ESHA Hexamita 20ml Hole in the Head Medicine

eSHa HEXAMITA is a specialist freshwater aquarium fish treatment developed for discus disease, also known as hole-in-the-head disease. It is specially formulated for cichlids and works well for discus and angelfish, while also being suitable for many tropical and coldwater freshwater fish.

This treatment helps fight Hexamita-related disease organisms and symptoms such as loss of appetite, darkened colour, white stringy faeces, enlarged sensory pores, head lesions, body holes, skin decay, and wasting symptoms. It is useful when fish show signs of internal parasite infection or hole-in-the-head disease.

The eSHa HEXAMITA treatment is designed as a standard 3-day dose and can be used preventively when needed. It is well tolerated by fish, aquarium plants, and biological filters when used correctly. Always read the official leaflet before use, calculate the correct dosage based on actual aquarium water volume, and remove activated carbon, UV lights, oxidisers, and resins during treatment.
