KanaPlexTM is a blended kanamycin based medication that safely and effectively treats several fungal, and bacterial fish diseases (dropsy, popeye, fin/tail rot, septicemica). 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. Usual dose is 360 mg/40 L (10?gallons). Contains kanamycin sulfate, potassium sulfate
DIRECTIONS: Use 1 level measure (180 mg) for every 20L (5 gallons). Measurer included. Repeat every 2 days until symptoms disappear or up to a maximum of 3 doses. Turn off UV, ozone, and chemical filtration. To feed, blend 1 measure with about 1 tablespoon of frozen food paste. To minimize loss during feeding use with Seachem Focus. Food may be refrozen.
- i5 g / 0.2 oz (Treats 600 L (160 US Gallons))

It Works!
Pros: It works in display tank when added to food
Cons: May cloud water a little
For the first time in over 20 years in this hobby, I got a fish that had popeye and internal worms. This stuff works. I added it to the food. Cleared it right up.

One betta needs it
Pros: Has worked for my betta
Cons: Takes some time to fully dissolve
I rescued a betta last year who had all its fins disintegrated. Since then, he goes in cycles, about 3 months of healing & doing well, then it hits him again almost overnight despite weekly water changes, Stress Guard & Prime. Water levels all show great time and again, no high ammonia or nitrates ect... so its the betta.
For my 2.5 gal tank, I use one half of the enclosed spoon, FULLY dissolved in another cup of warm water: then it goes in the tank no more than 3 days/doses. I also give a squirt of the StressGuard as well. Once the med is in the tank , I put my betta in a 20 ounce plastic tub, filled with tank water and float it on the surface as w/no fins, its difficult to swim/get air.
The product works but I cant figure what internally is going on, so I keep it on hand. This guy has 9 lives.
I have been spending a fortune on medication locally, I can say this price is SUPERB and the quick delivery was equally awesome!

Broad spectrum
This antibiotic is ideal for use with Focus to feed to sick fish. This way you can treat a fish while in a reef tank without harming corals.

Antibiotics
I have used this many times over after treating for parasites. Copper or chloroquine usually leaves a few with a bacterial infection. In a food mix seems quicker to see results but either way works.
