Acriflavine Neutral is a preventative and treatment for the control of Oodinfium (Velvet) in freshwater and marine fishes. It has a long history of usefulness for the control of fish diseases. Acriflavine Neutral is useful for fish egg disinfection, treatment of open wounds, and external protozoan infections, mouth and fin rot. The drug is effective in the control of the bacterial infection "columnaris" (Flexibacter columnaris). Acriflavine may also be considered as an alternative to Malachite Green when it is known that a certain species of fish may be sensitive to Malachite Green.
