How to Use KanaPlex?

[maeve100]

Hi there,

I purchased some KanaPlex to treat a bad case of Fin Rot on my betta. I read the back and it says to treat x amount per 5 gallons. Then it says "To feed, mix with..." So now I'm confused, can I add this product to the water and treat my fish, or do I have to mix it with food so he eats it?

Thank you!

Hi Liz,

Thank you for using Kanaplex and for your question regarding its use. Kanaplex is very effective antibiotic proven to treat many fungal and bacterial infections. Kanaplex can be utilized in two different manners, depending upon the needs of individual fish. For example, if a fish is exhibiting symptoms of an internal bacterial infection, such as hemorrhagic septicemia, then Kanaplex can be mixed with food to ensure that the medication in internalized.

Kanaplex is also quite effective in treating external bacterial infections and in cases where food is refused. Because Kanaplex is very water soluble and easily absorbed through the gills, dosing it directly to the water is equally as effective. In your case, dosing the medication directly to the water should be sufficient. Best of luck to you!
