all-in-one treatment, there's no need for time-consuming guesswork. Each pre-measured Fizz Tab dose treats for disease-causing organisms associated with fungus, ick, red streaks, milky or shedding slime, flukes, bacterial gill disease, mouth and fin rot, clamped or torn fins, and ulcers. Tetra Lifeguard can also be used as a preventive when adding new fish. To treat, leave filter system operating normally; remove filter carbon for the duration of treatment. Turn off UV sterilizer if present. Add one tablet per day to each 5 gallons (19 L) of aquarium water. Treat for five consecutive days, at 24-hour intervals. For best results, after five-day treatment, wait another 24 hours (day 6) before returning activated carbon and turning on UV sterilizer.

  • - Broad spectrum formula: Non-antibiotic agent destroys a wide range of disease-causing microorganisms.
  • - Treats: Controls disease-causing organisms associated with white spot (ick), red streaks, milky or shedding slime, mouth and fin rot, clamped or torn fins and ulcers.
  • - Fizz tabs: Convenient, pre-measured tablets make caring for your aquarium easy - there's no guesswork.
  • - 5-day course: Treat for 5 consecutive days at 24-hour intervals as instructed.
  • - Usage: Add one tablet per day to each 5 gallons of aquarium water.

Had a horrible ich outbreak in my angelfish tank & this product worked great! I removed the carbon from my filters, increased my tank temperature and lifeguard did the rest. No loss and my angels are healthier than ever!

Yes, I recommend this product.

DO NOT USE

my tank had gotten ick, and i was recommended to use this. they said to take the filter cartridge and to place the tablet in there once every 24 hours, and it would do its job. well it DIDN'T. ALL my fish died from ick because this medication is terrible. if you're fish are sick, find something that works

No, I do not recommend this product.

bought it to treat parasites. Went through two packages of this brand and no effect. My fish died in the end. When life depends on it, i would go elsewhere the next time.

No, I do not recommend this product.

Helped with anchor worm

MenagerieMania

I had two new goldfish in my tank when I noticed one had an anchor worm infestation -- three worms developed in less than a week. I started using Lifeguard to treat my tank in combination with API Aquarium Salt. The Lifeguard treatment did the trick; within 5 days, the worms were dead. One fell off on its own, and I tweezed the other two just because they had gotten so big that they were hindering my fish's fins. My infected fish healed rapidly and never developed any secondary infections, and my second fish never showed any signs of anchor worm. This is a great, easy-to-use product that I plan on keeping on-hand if any other parasites or infections hit my tank.

Yes, I recommend this product.
