Hi

Pulled this from a forum i'm a member of:-

Maracyn one and two then, as antibiotics will wipe most of the bacteria off in the filter, good luck.

Maracyn

Maracyn�Two

Effective treatment of fin and tail rot, popeye, gill disease, dropsy (swollen body, protruding scales), septicemia (bleeding or red streaks on the body), secondary and internal infections.
