Very effective!

I tried another medication for my Betta (API Fin and Body Cure) which didn't work for his fin rot and caused him to only become more lethargic. This was recommended to me by my private Betta fish hobbyist group.I IMMEDIATELY noticed a difference in my Bettas behavior after only 1 day. After the 2nd round of treatment his fins were healing. Then now - a week later his fins are rapidly growing.Even better, I was told it can also be used to treat other things and will be good to have on hand. Highly recommend!

Works for fin rot on betta

I’m not normally one to leave reviews, but if you are on the fence about buying this product I believe it is worth it. My betta, Fiji, had developed fin rot. At first I thought my betta had ripped his fins in the tank from one of the decorations, after observing his color become more pale over time and his fins shrink more (with black spores at the tips (fungal infection). I tried the following:1) monitor the water quality.2) change the 1/3 water out daily. Each water change I always added water conditioner and API quick start, aquarium salt, and Indian almond leaves. There was some improvement over a week, my fish was active, but his fins continued to deteriorate.3) I decided to buy Kanaplex and dosed 3x once every 2 days per the instructions and did no water changes during this time.4) after the whole week course of antibiotics/antifungal, I saw new clear fin growth.5) I completed the course over two weeks ago and happy to report Fiji is doing well, active, and my ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate levels are all within their parameters.For context my fish lives in a heated 15L tank with a filter and no live plants.Hope this helps!

Saved My Guppy Fry

Over 30 one-month-old guppy fry in one of my aquariums started developing needle-like tails. In the morning, I noticed one of my fry had died overnight and several of my fry looked lethargic at the water surface with one fry floating on his side and struggling to remain upright.Now, while I'm no stranger to keeping freshwater fish, I just started keeping guppies a little over a year ago and this is the first time I've seen such a wide-spread infection with such a fast mortality rate. Admittedly, this tank in question was a bit overcrowded, since one of my female guppies gave birth a month ago with a surprisingly large batch of fry (for me at least). Since keeping guppies, finding spare tanks to keep each new batch of fry in has been a bit challenging. After testing the water for ammonia and finding close to 1ppm, I immediately separated four of the most lethargic fry into their own tank (since some of the more healthy-looking fry were trying to eat them) and spent the next two days performing large water changes.The fry only got worse, now with almost all of the fry displaying pointed needle-like tail fins even though water quality had considerably improved with 0 ammonia and nitrite. And sadly, another two fry that I had separated the first day hadn't made it. I was now left with one really sick fry (in the separate tank) and 28 less-than-active fry who looked like they were only getting sicker.A few weeks ago, I had purchased some Kanaplex to try for a just-in-case situation like this when time would be crucial. I had never used Kanaplex before, but I had lost some fish in the past because I wasn't able to get the medication quickly enough. I liked that this medication doesn't destroy the good beneficial bacteria in the filter bed, but I was very hesitant about using this in my fry tank because of how young and weak my fry were - I wasn't sure if they'd be able to handle medication. But I figured, they were already suffering and going to die if I just did nothing more than change the aquarium water, so I put some in and hoped for the best.Two days later, I already started to see some improvement. My fry were swimming more actively and I noticed some of them were starting to spread out their fins more. The lone fry in the really sick tank still looked somewhat the same to me, though he wasn't flipped over and paralyzed like many of his brothers who had died were. He was still swimming around the surface, moving his fins, so I thought that was a good sign. The best news was that I had lost no more fry since treating both aquariums. I had thought I would soon have a massive fry death on my hands, so that alone was something to celebrate.Following the instructions, I treated both tanks with the second dose of Kanaplex on the third day. Every day, the fry seemed to be doing better and better. Today on day 5, all 28 fry in the healthier tank are very active, eating as usual with fins fully expanded. Just looking at them, you would've never known they were sick! The lone fry in the separate tank is also doing very well. Just yesterday, he started eating for the first time since the infection. While his tail fin still looks somewhat pointy, the milky white film on it is nearly gone and it's no longer as clamped. I also noticed he's been spending less time on the surface and more time moving around the aquarium! Before I had little hope he'd make it and now I really do think he'll make a full recovery.I just added the third and last dose to the tank. I'm really looking forward to adding the lone fry back into the tank with his brothers and sisters. I also bought a larger aquarium to house these fry once they get bigger. Very happy with the results I've received from Kanaplex.

Skinny pale lethargic honey gourami made a comeback

The media could not be loaded. I recently encountered a troubling situation with my honey gourami, who became noticeably skinny and pale, even losing his characteristic black belly, which typically signifies his breeding dress. He showed signs of weakness, often resting at the bottom of the tank, and one of his eyes appeared slightly larger than the other, leading me to suspect he might have Popeye. I also considered the possibility of 'wasting disease' or some form of internal infection due to his rapid weight loss.I initially attempted various natural treatments, including aquarium salt, Pemafix, and Melafix, while maintaining optimal water parameters, but sadly, none provided any relief. Ultimately, I decided to try Kanaplex, mixing it in a 50:50 ratio with Focus by Seachem to help bind the medication to the food. Although I had Garlic Guard available for added flavor, my fish eagerly consumed the medicated food without it.To administer the treatment, I mixed the powdered medication with a small amount of tank water and fish food, opting for a reduced dosage (about half a scoop) to ensure the safety of my shrimp, as it wasn’t marketed as invertebrate safe. I'm happy to report that all the inhabitants of my tank—including clown plecos, hillstream loaches, Pygmy corys, ghost shrimp, and snails (both ramshorn and Nerite)—are thriving with no noticeable adverse effects.I administered a half dose every other day for a week, and within that time, my fish's orange color began to return, and he started to fill out. His energy has noticeably increased, although he still rests at the bottom from time to time. It's worth noting that he is at least 4 years old, so he might be naturally slowing down in his old age. After about two weeks, his black belly made a comeback. One of his eyes still appears slightly different from the other, which may indicate an injury rather than Popeye.Overall, I’m very pleased with the improvement in my fish's health!
