Happy Package –
works great
My go-to med for very many ailments for very many years. It’s even cured dropsy. Buy it in this big container. Much cheaper and will last a very long time. Very expensive to buy in small doses.

Got sick fish? This is the fix
If you have a sick fish and you positively want make sure that it recovers, this is the stuff to use. Several of my very exotic expensive fish got epistylis when my canister filter failed and this cleared it up right away.

Love the larger size!!
I have a 270 gal soft tank full of Congo and Buenos Aires Tetras, Rainbow Fish and Coridoras. Various plants, driftwood dwarf shrimp and snails… I haven’t ever had any issues with illness in this tank previously and it has been going for a while. Unfortunately, I had to strip it down when we moved to our new house that we just finished remodeling. I tried to preserve the cycle as best as I could but by the time it was up and running again I was basically starting over with it. Even with the help of FritzZyme 7 it still took a month to safely get everything mostly back in balance, I am still dealing with brown and hair algae now almost 3 months after moving. With everything that happened I ended up with an outbreak of Columnaris that didn’t respond to medicated food Ask had hoped. While I ended up loosing my rainbow shark and my school of SAE’s, I have only lost couple of the dwarf rainbowfish and 1 of my Buenos Aires Tetras so far. This has been a nightmare, I didn’t have enough meds on hand to treat the whole tank, only enough to treat my smaller 30 quarantine tank regularly. I didn’t realize that something like that could take over a tank that hadn’t had any new fish or plants introduced… Lesson learned! My only annoyance is the tiny scoop for the meds…. I used it to measure into a measuring spoon how much medicine was needed to treat my while tank, as it turns out a level tablespoon, lightly scooped not packed, is perfect for 270 gallons… At least by my plastic set I have for use with my fish stuff. This stuff has been a lifesaver. I had dropped my tank temp down to 72° to slow down the illness. I am on dose 2 of round 2 of treatment and the cotton-y tufts have been gone for a few days but I decided to go ahead and do 2 complete rounds of 3 doses to be sure it’s done for. Everyone has responded well, I slowly started raising the temp back up to 78° after the first round was done. Hopefully I don’t have to deal with this again, but if I do I know where to go. I had no idea Kanaplex came in large quantities like this and I will just start buying it this way. Definitely a must for anyone with a large set up!

Works! Prepare bio supplement
My fish had a bad bacterial infection outbreak, but weâre saved by treating the tank with kanaplex. After a full treatment regimen, I did experience ammonia spike so I had to dose with Seachem stability and prime, to boost it back up and keep my fish save. My prized expensive fish are now fine!
