Questions & Answers

It's Popeye's day for my Betta. This is a new piece of equipment that I have no idea how to use. What kind of food paste should I use for it? I saw it says to use frozen paste. Could you tell me how I can purchase it?

This is what the manufacturer suggests. The KanaPlex* medication is a blend of kanamycin-based medicines used to safely and effectively treat various fungal, and bacterial fish diseases (dropsy, popeye, fin rot, and Fish will absorb it, so in cases where their food has been refused it can be used in treatments of internal infections. As a result, it has no adverse effect on the filter bed and is easily taken out of the system In fish tanks that contain invertebrates, it is excellent for treating bacterial infections as an ingredient in a medicated food mix. It can be used in either freshwater or marine aquariums. This document describes the types of infections treated by KanaPlex fungal, bacterial, and viral * Directions* Dosing in water*br>Remove all invertebrates before using this medication. There is a high sensitivity to medications for these. Remove chemical filters such as MatrixCarbon* and Purigen*, and turn off UV filters and ozone filters. For every 20 L (5 gallons) of liquid, use 1 measure (included). You can repeat this dosage every 48 hours to a maximum of three times. If a severe infection occurs, it may be necessary to treat it twice at the same time Back to you. A second round of feeding should only be done if the fish show no signs of stress at the end of the first.

It is safe to store this medicated food either in the refrigerator or freezer 1 scoop KanaPlex*, 1 scoop Focus**, 1 tbsp food (preferably pellets/frozen food)*, 3-4 drops of water if using a dry food, or GarlicGuard* or Entice* to enhance palatability. In the event that you choose to remove MetroPlex* after the treatment period ends, activated filter carbon, such as MatrixCarbon*, can be utilized. The substance does not remain in the tank's substrate or filter media.

Could anyone tell me how many vials I need to order for a 55 gallon tank to use a full course of treatment? What would you like to thank me for?

You can reach out to Seachem. It is not clear to me how the breakdown was done. There is no need to have more than two. I really like this

What is this? Kanaplex (pack of 2) or Metroplex? It shows kanaplex on the pic, but it says metroplex in the description? Where does it come from?

There is an error in the description, but Amazon does not correct There was no modification made to the listing except a verbatim copy. There are two jars of Kanaplex in this picture.

The amount of treatment per vial is how many gallons? Would you mind if I asked you how much my 300 gallon tank holds?

Accordingly, you would probably require more than one vial per 5 gallons of liquid. The level measure (included with the product) is one level measure per 5 gallons.

Please read the following information carefully
5/5

As a first point, you are not shorted on this medicine. In the end of the bottle, there is not much left. I have been buying it for years now. Because it's difficult to get to, I put it in an old medicine bottle so that I can access it more conveniently. Before you drink the water, check that it is clean. Adding that thing to my account was a mistake I made and I lost money. Adding poison to an already poisoned body of water is like adding poison to poison. All of this being said, let me bring you back to reality. Several times I have used this stuff to save fish. There's no question about it. In the fish world, there aren't many antibiotics for internal use. This is *A. If you are not sure where your parameters are, let them stand for a few days to ensure they are consistent. I. *br. Make sure you have an old medication bottle handy to transfer the medication to. I. C. Please make sure your carbon is old (2 weeks or older) if you are leaving it in your filtration system. An overstocked tank makes it necessary for me to do so. If you have an ultraviolet light on your canister, turn it off. A. *in D. Ensure that the measurement is exact. Thank you for reading this. If you're reading this, please accept my deepest sympathy for your loss or issues. I wish you the best.

This antibiotic is very effective on Bettas! Whenever I need anything, I look here It's time to switch to better In addition to Melafix and other supplements, I use this Every time my fish get sick, I treat my tank with Pimafix
5/5

Bettas that I have kept since then have been saved from columnaris, fin rot, septicemia, and more A dropsy day! The reason why I use the combination of products is due to my research showing that many fish illnesses are related The problem must be viewed from several different perspectives. A minimum of 1/2 of the water is changed at the end of every treatment. There are three Betta fish in my aquarium right now I am 4 years old & I am 2 years old This stuff works since they are all healthy now after having survived multiple illnesses in that time!.

There are only a few Hillstream Loaches/ Butterfly Loaches left in the world
5/5

Several of my loaches have been afflicted with wasting disease, also known as fish TB, which is incurable in most cases. I tried everything from Pimafix/Melafix to Api general cure, but my symptoms did not improve. Almost a year ago, I started getting treatment and stopped. The plan was to euthanize them using clove oil for two hours then, with the gray goose for two hours after that. As of the morning of doing it, it was day 4 of this treatment, and I can see progress A lot of fun is being had by all. In fact, their skinny stomachs have even started to return An internal parasite infection had also occurred alongside a bacterial infection in their bodies. The dosage I used was more than 1/3 of the recommended amount. Catfish with scaleless skin can safely ingest this product.

I treated a severe case of This is the first time I have purchased a product that wasn't sure if it would be the right one for the issue my fish was experiencing
5/5

However, after reading some reviews and getting a better grasp of the description, I decided this would be worth a try. I was concerned that Popeye's eye would eventually rupture and fall out of his head because of the gradual deterioration of his condition. He has seen substantial improvement in his eye after taking the recommended 3 doses! My understanding is that he lost his sight due to the medication yet this has nothing to do with it. As my fish had initially injured his eye, and as he did not appear to have any bacteria, I wasn't sure if this would work. He had a really bad eye, so I decided to give it a try. It worked great! My appreciation is sincere, and I'm sure his is as well. In any case, if you are wondering whether you should get this because your fish has Popeye, then you should get We promise you won't be sorry you did.

It takes the clownfish a while to recover
5/5

A Clownfish recently became ill in my daughter's aquarium. The fish was on the bottom of the tank struggling to stay upright and appeared to be struggling to breathe, too. It could have been Ick, but there were no external signs, so I did not take any action. Because I had nothing to lose, I decided to treat the tank the next morning with Copper Safe and Pimafix. Toward the end of the evening, he was able to get up off the substrate for a few bursts of time. A positive change was evident. Although he was still hungry, he was not eating yet. My heart sank when I read that. Therefore, I felt that his internal health should also be treated. I don't know if it's hurting him. Maybe he has an infection! A definitive answer was difficult to come by. Kanaplex has been added by mixing it into the food first, then I added the other portion spoon directly to the On the morning of the following day, he was up and swimming like usual and taking in food gingerly. After two days, I dosed the tank an additional time with Kanaplex to ensure I had no unforeseen effects. As well as Pimafix, I continued to administer it daily For Copper Safe, a month is supposed to be enough. The quick recovery of this boy was attributable to providing medical assistance as soon as possible, but the Kanaplex is basically what turned his life around. In his tank with his other tankmates, he is still doing well. In case you're wondering, they were all medicated during their stay in the same tank, and they are all doing fine now. Thanks,.

Freshwater aquarium keepers should not be without this essential item
5/5

Kanaplex has been my go-to aquarium product for most of the last 20 years of keeping aquariums. I find this product to be an excellent antibacterial product, and it is easy to use and relatively difficult to overdose, as both the box and tubes clearly make the use instructions clear. It takes a little to make a big difference. As a result of Kanaplex, I've saved a lot of fish in the past. With respect to results, I have always been pleased.

It is a great medication, but the scoop and container are poorly designed
4/5

A bacterial infection such as fine rot can be treated effectively with this stuff. There is only one thing I don't like about it The container works great when it's full, but approaching the bottom is tough. I have to pour the liquid into a second container in order to get anything out. Trying to figure out whether it's just a poor design or if I am just having trouble figuring out the scooper's function. Since the bottle is round and the lid is one part of the scoop, there is nothing to flatten the scoop down.

A very happy birthday to you, Fish! I used this product with some furan 2 and it worked in conjunction to stop fin rot within just a few days and started the healing process for the gram positive/negative infections responsible for a few fish suffering from illness
5/5

We tried other remedies without success, and then after conducting some further research, found this to be one of the few medicines that were truly effective for treating a wide range This product is highly recommended once you find out what symptoms your fish have, gram positive/negative, and follow the set instructions for administering it. I would also suggest that you separate your sick fish from the rest of your aquarium community and place them in a Fish with internal illness are likely not to have a great appetite, so feed sparingly and mix them with medication to combat them. You and your aquarium friends have a great day.
