- In the food: 10 ml in a tablespoon, twice a day, for 3 days in a row.
- What it is safe for: plants, corals and invertebrates.
- To remove from the filter: activated carbon, ion-exchange resins and zeolites.

- Shipping: bottle sent by tracked parcel from France.
Care for the gills and digestive tract, in the water or in the food
This treatment targets the two organs through which most of a fish's exchanges with its environment take place: the gills, through which oxygen passes, and the digestive tract, through which food passes. Preis Carely is made from plant-based raw materials, can be used in freshwater and seawater, and is safe for plants, corals and invertebrates. You can therefore pour it straight into your main aquarium, without setting up a hospital tank and without moving a fish that is already weakened.
📆 A 9-day protocol
The in-water protocol is not given all in one go. You pour in 15 ml per 100 litres on the first day, the same dose on the second, then you add nothing for 5 days. The eighth and ninth days repeat the same dose, and this repeat belongs to the same treatment. Calculate your dose on the actual volume of water in your tank, with decor and substrate deducted, and note down the four dates before you begin.
Days 1 and 2
Pour every 100 litres of water, pour in 15 ml, on 2 days in a row.
Days 3 to 7
The product stays in the water with no further dosing for 5 days.
Days 8 and 9
Dose another 15 ml per 100 litres, 2 days running.
Measure the ammonium and nitrite before treating
A fish breathing rapidly at the surface may be suffering from gill problems, but also from water loaded with ammonia or nitrite. So carry out a nitrite drop test and an ammonium drop test before the first day of the protocol. If either one is positive, a water change takes priority over the treatment, and you avoid treating a symptom whose cause remains in the tank.
Remove carbon, resins and zeolites from the filter
Remove the activated carbon, ion-exchange resins and zeolites before you begin, as these three media capture the product before it reaches the fish. The protein skimmer, the UV and the biological filtration or mechanical filtration stay in service throughout the protocol. The product is for use in ornamental fish aquariums, freshwater or marine, and never on a system whose fish are intended for consumption.
🍽️ The food route
The second route goes through the food: you let 10 ml soak into about a tablespoon of food for a few minutes, then feed it, twice a day, for 3 days in a row. It concentrates the action on the digestive tract instead of diluting it throughout the tank, which makes it worthwhile when a fish is still eating but losing weight. It assumes your fish is feeding, since a fish that refuses all food can only be reached through the water: so watch a full feed before choosing your route. If your fish is eating normally and shows no symptoms, use a maintenance tonic rather than a treatment.
🐠 The fish concerned
The treatment is intended for ornamental fish, and in particular for discus, Lake Malawi cichlids and newly acquired or imported fish, which transport and the change of water leave weakened. For these, as for your most sensitive fish, the two routes can be combined: the in-water protocol for the gills, and the soaked food for the digestive tract. However, give new arrivals time to settle into stable water before you begin.
🧴 250 ml or 1 litre
The full in-water protocol uses 60 ml per 100 litres, that is, 4 days of dosing at 15 ml. If your tank holds 240 actual litres, allow 36 ml per dosing day and 144 ml for the whole course, which the 250 ml bottle covers with some to spare. That same bottle is enough for a full protocol up to about 400 litres, whereas the food route uses only 60 ml per 3-day course. The 1 litre bottle is worthwhile above 400 litres, across several tanks, or for a breeder who regularly treats new arrivals: it covers a full protocol for about 1,600 litres.

Two bottles for two different situations
One is for a fish that is unwell, the other for water that has just been changed. Look at the fish first.
A fish that is unwell calls for a different response from a tank you have just changed
Both bottles are for use with fish, but not at the same stage of their lives.
