Q: Can KanaPlex be used at the same time in the same tank with Cupramine?
A: Although it is not recommended to mix medications, it is generally safe to use these two products in conjunction with one another as long as you have a well established biological filter. If you notice a white cloudy haze to the aquarium (bacteria bloom), I would recommend you add a power head or air stone to the aquarium to give your biological filter the oxygen it needs to colonize your aquarium. Generally, this is only noticed in an aquarium with a poorly established biological filter.
Q: Is this medication safe within a reef environment?
A: Officially we
can not recommend any medication as being safe for a reef environment
simply because there is no way to certify that a particular medication will
be safe with the numerous reef creatures that could populate a given a tank.
We recommend the use of a hospital tank as the best solution to
treating disease and preventing disease in the main tank.
However, with that said, if you had no other choice and wanted
to try this, at your own risk, it would not be expected that there
would be any extreme adverse effects, but again I stress this is
not a guarantee. If you do so, proceed cautiously.
Q: Is KanaPlex is a suitable medication for treating tropheus and petrochromis with bloat .
A: Kanaplex would be a first choice. This medication is readily absorbed by the fish and is still effective even when fish are not eating.
Q: Can I use KanaPlex and Metronidazole at the same time?
A: Yes, to use Metronidazole in conjunction with Kanaplex, I recommend you mix it with food (preferably frozen) using our Focus. Focus is a binding agent that will ensure little medication, if any, is lost in your water column so all medication will be delivered directly to the fish when eaten.
