So, they figured out how to use a quaternary ammonium product (disinfectant) safely with freshwater fish. It’s a safer version of Chloramine-T or “Halamid” which is available in Europe.
Basically what they do is complex the product with a clay, or carbonate. And as the clay / carbonate dissolves, it releases a little Lifeguard at a time. It can’t dissolve FASTER than it takes to get 20ppm of Lifeguard in the water, so there’s hardly any chance of overdose. Just follow instructions in the tank, or as a bath.

| You may dose this in the fish tank but it would probably be better to improve the fish tank water quality, filtration and temperature WHILE treating the fish in a separate facility.
But this can also be used as a several-hour bath. I like it for bathing fish when they can't be injected for logistical or size reasons. |
