Description
Seachem KanaPlex is a blended kanamycin based medication that safely and effectively treats several fungal, and bacterial fish diseases (dropsy, popeye, fin/tail rot, septicemia)
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
When used in a medicated food mix, it is excellent for treating bacterial infections in tanks that contain invertebrates
For use in freshwater or marine aquaria
