BRONOPOL (2 - BROMO - 2 - NITROPROPANE - 1,3 - DIOL, PYCEZE TM [NOVARTIS ANIMAL
HEALTH])
Bronopol is a thiol-containing dehydrogenase enzyme inhibitor that is believed to cause cell membrane leakage. It was originally developed as a preservative for cosmetics, pharmaceuticals and industrial applications. In the relatively few fish species that have been studied (mainly salmonids), it has highly efficacious antioomycete activity, being similar to that of malachite green (Sudova et al. 2007). It is also safer to use on eggs than malachite green (larger and fewer abnormal fry). However, it should not be used in smolting Atlantic salmon or rainbow trout alevins.
The aquaculture brand Pyceze TM (50% [w/v] bronopol) is permitted by the European Union for treating water mold infections of salmonids and their ova under veterinary prescription. Pyceze TM contains 500 of mg bronopol per ml of inert carrier. It rapidly degrades, especially when exposed to high intensity ultraviolet light (e.g., UV sterilizers). It is approved in Norway, the Faroe Islands and Sweden. There is no withdrawal period.
Use No. 1 : Treatment of water mold infection on fish Water-borne formulations:
1. Bath
a. Add 1 ml Pyceze TM /25 liter (= 20 mg bronopol/l = 0.15 ml Pyceze TM /gallon), and treat for 30 minutes. Flow rates must be such that a complete exchange of the water is achieved in 60 minutes or less following the end of the treatment period. Repeat daily for up to 14 consecutive days.
This regimen has cured rainbow trout of water mold infection (Branson 2002 ; Bronopol Product Insert, Novartis).
Use No. 2 : Treatment of water mold infection on eggs
Water - borne formulations:
1. Bath
a. Add 0.1 ml Pyceze TM /liter (= 50 mg bronopol/liter = 0.38 ml Pyceze TM /gallon), and treat for 30 minutes daily, as necessary, beginning at 24 hours after fertilization (Bronopol Product Insert, Novartis). Flow rates to the incubator must be such that a complete exchange of the incubator water is achieved in 30 minutes or less following the end of the treatment period. If infected, repeat daily for 15 days.

I don't think it would be wise to use your DT as your QT. If they have ich, that'll just start the whole fallow process over.I have a question.
If your display tank is fishless and has been for over 73 days can you buy 6 fish from the same source and put them in your DT without fear? Can you treat the DT as a QT?
@Humblefish when will you consider the hybrid ttm a viable option3?
You mean, like reading my book.Once I've been able to test it thoroughly. In 2020 I'll have more free time to pour myself into H2O2 experimentation (including Hybrid TTM). But my hands are tied for the remainder of this year due to current obligations.
You mean, like reading my book.![]()
So I have a dilemma. I have one fish in qt being treated for ich and about half way through treatment. I have another fish in my display tank that is now showing signs of ich. Can I put him in the qt tank with the other fish or would feeding the DT with Metro and Focus be sufficient?
And your display will need to go fallow for 76-80 days to kill off the ich in there.So I have a dilemma. I have one fish in qt being treated for ich and about half way through treatment.

I’m using Paraguard. Also treating with Dr.G’s food for internal parasites.
I am not familiar with Paraguard. On the website it states it works similar to formaldehyde. This could be effective, but formaldehyde is toxic to most living things, so...
