We suppose it was only a matter of time before a “herbal” additive was made for our marine aquariums. Although we haven’t tried this new product called Herbtana, it advertised to reduce: “skin flukes(gyrodactylus), gill flukes (Dactylogyrus), Ich(ichthyophthirius multifillis), oodinum, costia (ichthyobodonecater), chilonella and trichodina. Parasite infections are characterized by symptoms, such as: milky skin, flashing and heavy breathing.” Like most of you are aware parasites are always present in fish and it is up to the immune system to fight these off, but when stress does happen these symptoms pop up. Herbtana supports the fish’s immune system with dealing with excess parasites, forcing them off the fish and in effect starving them with lack of a host. A bottle of the stuff will run you (4oz) about $8.

What about API’s Melafix and Pimafix? I believe they are natural extracts and “herbal” in nature.

I am trying this product after several breakouts of ich in my marine tank. I have been treating for three days in a 55 gallon tank with one angel fish in this tank. I have not noticed re-infection after three days but will continue this treatment for the 10 day recommendation. After which I will post the results.
yeah it sounds like something worth trying, except knowone in the industry seems to carry this stuff, and the company that makes it, specializes in ponds and hasnt put alot into marketing this to the aquarium industry ,so knowone knows what it is. I contacted the company and they told me to go to retailer, however the only retailers are garden centers and they dont order these products and have no desire to. Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Finally, got this product and tried it,within days the ich outbreak was stopped in its tracks.All of the fish in my tank imediatly improved and the coral and anemones in the tank showed no negative reaction to this product.This is unlike any product I’ve ever used.It does’nt smell like peppers and almost has a industrial cleaner like odor. So far it lived up to its claim.The company has a fantastic reputation for pond products(which I can personally vouch for)and no, I dont work for the company.
