Acriflavine Hydrochloride is an antiseptic and antibiotic substance that is commonly used in aquariums and aquaculture to treat a variety of fish diseases. It is a yellow or orange powder that is soluble in water and alcohol. In aquariums, Acriflavine Hydrochloride is often used to treat bacterial and fungal infections in fish, such as fin rot, tail rot, and mouth rot. It can be added to the water in the form of a solution, or it can be applied topically as a cream or ointment.

This is particularly useful in the case of fish that have been injured during breeding or transportation.
