Fish Flakes: Antibiotic
Those of you ordering from Canada should know that Canadian Customs has blocked shipments containing the product. Ordering it is at your risk.
Antibiotic I: Designed to primarily stop infections from gram-negative bacteria. We use our Freshwater Fish Flake Food for the base formula on this flake. It has added garlic. Feed this medicated fish food exclusively for 10 days.
Active ingredient: Kana mycin Sulfate. Now contains beta glucan. It is water-soluble, so the Proper Feeding of Medi-cated Fish Food is a must-read. We recommend feeding our Prevent & Recover Fish Flake for 1 week after the medicated feeding is discontinued. For ornamental fish use only.
Antibiotic II: To compliment our other antibiotic flake, this one attacks gram-positive bacteria. Since your nitrifying bacteria are also gram-positive, using medicated fish flake food is by far the best way to combat this type of bacteria. Feed this fish food exclusively for 10 days.
Active ingredient: Oxy tetracycline Hydro chloride. Also with beta glucan for immune boosting. This is water-soluble, so the Proper Feeding of Medicated Fish Food is a must (See Article section of Tabs). We recommend feeding our Prevent & Recover Flake for 1 week after the medicated feeding is discontinued. For ornamental fish use only.
Packed in a Black Foil zip-lock bag, which will keep your food fresher for a longer time.
My fish devour this food. Just wished I could get my kids to like taking medicine this much!
I read about this on a website about birds it was recommended for bumble foot so I’m trying it
It’s a great idea so far my goose isn’t to interested in it
The red antibiotic flake was liked immediately by both of my sick bettas one with dropsy, . The metroplex antiprotozoan one they didn't like but would take a bite if I soaked the flake first in seachem garlic guard.
I purchased both gram-negative and gram-positive flake foods even though I planned on only using the gram-negative one just in case I needed it later. Some of my Glofish Tetras have been bloated for quite a while (over a month), but not pineconing and acting completely normal so I wasn't sure if this was dropsy or not. I also noticed one of my Chocolate Gourami's had a wound or white spot just adjacent to its eye about 0.33 cm wide in diameter and was starting to get slightly larger each day. I used the gram-negative flake food and within 3 days I noticed the white spot was diminishing by 25%. By the end of the 10th day it was completely healed. Chocolate Gouramis are very rare and sensitive to water quality (I do 50% water changes/week) so I am very pleased with this outcome. My Glofish Tetras are still bloated, but act completely normal still and I am starting to think it was just because they are female and gravid or just overweight since they always quickly get to the food first before everyone else. The other male Glofish are not this way. My Angelfish, Samurai Gourami and other fish also had no issues and all loved the food. It was pretty easy to feed them this food. I have recently purchased the recovery food as well. It is coming today and I will start feeding them that tomorrow.
This is the only thing that has worked so far to treat a slow moving columnaris outbreak (from new guppies). I ordered the red and orange flake to use and treat at the same time. I’ve tried everything from Kanaplex with Furan 2 to straight powered Oxytetracycline. Nothing worked until I ordered this food! It’s a must buy! Thank you so much!

Don't be fooled into thinking a fish food is good just because fish readily eat it. Children prefer candy over broccoli, but it doesn't mean that candy is better for them. A taste preference can easily be acquired through hunger. Getting them to prefer foods that are also very good for them, is the trick. Even though it's not always needed, our way of getting them to develop a taste for a new food, works. It is described below.
Fish won't eat their new food? When switching to a new fish food, we highly recommend getting the fish very hungry. Often times, fish become accustomed to a particular fish food and will not eat another, no matter how good it is for them. When introducing a new food, we usually don't feed the fish for 24-48 hours, depending on the size of the fish, and then offer only one bite per fish (key to success). Remove food after 1 minute if uneaten. Do this every few hours. It may take several days, especially for larger fish that have become accustomed to other fish foods. Don't worry, fish can easily and safely go much longer than this without food. Allowing the food to sit uneaten in the tank for even a couple hours can turn them off to the food permanently. If you don't give in, this method works every time.
Using this technique, you can quickly get most fish to eat a new food like ravenous piranha without much effort. In fact, we have to be careful feeding, because they often jump out of the tank in their feeding frenzy. Watch some of our fish feeding in the below video. Keep in mind, they were first introduced to these fish foods using this technique.
