MALACHITE GREEN helps for TREATMENT of DISEASES in FISH

Saprolegnia parasitica is a rapidly spreading and fatal fungal parasite affecting both fish and fish eggs. It is conventionally treated with MALACHITE GREEN  (diamino-triphenylmethane), but though this treatment is highly effective, the use of malachite green carries with it a number of potential problems: the compound has been suggested as a possible carcinogen and teratogen, though these effects are as yet unproven; being a strong dye, it tends to discolour water, and can under certain conditions cause staining of fish which have been treated; it has a relatively long withholding period, so that significant residues can be present in treated fish when they are harvested and sold for consumption.
