Clout is very hard on fish, especially if you overdose

Clout is very hard on your fish and can kill your fish if it is already really sick or if you overdose. It can cause inflammation in the body and especially in the eyes and actually cause pop "eye" Always dose with the exact amount of gallons in your tank and not what it is advertised as. And don't forget to subtract for sand, rocks, ornamentals and anything else that would take up your water space. There have been rumors of it being able to cure internal parasites, but on the label they only mention external parasites. Based on my research, the first ingredient,

N-(4-((4-(DIMETHYLAMINO)PHENYL) PHENYLMETHYLENE)-2,5-CYCLOHEXADIENE-1- YLIDENE)-N-METHYL-CHLORIDE

is Malachite Green disguised under a complicated chemical formula name. No wonder Clout stains the water green.

The other two ingredients are Trichlorofon Organophosphate and nitroimidazole (Metronadazole), both for treating internal parasites.

Trichlorfon is an insecticide. So you use it against multicellular parasites: skin and gill flukes. Like all organophosphates, it's very toxic to fish too.

One trick is to do the medicating in a separate bucket. Better than just doing a 50% water change. The first blast of organophosphate eliminates the flatworm parasites. They fall off and are in the water. Then you want to minimize the effect on the fish and get it out of that water pronto. A second short-term bath might be needed.

Clout just added in the tank as a long-term bath isn't so good. Very stressful for the fish.

BTW, AmQuel will detoxify formalin/malachite green. Will it bind to organophosphates too I'd like to know?

Mixed opinion:/

Followed directions perfectly . Reduced archor worms but didnt cure . Medicine killed 3 goldfish who were healthy . Water parameters always spot on no other issues . So i can say its a 50/50 shot. Use the medicine as a last resort and carefully. The tank switch method ultimately with the medicine is what worked. Would be good for hospital tank scenarios not display tank. In my opinionRead full review

Clout Effectiveness

Highly recommend Clout, I had an out break of Anchor worms with some fish and others where breathing hard, stringy feces, white mucus on their heads. After one full dose and half dose two days later cured both problems.
However it should not be used with Kullii loaches. 4 out of 5 loaches did not survive the treatment.

You can always count on clout for internal parasites for the tropical fish hobby. it works better than other because they don't have to eat it for it to work!
