Yes.

use the full dosage or reduce it for the clown loaches? also here are the


Full dose. Maracide is safe for all fish and shrimp and snails.

Will everyone else be ok with this med? Also, what does raising the temp

They should be fine. Scaleless fish are the most sensitive to medications.
Raising the temperature increases the metabolic cycle of the ich parasite,
thus rendering it vulnerable to the medication faster. This allows you to
treat for 5 days only.
