Knight Posted September 6, 2006 Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 I just went down to our LFS GREAT PLACE!! where the guy gave us some antibiotics that will help with Fin rot and bacterial disease, they made the tank go green intresting hope this is normal well to late now lol. Any ways just wanting to know if any of you guys use antibiotics for anything out there would like to know a bit more on the topic, i do not have a brand name as he sold us individual capsules Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpidersWeb Posted September 6, 2006 Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 Sounds like he sold you Furan2. It's good and works well (better than any other medication I found). Its about $18/sheet if you buy it off the shelf, so I only use it for emergencies. If you find you're needing it a lot, or losing fish, make sure to investigate the cause. Often poor water quality / stress / overfeeding etc lead to a weakend immune system. Not saying you had any of those, just gotta mention it.

sharn Posted September 6, 2006 Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 yeah, furan 2 is the most common one sold, the outside of the capsuels are bright orange. its really good stuff, helps with a broad range of things, not just the ones mentioned. i recently used it on a fish that had the beginnnings of popeye, did the full treatment and it was gone! it is also a very gentle med, you can double dose on plecos with no ill effects.
