Key Aquarium Treatment Features

• Commonly considered for fin and tail rot, mouth damage, cloudy eyes, popeye and related infections.
• May be administered through aquarium water, with label guidance also available for medicated pellets.

Label-Listed Fish Health Concerns

This product may be considered when the visible signs and the current label are consistent with concerns such as:

• Fin rot
• Tail rot
• Mouth fungus
• Mouth sores
• Eye sores
• Cloudy eyes
• Protruding eyes
• Popeye
• Molly disease
• Tetra disease
• Cyanobacteria
• Red slime
• Hemorrhagic septicemia
• Aeromonas
• Pseudomonas
• Myxobacteria
• Bacterial infection

Visible symptoms do not confirm a diagnosis. Similar signs may result from poor water quality, parasites, fungus, injury, toxins or environmental stress. Correct the aquarium environment and seek qualified aquatic guidance when the cause is uncertain.

Dosage and Application Directions

1. Condition the aquarium water and calculate the true treatment volume before dosing.
2. Use 1/4 teaspoon for each 20 gallons of water.
3. Repeat every 24 hours after completing a 25% water change.
4. Continue for 5–7 days. The label recommends half the standard amount for especially sensitive fish such as tetras and neons.
5. Monitor ammonia and nitrite throughout the course because kanamycin may interfere with biological filtration.

Label priority: Always compare these listing details with the instructions printed on the bottle you receive. The physical product label controls the amount, frequency, duration, compatibility and storage requirements.

Prepare the Treatment Aquarium

• Calculate dosage from the aquarium’s actual water volume, not its advertised capacity.
• Use a separate hospital or quarantine tank whenever practical.
• Test ammonia and nitrite before treatment and throughout the complete course.
• Remove activated carbon, UV or other equipment only when the current label directs you to do so.
• Maintain stable temperature and strong aeration while observing the fish closely.

A dedicated hospital aquarium is strongly preferred so filtration, water quality and fish response can be observed without exposing the full display system.

Coverage and Product Format

The concentrated powder format is designed for accurate measuring in a controlled treatment system. This package treats up to 200 gallons at the label-directed rate, making the coverage easy to compare with your hospital tank, quarantine aquarium or ornamental pond treatment volume.
