Fix Doxy delivers doxycycline hyclate 100 mg per tablet for ornamental aquarium fish and non-food pet birds, made by Aqua Soma Labs. It is used when bacterial problems appear, such as fin and tail rot, columnaris (often seen as cotton wool disease), bacterial hemorrhagic septicemia, and other internal bacterial infections in freshwater and saltwater aquariums.

It is also chosen for racing pigeons and other pet birds during respiratory infections, mycoplasmosis (mycoplasma), or suspected chlamydiosis, also known as parrot fever, psittacosis, or ornithosis.

If you used to buy the discontinued Thomas Labs Fish Doxy, Aqua Doxy, or older Bird Biotic, Fix Doxy is the online replacement. It supplies the same doxycycline strength in bottles of 30 or 60 tablets with fresh expiration dates, and it is a straightforward option when you need doxycycline for birds or a fish doxycycline product to buy online.

Use Fix Doxy when you notice early signs of bacterial stress in your fish or pet birds. Common symptoms differ between species, so check the lists below to identify what to watch for.

Fish-Specific Symptoms

  • Clamped or frayed fins (fin and tail rot)
  • Slime disease, mouth fungus, or mouth rot
  • Columnaris (cotton wool disease)
  • Red or cloudy patches on the body
  • Bacterial hemorrhagic septicemia
  • Gill disease or labored gill movement
  • Loss of appetite or hiding behavior

Bird-Specific Symptoms

  • Respiratory infections: sneezing, wheezing, or nasal discharge
  • Mycoplasmosis (mycoplasma)
  • Chlamydiosis, ornithosis, psittacosis, or parrot fever
  • Pasteurellosis, commonly seen in pigeons
  • Fluffed-up feathers, lethargy, or inactivity
  • Eye infections or persistent loss of appetite
  • Changes in droppings or vocalization

Addressing potential bacterial issues early with doxycycline, together with good water quality and advice from an aquatic or avian professional when available, helps your fish and birds maintain a stable, healthy aquarium or aviary.

Order online and ship directly from our U.S. warehouse. Fix Doxy doxycycline 100 mg tablets are available to buy online with same-day dispatch on orders placed before 1:30 p.m. CT, Monday through Friday.

Important Notice: This product is intended for aquarium and ornamental fish and pet birds only. It is not for animals used for food.

Fish Doxy vs Fix Doxy: What Changed?

If you used to buy Fish Doxy, Aqua Doxy, or Bird Biotic from Thomas Labs, here is what stayed the same and what is different with Fix Doxy from Aqua Soma Labs.

Active ingredient

Same Doxycycline

Fix Doxy delivers the same doxycycline hyclate 100 mg per tablet that was used in the original Fish Doxy and Bird Biotic products.

Manufacturer

New Manufacturer

Fix Doxy is made by Aqua Soma Labs, replacing Thomas Labs, which discontinued its Fish Doxy and Bird Biotic lines.

Tablet format

Same Tablet Form

100 mg tablets with the same dosing style of one tablet per 15 gallons, so switching from Fish Doxy to Fix Doxy requires no changes to your routine.

Presentation

Updated Packaging & Labeling

New bottle design and labeling under the Fix brand, with the same doxycycline formula and fresh expiration dates.

Benefits of Fix Doxy for Fish & Birds

01

Targets Common Bacterial Problems

Helps manage common bacterial problems such as fin and tail rot, columnaris, gill disease, septicemia, internal bacterial infections, and avian respiratory infections caused by certain Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria in both freshwater and saltwater aquariums.

02

Made in the United States

Fix Doxy is manufactured by Aqua Soma Labs and ships from a U.S. warehouse with fresh expiration dates, so you receive a recently made product ready for your tank or aviary.

03

One Solution for Fish & Birds

Fix Doxy is formulated for ornamental aquarium fish and non-food pet birds, so one doxycycline product covers tanks and aviaries. Use it for individual treatment or a whole flock as appropriate.

04

Fixed 100 mg Tablets

Each tablet delivers a fixed 100 mg doxycycline amount. These fish doxycycline tablets make it easier to follow the charts and repeat treatments accurately across different tank volumes or bird sizes.

05

Flexible Use in Tanks & Feed

Tablets are water-soluble and easy to crush, so you can dissolve them in a hospital or quarantine tank, or mix them with food or drinking water as directed. This helps when you need to treat sensitive fish or birds.

06

Available in 30-Count and 60-Count Bottles

Choose a 30-count bottle for a single treatment or a 60-count bottle for larger tanks, multiple birds, or repeat treatments, so you always have doxycycline on hand when needed.

07

Direct Fish Doxy & Bird Biotic Replacement

Fix Doxy replaces the discontinued Fish Doxy from Thomas Labs, Aqua Doxy, and Bird Biotic products. It delivers the same doxycycline hyclate 100 mg per tablet that hobbyists and breeders used before those lines were discontinued.

Usage Guidelines & Instructions

Directions for Use:
1

Prepare a Separate Treatment Area

For fish, set up a hospital or quarantine tank with clean, dechlorinated water so you can treat without disturbing the main display tank or its biofilter.

Any aquarium doxycycline treatment works best in a separate tank, so remove activated carbon, resins, and UV sterilizers during dosing, as they can strip doxycycline from the water.

2

Calculate and Give the Dose

Fish: Check the dosing instructions on your Fix Doxy bottle. Label directions for 100 mg tablets typically call for one tablet, or 100 mg, per 15 gallons or 57 litres of water, repeated every 24 hours for several days.

Pre-dissolve the tablet in a small cup of tank water, then add it evenly around the treatment tank.

Birds: For companion birds, the amount is based on the bird's weight or the volume of treated drinking water. Crush the tablet and mix with soft food or a measured amount of drinking water only as directed on the packaging or by an avian veterinarian, making sure the bird receives the full intended amount.

3

Monitor Progress and Water Quality

Watch appetite, breathing, activity level, and fin or feather condition every day. If symptoms worsen or no improvement is seen after several days, contact a veterinarian.

For fish, perform partial water changes between doses if water quality declines, then re-dose for the new water volume.

Continue treatment for the full number of days recommended on the label, usually around 5 to 10 days, unless your veterinarian advises otherwise, and never exceed label directions.

Fix Doxy Amounts by Aquarium Size

Tank volume 100 mg tablets per use
15 gallons (57 L) 1 tablet
30 gallons (114 L) 2 tablets
45 gallons (170 L) 3 tablets
60 gallons (227 L) 4 tablets
75 gallons (284 L) 5 tablets
These figures follow the label directions of one dissolved tablet per 15 gallons of water. Dose by the water volume of your treatment tank, not by the number of fish. Give one dose every 24 hours with a partial water change between doses and round to the nearest practical tablet. The bottle label or your aquatic veterinarian takes priority over this quick-reference chart.

What to Expect During Treatment

Days 1 to 2

Fish may hide or eat less, and the water can look slightly discolored. This is normal early on. Keep dosing on schedule and keep aeration strong.

Days 3 to 5

Look for signs it is working: sores and red patches stop spreading, appetite starts to return, and breathing steadies.

Days 5 to 10

Even if the fish are improving, finish the full number of days so the infection does not return. Afterward, run a partial water change and put activated carbon back in to clear leftover doxycycline.

The label says to discontinue use if no improvement is seen after five days. If there is no change by day five, or the fish look worse, stop and ask an aquatic veterinarian.

What You Need for Treatment

A little setup before the first dose saves trouble later.

  • A separate hospital or quarantine tank, so you are not treating the whole display
  • A heater and an air stone or sponge filter for steady temperature and strong aeration
  • An ammonia and nitrite test kit to keep tabs on water quality
  • A dechlorinator for water changes between doses
  • A small net and a clean cup for gentle transfer and for dissolving each tablet

Pro Tip: Keep a few extra Fix Doxy tablets on hand so you always have them ready at the first sign of bacterial stress. A quarantine tank with a heater and sponge filter makes treatment faster and protects your main system.

How Fix Doxy Works

Fix Doxy uses doxycycline hyclate 100 mg per tablet to help control certain Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria linked with fin and tail rot, mouth rot, columnaris, gill disease, septicemia, and avian respiratory infections.

The tablets dissolve readily in aquarium water, and they can also be crushed and mixed with soft food or drinking water, which spreads the dose evenly through a treatment tank or across a flock.

Safety and Tank Notes

When used as directed, Fix Doxy usually causes no problems in ornamental fish and pet birds. As with any doxycycline product, incorrect amounts or prolonged use can increase the risk of side effects.

Fish

Doxycycline-based fish treatments may cause temporary stress or hiding behavior, mild water discoloration, and reduced appetite during treatment.

If fish show severe distress such as rapid gill movement, loss of balance, or gasping at the surface, stop treatment and seek aquatic veterinary advice.

Birds

When doxycycline is given in food or drinking water, potential reactions can include decreased appetite, lethargy, or changes in droppings if the amount is too high or the bird is sensitive.

If your bird appears fluffed up, inactive, or stops eating, discontinue use and contact an avian veterinarian.

Invertebrates

Do not use Fix Doxy in tanks that contain shrimp, snails, or other invertebrates, as strong treatments may harm them.

Treat fish in a separate hospital tank whenever possible.

Safe Use in Your System

Whenever possible, treat fish in a hospital or quarantine tank, remove activated carbon and UV sterilizers, and follow label directions for dose and duration.

Do not mix Fix Doxy with other treatments unless advised by a veterinarian.

Important Safety Warning

Fix Doxy is intended for ornamental aquarium fish and non-food pet birds only. It is not for animals raised for food.

Store the product in a cool, dry place away from children and pets. Always follow label directions.
