What sets Aquatic Remedies apart from most aquarium brands available in India is clear. Every product is developed and manufactured right here in India. The founders set their intention plainly. Their goal is to provide quality products and not the cheapest ones. Every batch uses raw materials with a purity of more than 99.8 percent. Microbiological grade Millipore water is used as the diluent in all liquid formulations. Not a single Aquatic Remedies product contains any antibiotic or hazardous chemical of any kind.

A Brand Trusted by the World’s Biggest Aquariums

Aquatic Remedies is not just a hobbyist product. The brand has earned recognition at the highest professional level in the aquarium world.

In 2007, Aquatic Remedies began supplying private labelled products to customers in Europe. In 2008, the company started producing beneficial bacteria for public aquaria, aquaculture facilities and waste water treatment plants. That same year, Aquatic Remedies supplied and successfully seeded beneficial bacteria for the Dubai Mall Aquarium under the commissioning of Aquionics Sdn Bhd. At the time the Dubai Mall Aquarium was the world’s biggest marine aquarium.

This is a remarkable achievement for any Indian brand. The biological seeding of a public aquarium at that scale requires the highest levels of product purity, bacterial viability and scientific precision. Aquatic Remedies delivered all of this and earned a strong international reputation in the process.

Aquatic Remedies Products at Ocean Paws

Ocean Paws stocks a carefully chosen range of Aquatic Remedies products covering the four most important areas of aquarium care. These areas are water conditioning, biological filtration, fish health treatment and planted aquarium support. Every product we carry is genuine Aquatic Remedies stock sourced from authorised distributors.

Water Conditioners and Ammonia Control

Good water quality starts with removing the invisible threats in your tap water and your tank water.

Aquatic Remedies Stress Heal is an all natural water conditioner that does several jobs at once. It neutralises chlorine and chloramine in tap water instantly. It also removes heavy metal toxins that municipal water supplies often carry. Herbal extracts in the formula reduce the stress that fish experience during transport, handling and tank transfers. The product also coats the scales and fins of your fish to protect against minor abrasions and injuries during introduction to a new tank.

Aquatic Remedies Chlor Away is a dedicated chlorine and chloramine remover for freshwater and saltwater systems. Every time you add tap water to your aquarium during a water change you risk exposing your fish to chlorine. Even small amounts of chlorine can damage the gills of fish and kill the beneficial bacteria inside your filter. Chlor Away removes this risk instantly before the water enters your tank.

Aquatic Remedies Amozeal is a fast acting ammonia remover that works across freshwater, planted and marine aquariums. Ammonia is the number one killer of fish in home aquariums. It builds up from fish waste, uneaten food and decaying organic matter. Even low levels cause serious gill damage and immune suppression in fish. Amozeal brings ammonia down quickly while your biological filter handles the long term biological breakdown.

Beneficial Bacteria and Biological Filtration

Aquatic Remedies Microlife S2 is the brand’s flagship beneficial bacteria product. It contains a live suspension of Nitrosomonas and Nitrobacter bacteria in liquid form. These are the two bacterial species responsible for the nitrogen cycle in every healthy aquarium. Nitrosomonas converts toxic ammonia to nitrite. Nitrobacter then converts nitrite to the far less harmful nitrate.

Adding Microlife S2 when setting up a new aquarium cuts the cycling time down very significantly. It also restores bacterial populations after antibiotic treatment, after a thorough filter cleaning or after a large water change that disturbs the established bacterial colony. Microlife S2 works in both freshwater and saltwater aquariums and adapts readily to the temperature and water chemistry of your specific tank.

Aquatic Remedies Ceramic Housing Media Nano Taro Roll and the X-Lone Filter Media provide dedicated housing for beneficial bacteria inside your filter. These media offer a high surface area for bacterial colonisation. More surface area means a larger bacterial colony. A larger bacterial colony means faster and more complete breakdown of ammonia and nitrite in your tank water at all times.

Fish Medicines and Health Treatments

Aquatic Remedies produces India’s most complete range of aquarium fish medicines. All formulations are free from antibiotics and hazardous chemicals. This matters greatly in a home aquarium environment where children and pets are regularly present around the tank.

Aquatic Remedies Bactonil FW is a broad spectrum antibacterial treatment for freshwater fish. It is effective against skin discoloration, ulcerous wounds, fin rot, mouth fungus and dropsy. The dosage is ten millilitres per fifty litres of aquarium water. Bactonil FW shows a visible improvement in the condition of affected fish within twelve hours of the first treatment dose.

Aquatic Remedies Paracidol is a copper based antiparasitic treatment for freshwater aquariums. It is effective against white spot commonly known as Ich, anchor worm, fish lice, gill flukes and other free swimming external parasites. The dosage is five millilitres per twenty five litres. Paracidol should be used in a separate hospital tank wherever possible to protect sensitive invertebrates and live plants.

Aquatic Remedies General Cure is a broader treatment effective against fungal, bacterial and parasitic infections together. It is the right product to reach for when the exact cause of a fish illness is not yet clear. Many common aquarium fish diseases show similar visible symptoms in their early stages. General Cure addresses the most likely causes at the same time so treatment can begin immediately without waiting for a precise diagnosis.

Aquatic Remedies Aquaria Clear is a water clarifier that removes suspended particles and cloudiness from aquarium water. It works without harming fish, plants or the beneficial bacteria in your filter. Clear water is not just attractive to look at. It also allows light to reach aquatic plants more effectively and gives fish better visual orientation in their environment.

Planted Aquarium Products

Aquatic Remedies produces a growing range of products designed specifically for planted aquarium keepers.

Aquatic Remedies K++ provides potassium supplementation for planted tanks. Potassium is one of the three primary macronutrients that aquatic plants need for healthy growth. Most general aquarium fertilisers underdeliver on potassium relative to what fast growing plants consume. Yellowing and pinholes in the older leaves of an otherwise healthy planted tank is often the first visible sign of potassium deficiency. Regular dosing of K++ prevents this and keeps plant leaves vibrant and intact.

Aquatic Remedies Phyto Carb is a liquid carbon supplement for planted aquariums. It provides a source of organic carbon that aquatic plants absorb through their leaves and stems. This makes Phyto Carb a practical option for planted tank keepers who do not use a pressurised CO2 system. Regular dosing supports faster plant growth and helps control nuisance algae by giving your plants a clear competitive advantage over algae in the tank.

Why Indian Hobbyists Choose Aquatic Remedies

Aquatic Remedies is made in India by scientists who understand Indian water chemistry deeply. Municipal tap water in Indian cities often contains chloramine rather than just chlorine. Chloramine is significantly more difficult to remove than chlorine and many imported water conditioners do not address it effectively. Aquatic Remedies formulates its water conditioners with Indian tap water chemistry in mind. This practical knowledge of local water conditions is something most imported aquarium brands simply cannot offer.

At Ocean Paws we stock genuine Aquatic Remedies products sourced directly from authorised distributors. We ship pan India from our store in Hyderabad with orders dispatched within one to three business days. Whether you are treating a sick fish, cycling a new tank, maintaining your filter or growing a planted aquascape, Aquatic Remedies gives you professional grade science in every bottle at a price that works for every Indian hobbyist.

A full treatment course should always be completed as directed on the label even if the fish appears to recover sooner.

Is Aquatic Remedies an Indian brand?

Yes. Aquatic Remedies is a proudly Indian brand manufactured in Chennai, Tamil Nadu by Fisheries Science graduates. All products are made in India using high purity raw materials. The brand exports to seven countries and has supplied beneficial bacteria to international public aquariums including the Dubai Mall Aquarium which was the world’s biggest marine aquarium at the time of commissioning.

How do I use Aquatic Remedies Microlife S2 in a new aquarium?

Add Microlife S2 directly to your aquarium or sump on the day you set up your tank. Repeat the dose every two days for the first week. This seeds your filter media with live beneficial bacteria and significantly reduces the time needed for the nitrogen cycle to establish and stabilise. For best results use Microlife S2 alongside an ammonia source such as a small amount of fish food to feed the growing bacterial colony during the cycling process.
