BaoBio FinMed is a topical treatment for treatment of infected fins. Infections of fins are normally caused by mechanical damage (netting injury), bacteria and/ or fungi. Bacterial infection of fins results in bacterial fin rot, and the wound is then also opportunistically colonised by fungi such as Sprolegnia spp. Lesions on fins are unique and require novel methods of treatment in comparison to other topical wounds on the body. BaoBio FinMed is designed specifically for fin treatment and will result in rapid healing of fin damage.

• A new generation topical treatment for fish fins.
• Designed to be used by the hobbyist.
• Effective against bacterial lesions on fins.
• Effective against fungal infection on fins.
• Aids repair and healing of split or torn fins.

The product is packaged in kit form and is comprised of two mixtures. The first solution is used as a bath to wash the infected area. This results in localised oxidation of the infection site, thus cleaning and disinfecting the wound. The second solution serves as a fluid plaster, which results in rapid healing of the wound. Treatment using BaoBio FinMed will sanitise the wound and prevent the proliferation of bacteria and fungi while speedily promoting the repair and re-growth of tissue. The product is formulated using high-grade ingredients and has been tested for many years.

The application of the bath solution is directed to the site of infection through use of a nozzled dropper bottle, and the coating solution is simply painted on thereafter. The treatment is easily performed by the average hobbyist. The fish is anaesthetised in a bath or vat and removed onto a moist working mat. The wound is blotted dry using an absorbent paper pad. Damaged fin ends may be trimmed if necessary. BaoBio FinMed 1 is generously dropped onto the infection site, ensuring that the entire wound has been disinfected. After 1 minute, BaoBio FinMed 2 is painted onto the infected area and allowed to dry. Drying time can be minimised by assisted positive air-drying. Once the wound is dry to the touch, the fish can be returned to water. Healing will be noticeable within 5 days. Repeat the application of BaoBio FinMed 2 every 7 days until the fin has been repaired. Badly split fins may require suturing of the fin rays to speed the healing process. BaoBio FinMed 2 can be used to coat the line of suture.

BaoBio FinMed has also been designed, such that the average koi keeper can successfully complete the treatment. The product comprises a kit containing 15ml BaoBio FinMed 1 bath solution in an amber dropper bottle and 8ml of BaoBio FinMed 2 in a brush bottle.

BaoBio Koi is a highly innovative new product that has been designed to encompass multiple beneficial effects in one product for use in koi ponds. The product is formulated containing naturally occurring beneficial bacteria and food grade ingredients. BaoBio Koi enhances water quality and fish health and is specifically designed for use in ornamental koi ponds.

The product has the following key effects:

• Reduces pathogen load and the occurrence of ulcer disease
• Reduces ammonia levels
• Reduces nitrite levels
• Reduces nitrate levels
• Reduces phosphate levels
• Reduces other organic wastes such as organic carbon
• Improves water clarity

The bacterial consortium contained in BaoBio Koi reduces the concentration of pathogenic disease causing bacteria, such as Aeromonas spp and Pseudomonas spp. in pond water. This results in a prophylactic effect against ulcer disease of koi. BaoBio Koi further enhances water quality by reduction in the concentration of various waste metabolites. These two effects synergistically improve fish health, resulting in improved appetite and growth rate of fish, while ensuring a biologically stable pond system. The product also reduces sludge build-up in the pond system, and results in enhanced flow rate and performance of both mechanical and biological filter stages.

• Contains naturally occurring bacteria.
• Prevents the occurrence of bacterial ulcers on koi.
• Reduces ammonia, nitrite, nitrate & phosphate.
• Degrades other organic and inorganic wastes.
• Works across complete ranges of pH, hardness, salinity and temperature.
• Stable and does not require refrigeration.

BaoBio Koi is available in a kit form containing two types of tablets (BaoBio Koi 1 and BaoBio Koi 2), each one containing unique properties to ensure superior biological effects. Each tablet is dosed at a rate of 1 tablet per 10m3, alternating between BaoBio Koi 1 and BaoBio Koi 2 once weekly. The product can be optionally activated, by adding the required number of tablets to 1 litre of tap water and aerating for 12 – 18 hours before adding to the pond or filter water.

BaoBio Koi is perfectly safe and the dosage can be increased as desired, without detriment to any living organisms, including plants. The product is stable at ambient temperature, and the proprietary formulation technology ensures high levels of activity for storage periods of up to 2 years.

BaoBio Koi is produced through a unique process to ensure affordability, such that the product can be used as a prophylactic throughout the year. BaoBio Koi is functional across the physiological range of survival for koi regarding environmental temperature, pH, salinity and water hardness.
