Seachem KanaPlex is a broad-spectrum kanamycin-based antibiotic that treats fungal and bacterial fish disease, absorbed through skin and gills.
KanaPlex is a blended kanamycin based medication that safely and effectively treats several fungal, and bacterial fish diseases (dropsy, pop-eye, fin/tail rot, septicemia). Because it is absorbed by fish it is useful in treating internal infections in those situations where food is refused. It does not adversely affect the filter bed and is easily removed with carbon. When used in a medicated food mix, it is excellent for treating bacterial infections in tanks that contain invertebrates. For use in freshwater or marine aquaria.
Use 1 level measure (included) for every 20 litres (5 US gallons) of aquarium water. Repeat every 48 hours, to a maximum of 3 doses.
Before dosing: remove all invertebrates, switch off UV and ozone, and take out chemical filtration such as activated carbon or Purigen — they will strip the medication straight back out.
KanaPlex is absorbed by the fish rather than only acting on the water, which is what makes it useful for internal infections in a fish that has gone off its food. It treats dropsy, popeye, fin and tail rot, and septicaemia. When the course is finished, run activated carbon to remove it; it does not linger in the substrate or filter media.
Freshwater and marine. Not reef safe as dosed to the display — invertebrates are highly sensitive and must be removed, or the fish treated in a separate hospital tank, which is the better course in a stocked reef.
Expect the biological filter to be knocked back: this is an antibiotic, and the nitrifying bacteria are bacteria too. Test ammonia daily through the course and for a week after. Can be combined with Seachem Focus and GarlicGuard for medicated feeding.
5 g jar with the measuring scoop. That treats about 100 litres for a full three-dose course, or a 20 litre hospital tank several times over. The 100 g jar is the size to buy if you are treating a stocked display.
