INFORMATION ON THE COMBINATION: This combination of ingredients in its cream base provides a salve for a wide range of conditions affecting a broad range of species. It can be used as an adjunct in the treatment of septic wounds, both acute and chronic particularly in combination with antibiotic therapy where appropriate. The ingredients have been selected to have a synergistic effect and are used at levels where the product is totally safe, natural and side-effect free. It is effective in its own right, but can be used in any treatment regimen without any danger of interaction. It promotes healing, not just of the skin, but also of the deeper tissues in general. If applied at the earliest sign of change, it can be used to prevent progression to a more serious problem. The cream can be used for a wide range of problems from minor cuts and grazes, to major wounds and tears, even sunburn.
INDICATIONS: First aid for grazes, cuts, bruises, wounds, burns, bites, scars, aids with infected wounds, sprains, ulcers, cracked skin and pads, and bedsores.
ADMINISTRATION: Optimally, the cream should be applied directly to ulcers and large open wounds. For incised (surgical wounds), similar cut type wounds, or puncture wounds, the cream should be applied around the area. The cream is designed for compatibility with other Homeopet Products such as Joint Stress, Skin & Itch and Hot Spots. Where wounds are cleaned by washing, for example with salt water, they should be dried well before application of the cream.
ADVERSE EFFECTS AND CONTRAINDICATIONS: None known. Although no evidence exists to the contrary, care should be taken with its use in pregnant animals as low potency homeopathics are historically not regarded as totally safe in pregnancy, despite their lack of chemicals. Should a suspected adverse reaction be seen or you want advice, please contact HomeoPet, LLC. Contact your veterinarian if problems persist.
DRUG INTERACTIONS: None known. For animal use only. Keep out of reach of children.
PHARMACEUTICAL PRECAUTIONS: Store at room temperature, out of direct sunlight, and away from strong odors.
USER SAFETY: As with any cream product applied to an open wound, protective gloves are advised. No adverse effects have been recorded even without protective gloves. There have been reports of beneficial rather than adverse effects. As homeopathics are active in humans, care is advised when handling product, although a long history of homeopathics used in humans shows a very high safety margin.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT: To date, none found.

ReefHD Reef Flux Fluconazole 200mg Aquarium Treatment – 10 Capsules
Regular price $39.99 Save $-39.99ReefHD Reef Flux Fluconazole 200mg Aquarium Treatment – 10 Capsules
ReefHD Reef Flux is a concentrated fluconazole treatment intended for ornamental saltwater aquariums, marine fish systems and reef aquariums. Each package supplies 10 capsules containing 200mg of fluconazole each, providing a convenient measured format for treating certain fungal infections affecting ornamental aquarium fish.
With a labeled rate of one capsule per 10 gallons of aquarium water, one package provides enough product for a single treatment of up to approximately 100 gallons. Reef Flux is also commonly searched for by marine aquarium keepers managing Bryopsis-related problems, although correct identification and strict adherence to the current package directions remain essential.
Important: This product is intended exclusively for ornamental aquariums and ornamental fish. It is not for human use, food-producing fish or any animal intended for human consumption.
Reef Flux at a Glance
| Brand | ReefHD |
| Product Name | Reef Flux |
| Active Ingredient | Fluconazole |
| Strength | 200mg per capsule |
| Package Contents | 10 capsules |
| Labeled Treatment Rate | 1 capsule per 10 gallons of aquarium water |
| Equivalent Concentration | Approximately 20mg per gallon |
| Approximate Package Coverage | Up to 100 gallons at the labeled rate |
| Intended For | Ornamental aquariums and ornamental fish |
Measured Fluconazole Treatment for Marine Aquariums
Reef Flux provides fluconazole in individual 200mg capsules, helping aquarium keepers measure treatment according to aquarium volume. The capsule contents are added directly to a high-flow area of the aquarium system so the treatment can circulate throughout the water.
Before calculating the required number of capsules, confirm the aquarium volume and read all instructions printed on the package received. Aquarium rock, sand, equipment and sump capacity can affect the amount of water in the system.
Key Product Benefits
- Contains 200mg of fluconazole in every capsule
- Includes 10 clearly measured treatment capsules
- Designed for ornamental saltwater and marine aquariums
- Labeled for certain fungal infections affecting aquarium fish
- Convenient one-capsule-per-10-gallon treatment rate
- May treat up to approximately 100 gallons per package
- Easy to add through a sump or another high-circulation area
- Suitable for experienced marine and reef aquarium keepers
- Can be used with mechanical filtration such as a clean filter sock
- Clearly identified active ingredient and capsule strength
General Treatment Directions
- Read the complete package label before opening the capsules.
- Determine the aquarium system’s water volume.
- Use one 200mg capsule for every 10 gallons of aquarium water.
- Open the required number of capsules.
- Add the capsule contents to a high-flow area of the sump or aquarium.
- Turn off the protein skimmer during the first three days.
- Follow the current package directions regarding activated carbon, Purigen, phosphate remover and other chemical filtration.
- Use a clean filter sock when recommended to collect loosened aquarium material.
- Observe fish, corals, invertebrates and water quality throughout treatment.
- After 14 days, perform a minimum 30% aquarium water change.
Never exceed the dosage printed on the current product packaging. Manufacturer directions should take priority over generalized online instructions.
Protein Skimmer and Filtration Preparation
The protein skimmer should be turned off during the first three days of treatment. Chemical filtration media may remove treatment ingredients from aquarium water, so activated carbon, Purigen and similar media must be managed according to the instructions supplied with the product.
A filter sock may help collect loosened algae and organic material. Check the sock regularly and clean or replace it when necessary to prevent accumulated material from reducing water flow or affecting water quality.
Bryopsis, Caulerpa and Refugium Considerations
Reef Flux is frequently associated with Bryopsis management in marine aquariums. However, not every green growth is Bryopsis, and this product should not be represented as a universal solution for all aquarium algae.
Correctly identify the growth before treatment. Hair algae, turf algae, cyanobacteria, dinoflagellates and other aquarium problems may require different corrective measures.
Exercise additional caution with systems containing Bryopsis or Caulerpa refugiums. The breakdown of a large quantity of algae or macroalgae may release nutrients and organic material into the aquarium. The manufacturer’s directions advise against use in tanks containing Bryopsis or Caulerpa refugiums because of the risk of unintended nutrient increases.
Monitor Aquarium Conditions Carefully
Medication cannot correct poor water quality, unstable salinity, inadequate circulation or excessive nutrient accumulation. Test and observe the aquarium throughout the treatment period.
Important parameters and conditions to monitor include:
- Ammonia and nitrite
- Nitrate and phosphate
- Temperature
- Salinity
- pH and alkalinity
- Surface movement and oxygen exchange
- Fish respiration and swimming behavior
- Coral extension and coloration
- Invertebrate activity
- Accumulation of dying algae or organic debris
Remove excessive loose material when practical and maintain sufficient circulation. Seek guidance from an aquatic veterinarian or experienced aquarium professional when fish are deteriorating rapidly or the condition cannot be identified confidently.
Responsible Aquarium Use
Use ReefHD Reef Flux only for the purpose and species stated on its label. Avoid treating an aquarium solely because of a visual change without first checking water quality and identifying the likely cause.
Fungal-looking patches and abnormal fish behavior can sometimes be associated with bacterial disease, parasites, injuries, stress or environmental problems. Selecting treatment without identifying the cause may delay the appropriate response.
Storage and Handling
- Keep the capsules in their original packaging.
- Store in a cool, dry place away from excessive heat and moisture.
- Keep away from children and household animals.
- Avoid contact with eyes, food and food-preparation surfaces.
- Wash hands thoroughly after handling the capsules.
- Do not swallow, taste or use the capsules for human treatment.
- Do not transfer the contents into an unlabeled container.
- Do not use for food fish or food-producing animals.

Fish Zole Metronidazole 250mg & 500mg | Fish Antibiotic
Regular price $40.99 Save $-40.99Fish Zole Metronidazole 250mg & 500mg | Fish Antibiotic
Fish Zole (Fix Zole) is a metronidazole antibacterial treatment in tablet form for ornamental aquarium fish and non-food pet birds.
Each tablet supplies 250 mg or 500 mg of metronidazole and is made in the United States by Aqua Soma Labs. Hobbyists commonly use it to help manage suspected protozoan problems in a hospital or quarantine tank, where dosing and observation are easier to control.
Aquarists have known this metronidazole tablet under earlier names, including the discontinued Thomas Labs Fish Zole and Fish Zole Forte, Aqua-Zole, fishzole, and fishbiotic metronidazole.
Fix Zole is the current Aqua Soma Labs version, replacing those older products with the same metronidazole strengths of 250 mg or 500 mg per tablet. Keepers who previously used MetroPlex may find this a convenient tablet-based option.
Hobbyists use Fix Zole to help manage internal parasites and intestinal protozoan flagellates such as Hexamita and Spironucleus.
These problems can appear through feeding changes, unusual droppings, weight loss, behavioral changes, or visible physical signs in certain freshwater fish.
Metronidazole works against certain protozoa and anaerobic organisms. When used as directed, it can form part of a broader care plan that includes stable water quality, reduced stress, and appropriate nutrition.
It is not intended for ich or flukes, and it is not normally the first choice for typical fin rot unless the underlying cause has been confirmed by an aquatic professional.
Fix Zole from Aqua Soma Labs delivers 250 mg or 500 mg of metronidazole per tablet in 60-count bottles with fresh expiration dates.
Choose the tablet strength that matches your treatment-tank volume and treatment plan. Tablets may be pre-dissolved in a small cup of aquarium water before being added evenly to the treatment tank.
Use Fix Zole when fish or pet birds show signs that may be associated with protozoan flagellates or anaerobic-sensitive problems.
Fish-Specific Symptoms
- Loss of appetite or gradual weight loss
- White, stringy droppings
- Hole-in-the-head lesions or pits along the head and lateral line
- Malawi bloat or cichlid bloat
- Swollen abdomen
- Faded color, darkening, or body discoloration
- Lethargy, hiding, or reduced activity
- Sudden decline in cichlids or discus associated with Hexamita or Spironucleus
Bird-Specific Symptoms Under Avian Veterinary Guidance
- Yellow plaques in the throat or crop
- Canker or trichomonosis
- Pigeon canker, especially in racing pigeons
- Frounce in falcons, hawks, owls, and other raptors
- Loose or watery droppings possibly associated with giardia
- Reduced appetite or weight loss
- Difficulty swallowing or visible discomfort while eating
- Fluffed-up feathers or lethargy
Supporting treatment with clean water, stable temperature, low stress, and appropriate husbandry helps reduce setbacks and improve outcomes.
For pet birds, always confirm the diagnosis with an avian veterinarian before administering metronidazole.
Order online: Fix Zole ships from our United States warehouse the same business day according to the current order-processing schedule.
Fish Zole vs Fix Zole: What Changed?
If you previously used Thomas Labs Fish Zole, Fish Zole Forte, or Aqua-Zole by Aqua Soma Labs, here is what you need to know about Fix Zole.
Same as Fish Zole, Fish Zole Forte, and Aqua-Zole
Fix Zole uses the same metronidazole that hobbyists relied on under the Thomas Labs Fish Zole, Fish Zole Forte, and Aqua Soma Labs Aqua-Zole names.
New Fix Product Line
Fix Zole is produced by Aqua Soma Labs, which now manufactures the Fix line after Thomas Labs discontinued its Fish Zole products.
Same 60-Count Bottles
Each bottle contains 60 tablets. Choose between the 250 mg and 500 mg strengths according to the treatment-tank size and plan.
Updated Packaging, Same Formula
The brand name, bottle design, and label have changed, while the metronidazole tablet strengths remain familiar.
Benefits of Fix Zole for Fish & Birds
Targeted Protozoan Support
Commonly used to help manage internal parasites and protozoan flagellates such as Hexamita and Spironucleus, which may be associated with appetite loss, weight loss, white stringy droppings, Malawi bloat, and hole-in-the-head symptoms.
Stocked and Ready to Ship
Fix Zole ships from a United States warehouse according to the current processing schedule, helping aquarium keepers obtain treatment quickly when concerning signs appear.
Avian Vet-Guided Option
In non-food pet birds, metronidazole may be used under avian veterinary guidance for specific protozoal concerns such as giardia, frounce, and pigeon canker caused by trichomonosis.
Flexible 250 mg or 500 mg Tablets
Choose the strength that fits your treatment setup. A consistent amount per tablet helps aquarium keepers scale treatment across different tank volumes.
Ideal for Hospital Tanks and Quarantine
A separate hospital tank makes observation and dosing easier while helping protect the display aquarium's biological filter and sensitive tank mates.
Fits a Complete Care Plan
Treatment works best when combined with stable temperature, clean water, appropriate feeding, good aeration, and reduced environmental stress.
Targeted, Not a One-Size-Fits-All Remedy
Fix Zole is not normally used for ich, gill flukes, Costia, fungus, or ordinary fin rot unless the cause has been professionally identified.
Usage Guidelines & Instructions
Set Up a Separate Treatment Area
Move affected fish to a dedicated hospital or quarantine tank whenever possible.
This allows you to monitor behavior, control dosing more precisely, and reduce unnecessary exposure in the main display aquarium.
Directions for Fish Aquariums
Pre-dissolve the tablet in a small cup of aquarium water, then distribute the prepared solution evenly across the treatment tank.
250 mg strength: Add one 250 mg tablet per 10 gallons or 38 litres of treatment water.
500 mg strength: Add one 500 mg tablet per 20 gallons or 76 litres of treatment water.
Repeat the dose every 24 hours and perform a partial water change between treatments.
Adjust the Filtration
Remove activated carbon and other chemical filtration media during treatment.
Keep strong aeration running because activated carbon can reduce the amount of metronidazole available in the treatment water.
Continue Treatment and Monitor Results
Continue daily treatment for 5 to 10 days and do not exceed 10 days unless specifically directed by a qualified aquatic veterinarian.
If there is no improvement within five days, discontinue treatment and consult an aquatic professional.
Use in Pet Birds Under Veterinary Guidance
Administer metronidazole to non-food pet birds only under the direction of an avian veterinarian.
The veterinarian should confirm the diagnosis and determine the amount, frequency, and duration based on the bird's species, weight, and condition.
Tablets may be given whole, divided, or crushed into soft food only as specifically instructed.

Days 1 to 2
Fish may hide or eat less while treatment begins. Maintain the schedule and keep aeration strong.
Days 3 to 5
Look for improving appetite, more normal droppings, and steadier activity. Stop and seek professional advice if the fish worsen or no change is seen by day five.
Days 5 to 10
Complete the recommended treatment period even when improvement appears. After treatment, perform a partial water change and restore activated carbon.
What You Need Before You Start
Prepare the following supplies before administering the first treatment:
- A separate hospital or quarantine tank
- A suitable heater
- An air stone or established sponge filter
- An ammonia and nitrite test kit
- Aquarium dechlorinator
- A small net for gentle transfer
- A clean cup for pre-dissolving each tablet
Pro Tip: After treatment, perform a partial water change and reintroduce activated carbon, if normally used, to help clear remaining treatment from the aquarium water.
How Fix Zole Works
Fix Zole uses metronidazole, an ingredient aquarium keepers have relied on for years for certain protozoan and anaerobic-sensitive problems.
In practical terms, metronidazole works against specific protozoa and anaerobic organisms, giving affected fish a better opportunity to recover when the underlying condition is susceptible to it.
This is why aquarium keepers use it when they suspect intestinal flagellates such as Hexamita and Spironucleus rather than for ich, flukes, fungal problems, or typical fin rot.
Each tablet also contains standard inactive ingredients that help hold the tablet together, support storage stability, and allow the tablet to disperse when mixed with water.
The exact inactive ingredient list may vary by batch and may not always be publicly listed.
Safety and Tank Notes
When used as directed, Fix Zole usually causes no problems in ornamental aquarium fish and non-food pet birds.
Incorrect amounts, extended treatment, unnecessary repeat treatments, or combining multiple products can increase stress and the risk of unwanted effects.
Fish
Possible reactions include temporarily reduced appetite, mild lethargy, or hiding behavior.
If severe distress develops, including rapid gill movement, loss of balance, surface gasping, or lying on the bottom, stop treatment, increase aeration, perform a partial water change, and seek aquatic veterinary advice.
Birds
Use metronidazole only under avian veterinary guidance.
Possible reactions may include reduced appetite, loose or changed droppings, and lethargy, particularly if the bird is sensitive or the administered amount is incorrect.
If the bird becomes fluffed up, inactive, or stops eating, discontinue use and contact an avian veterinarian.
Invertebrates
Sensitivity can vary between shrimp, snails, corals, and other invertebrates.
Whenever possible, treat fish in a separate hospital tank rather than dosing a display aquarium containing sensitive invertebrates.
Safe Use in Your System
Do not combine Fix Zole with other treatments unless advised by a qualified professional.
Avoid routine preventative use. If symptoms persist or return, confirm the diagnosis before repeating treatment.
Storage & Handling
Store Fix Zole at a controlled room temperature of 59–86°F or 15–30°C in a cool, dry place.
Keep the container tightly closed to protect the tablets from moisture and light.
Keep out of reach of children and pets.
Important Safety Warning: Fix Zole is intended for ornamental aquarium fish and non-food pet birds only. It is not for animals raised for food. Always follow current label directions.

Review Refund Policy →Frequently Asked Questions
What is Fix Zole used for in aquarium fish and pet birds?
Fix Zole contains metronidazole and is used for certain protozoan and anaerobic-sensitive problems in ornamental fish. These may include Hexamita, Spironucleus, white stringy droppings, internal flagellates, Malawi bloat, and hole-in-the-head symptoms.
Use in non-food pet birds should occur only under avian veterinary guidance.
What is in Fix Zole?
Each tablet contains either 250 mg or 500 mg of metronidazole. Both strengths are supplied in 60-count bottles.
What does metronidazole treat in fish?
Metronidazole is generally used against certain internal protozoa, intestinal flagellates, and anaerobic organisms. It is commonly associated with treatment plans for Hexamita and Spironucleus in susceptible ornamental fish.
Is Fix Zole the same as Fish Zole or Fish Zole Forte?
Fix Zole is presented as the current Aqua Soma Labs replacement for the discontinued Fish Zole and Fish Zole Forte products. The familiar 250 mg and 500 mg metronidazole tablet strengths remain available.
Is Fix Zole the same as Aqua-Zole by Aqua Soma Labs?
Fix Zole is the updated Fix-brand version of the metronidazole tablets previously sold under names such as Aqua-Zole.
Will Fix Zole harm my tank's biological filter?
Treatment may disturb aquarium balance, particularly when used in a display aquarium. A separate hospital tank is preferred, and ammonia and nitrite should be monitored throughout treatment.
How do I choose between 250 mg and 500 mg tablets?
Choose the strength according to the treatment-tank volume. The supplied guide uses one 250 mg tablet per 10 gallons or one 500 mg tablet per 20 gallons.
Can I give Fix Zole to my dog or cat?
No. This product is labeled for ornamental aquarium fish and non-food pet birds. It is not intended for dogs, cats, humans, or food-producing animals.
Does metronidazole help with hole-in-the-head symptoms?
Aquarium keepers commonly use metronidazole when hole-in-the-head symptoms are suspected to involve intestinal flagellates such as Hexamita or Spironucleus. Similar lesions may have other causes, so diagnosis is important.
Will Fix Zole treat ich or gill flukes?
Fix Zole is not normally used for ich, white spot disease, or gill flukes. Those conditions generally require different treatment approaches.
Can Fix Zole treat fin rot or other bacterial infections?
Fix Zole is not normally the first choice for typical fin rot. It is more commonly used for certain protozoan flagellates and anaerobic-sensitive problems.
Can I use Fix Zole as routine prevention?
Routine preventative use is not recommended. Treatment should be based on observed symptoms, the product label, and professional guidance when the diagnosis is uncertain.
How long should I treat with Fix Zole?
The supplied directions describe treatment every 24 hours for 5 to 10 days, without exceeding 10 days. Follow the current bottle label and discontinue if no improvement is seen within five days.
How much metronidazole do I use per gallon?
The supplied reference is 250 mg per 10 gallons, approximately 25 mg per gallon. Pre-dissolve the tablet in aquarium water and dose according to the actual water volume of the treatment tank.
Is Fix Zole safe in saltwater tanks?
Fix Zole is presented for freshwater and saltwater treatment tanks. A separate hospital tank is recommended, especially when the display aquarium contains corals or other invertebrates.
Is Fix Zole reef-safe or safe with shrimp and snails?
Sensitivity varies by species. Treat fish separately whenever possible rather than exposing shrimp, snails, corals, and other invertebrates.
Can I combine Fix Zole with other treatments?
Do not combine treatments unless a veterinarian or qualified aquatic professional specifically recommends the combination.
How do I administer metronidazole to pet birds?
Administer metronidazole to non-food pet birds only under avian veterinary direction. The veterinarian must determine the amount, administration method, frequency, and duration.
How soon should I see improvement with Fix Zole?
Some improvement may become visible within three to five days through increased appetite, more normal droppings, and improved activity. Stop and seek professional advice if the animal worsens or no improvement is seen within five days.
Where can I buy metronidazole for fish online?
Fix Zole 250 mg and 500 mg tablets can be ordered through this online store and shipped according to the current United States warehouse processing and shipping policy.

Fish Flex Cephalexin 250mg & 500mg | Fish Antibiotic
Regular price $18.95 Save $-18.95Fish Cephalexin Capsules - Fish & Bird Antibacterial Treatment 250 mg / 500 mg
Fish Flex (Fix Flex) is an antibacterial treatment in capsule form for ornamental aquarium fish and non-food pet birds.
Made by Aqua Soma Labs, it supplies cephalexin in 250 mg and 500 mg capsule strengths and is available in bottles containing 30 or 100 capsules with clearly printed expiration dates.
Often called Fish Flex, Fin Flex, or simply fishflex in the aquarium community, this product is an online alternative to discontinued Thomas Labs Fish Flex, Fish Flex Forte, Fish Aid Cephalexin, Aqua Ceph 500 mg, Aqua Flex, and FISHBIOTIC Cephalexin products.
Aquarium keepers may also search for it as fish cephalexin, fish cephalexin 500 mg, or cephalexin for fish.
It is used to help manage common bacterial concerns such as fin and tail rot, skin ulcers, infected wounds and lesions, red patches, pop-eye, and dropsy or pinecone disease in freshwater and saltwater aquariums.
Under veterinary guidance, bird keepers may also use cephalexin as part of a treatment plan for bumblefoot, skin infections, or joint infections in pigeons and other non-food pet birds.
The capsules can be opened so the powder disperses quickly through aquarium water in a separate hospital or quarantine tank.
The availability of two strengths and two bottle sizes gives aquarium and bird keepers flexible options, whether maintaining one hospital tank, several community aquariums, or a veterinarian-directed aviary treatment plan.
Consider treatment when early signs of bacterial stress appear, including ragged fins, red or pale fin edges, open sores, localized swelling, cloudy body patches, pop-eye, or persistent appetite loss.
Fish-Specific Symptoms

- Ruffled or fluffed feathers
- Reduced activity
- Persistent appetite loss
Addressing possible bacterial problems early, together with suitable water quality, good housing, reduced stress, and advice from an aquatic or avian professional, helps maintain a stable aquarium or aviary.
Fix Flex is formulated, labeled, and sold exclusively as an antibacterial treatment for ornamental aquariums and non-food pet birds.
Order online for same-day dispatch on qualifying orders placed before 1:30 p.m. CT, Monday through Friday. Orders ship from our United States warehouse through USPS or UPS.
Fish Flex vs Fix Flex: What Changed?
If you previously purchased Thomas Labs Fish Flex, Fish Flex Forte, Aqua Ceph, Aqua Flex, or FISHBIOTIC Cephalexin, here is what has changed and what remains the same.
Same Cephalexin
Fix Flex contains cephalexin in the same familiar 250 mg and 500 mg capsule strengths associated with older Fish Flex and Aqua Ceph products.
New Manufacturer
Fix Flex is made in the United States by Aqua Soma Labs, replacing the discontinued Thomas Labs line.
Same Capsule Form
The capsules can be opened so the powder can be mixed into aquarium water or administered to birds exactly as directed by an avian veterinarian.
Two Strengths and Two Bottle Sizes
Choose 250 mg or 500 mg capsules in 30-count or 100-count bottles according to the aquarium volume and treatment plan.
Benefits of Fix Flex for Fish & Birds
Bacterial Support for Fish and Birds
Fix Flex provides cephalexin for ornamental aquarium fish and non-food pet birds and may help manage fin and tail rot, skin ulcers, infected wounds, red patches, and other bacterial concerns when used as directed.
Made in the United States
Fix Flex is manufactured in the United States by Aqua Soma Labs, with clear strength labeling and expiration information on each bottle.
Two Strengths to Match Your Tank
Choose 250 mg capsules for smaller treatment systems or 500 mg capsules for larger water volumes while following the product label.
Consistent Capsules
Each capsule provides a consistent amount of cephalexin, making aquarium-volume calculations easier across quarantine tanks and larger treatment systems.
Easy to Prepare
Capsules can be opened and the powder mixed with aquarium water, helping distribute the treatment evenly while limiting unnecessary handling of stressed fish.
Freshwater, Saltwater & Aviary Setups
Fix Flex may be used in properly prepared freshwater or marine hospital tanks and in veterinarian-directed treatment plans for pigeons and other ornamental birds.
Good for Hospital Tanks and Quarantine
A separate treatment system protects the main aquarium's biological filtration and reduces unnecessary exposure of healthy tank mates and sensitive invertebrates.
Usage Guidelines & Instructions
Set Up a Separate Treatment Area
Move affected fish to a dedicated hospital or quarantine tank before treatment.
Where practical, birds receiving veterinarian-directed treatment should be separated into an appropriate treatment enclosure.
Separation helps protect healthy animals and allows more accurate treatment and observation.
Choose the Right Strength
Fix Flex is available in 250 mg and 500 mg capsule strengths.
Select the strength that matches the treatment-tank water volume or the instructions provided by a qualified professional.
Do not increase the amount, shorten the interval, or extend treatment beyond the label directions.
Directions for Fish Aquariums
Add one dissolved 250 mg dose per 10 gallons or approximately 38 litres of treatment water.
Open the capsule, stir the powder into a clean cup of aquarium water, and distribute the prepared solution evenly throughout the hospital tank.
Repeat every 24 hours for 5 to 10 days, performing a partial water change between treatments.
Discontinue treatment and consult an aquatic veterinarian if no improvement is seen within five days.
Use in Pet Birds Under Veterinary Guidance
Only administer cephalexin to pigeons and other non-food pet birds under the direction of an avian veterinarian.
The veterinarian should determine the correct amount according to the bird's species, weight, condition, frequency, and treatment duration.
Capsule contents may be mixed with soft food or drinking water only as specifically instructed.
Maintain Water Quality & Complete Treatment
Perform partial water changes when needed between treatments to keep ammonia and nitrite low.
Maintain stable temperature and strong aeration throughout the treatment period.
Complete the full label-directed treatment unless a veterinarian advises otherwise.
Seek professional guidance if symptoms become worse or fail to improve.
Fix Flex Amounts by Aquarium Size
| Tank volume | Cephalexin per use | 250 mg capsules | 500 mg capsules |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10 gallons (38 L) | 250 mg | 1 capsule | Use the 250 mg strength |
| 20 gallons (76 L) | 500 mg | 2 capsules | 1 capsule |
| 30 gallons (114 L) | 750 mg | 3 capsules | 1 capsule plus one 250 mg capsule |
| 40 gallons (151 L) | 1,000 mg | 4 capsules | 2 capsules |
| 55 gallons (208 L) | Approximately 1,375 mg | 5 to 6 capsules | Approximately 3 capsules |
What to Expect During Treatment
Days 1 to 2
Fish may hide, eat less, or produce slightly cloudy treatment water. Maintain strong aeration and continue monitoring water quality.
Days 3 to 5
Look for sores and red patches that stop spreading, returning appetite, improved activity, and steadier breathing.
Days 5 to 10
Complete the recommended treatment even when improvement appears. After treatment, perform a partial water change and restore activated carbon.
What You Need for Treatment
Prepare the following supplies before the first treatment:
- A separate hospital or quarantine tank
- A suitable aquarium heater
- An air stone or established sponge filter
- An ammonia and nitrite test kit
- A suitable water conditioner or dechlorinator
- A small net for gentle fish transfer
- A clean cup for mixing each treatment
Pro Tip: Quarantine affected fish and birds away from healthy companions whenever practical. A dedicated treatment setup with stable temperature, strong aeration, and no substrate makes observation and water changes easier.
How Fix Flex Works
Fix Flex supplies cephalexin as the active ingredient at a strength of 250 mg or 500 mg per capsule.
Cephalexin works against a range of susceptible Gram-positive bacteria and some Gram-negative species that may affect the skin, fins, wounds, and soft tissues of ornamental fish and non-food pet birds.
In practical terms, it helps slow or stop the growth of susceptible bacteria so the animal has a better opportunity to recover when the underlying condition is bacterial.
Each hard capsule contains cephalexin powder together with standard inactive ingredients that support capsule stability and help the contents disperse when mixed into aquarium water.
Administration to birds should follow the exact method and amount provided by an avian veterinarian.
Safety and Tank Notes
When used as directed, Fix Flex generally causes no problems in ornamental aquarium fish and non-food pet birds.
Incorrect amounts, unnecessarily prolonged use, or repeated antibacterial treatment may increase the risk of unwanted reactions and bacterial resistance.
Fish
Cephalexin treatment may cause temporary hiding, mild treatment-water cloudiness, reduced activity, or appetite loss.
If severe distress appears, including rapid gill movement, surface gasping, loss of balance, or remaining on the bottom, stop treatment, improve aeration, perform an appropriate water change, and seek aquatic veterinary advice.
Birds
Possible reactions may include reduced appetite, loose or changed droppings, and lethargy, particularly when the amount is too high or the bird is sensitive.
If a bird becomes fluffed up, inactive, has difficulty breathing, or stops eating, discontinue treatment and contact an avian veterinarian.
Invertebrates
Do not use Fix Flex in display aquariums containing shrimp, snails, corals, or other sensitive invertebrates whenever a separate hospital tank is available.
Strong antibacterial treatment may harm sensitive species or disrupt the aquarium ecosystem.
Safe Use in Your System
Remove activated carbon and switch off UV sterilization during treatment.
Monitor ammonia, nitrite, temperature, and oxygen levels closely.
Do not combine Fix Flex with other treatments unless specifically advised by a qualified veterinarian.
Important Safety Warning
Fix Flex is intended for ornamental aquarium fish and non-food pet birds only. It is not intended for animals raised for food.
Store the capsules in their original container in a cool, dry location protected from direct sunlight, excessive heat, and moisture.
Keep the container tightly closed and out of reach of children and animals.
Always follow the current product-label directions.

Fish Sulfa Forte | Sulfa Antibiotic for Aquarium Fish
Regular price $39.99 Save $-39.99Fish Sulfa Forte (Fix Sulfa) Tablets, 960 mg
Fish Sulfa (Fix Sulfa) SMZ/TMP 960 mg is an antibacterial treatment for ornamental aquarium fish.
Each scored tablet combines sulfamethoxazole 800 mg with trimethoprim 160 mg. Aquarium keepers use this dual-ingredient combination to help manage suspected bacterial problems in freshwater and saltwater treatment systems.
In older aquarium listings and hobby forums, this SMZ/TMP product may also be called Fish Sulfa, Fish Sulfa Forte, FISHBIOTIC SMZ/TMP, Aqua Sulfa, or Aqua-SMZ/TMP.

Aquarium keepers commonly use this combination when fish show symptoms associated with fin and tail rot, columnaris or cotton-wool-type patches, skin sores, ulcer-like lesions, bacterial hemorrhagic septicemia, pop-eye, cloudy eyes, and body-slime concerns.
These signs may involve susceptible bacteria such as Aeromonas, Vibrio, or Streptococcus.
SMZ/TMP combines two active ingredients that work together to help slow the growth of certain bacteria.
Used as directed, sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim work best alongside stable water parameters, strong aeration, clean treatment water, reduced stress, and appropriate aquarium husbandry.
Fix Sulfa comes as a consistent 960 mg scored tablet that can be divided, crushed, and dissolved.
It is available in bottles containing 30 or 60 tablets with clearly printed expiration dates, allowing aquarium keepers to choose a suitable quantity for one quarantine tank or a multi-tank fish room.
Begin treatment at the first signs of bacterial stress and use a hospital or quarantine tank whenever practical.
Fish Symptoms Aquarists Treat With Fix Sulfa
- Fin and tail rot with frayed or deteriorating fins
- Skin sores, ulcer-like lesions, and red streaks
- Pop-eye or bulging eyes
- Cloudy eyes
- Columnaris with a cotton-wool-type appearance
- Bacterial hemorrhagic septicemia
- Body-slime concerns associated with susceptible bacteria
- Lethargy, rapid breathing, or appetite loss that does not resolve after water-quality correction

Same Scored Tablet Form
Each tablet provides a consistent 960 mg total strength and can be divided, crushed, and dissolved according to the aquarium-water volume.
Flexible Bottle Sizes
Choose between 30-count and 60-count bottles for short treatment plans, quarantine systems, or larger multi-tank setups.
Benefits of Fix Sulfa for Fish
Dual-Action SMZ/TMP Combination
Fix Sulfa pairs sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim, a combination aquarium keepers use to help manage certain bacterial concerns in ornamental fish.
Made in the United States
Fix Sulfa is manufactured in the United States by Aqua Soma Labs as the current-production replacement for discontinued Fish Sulfa Forte products.
Support for Common Aquarium Problems
Aquarium keepers may choose Fish Sulfa tablets for fin and tail rot, columnaris-type patches, cotton-wool-type signs, ulcers, pop-eye, cloudy eyes, and persistent bacterial symptoms.
External and Internal Bacterial Signs
SMZ/TMP may be used in a hospital tank for visible sores and fin damage or when lethargy and appetite loss occur together with suspected bacterial stress.
Consistent 960 mg Tablet Strength
Each scored tablet provides a predictable amount of sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim, helping aquarium keepers plan repeatable amounts for different water volumes.
Intended for Ornamental Fish
Fix Sulfa is formulated and labeled for ornamental aquarium fish and provides a countable tablet format for treatment-tank use.
Helpful for Hospital Tanks
A separate hospital or quarantine tank allows closer observation, more accurate treatment, and reduced exposure of healthy tank mates.
Usage Guidelines & Instructions
These steps follow the supplied Fix Sulfa 960 bottle-label directions for SMZ/TMP use in ornamental aquarium fish.
Quick Usage Summary
Dissolve one tablet and add it for every 40 gallons or approximately 151 litres of treatment water.
Repeat every 24 hours with a partial water change between treatments for 5 to 10 days.
Discontinue use if no improvement is noted after five days.
Before You Dose
Measure the Actual Water Volume
Calculate the real volume of water being treated rather than relying only on the aquarium's advertised capacity.

Use a Hospital or Quarantine Tank
Treat affected fish in a separate system whenever practical for better control and closer observation.
Remove Carbon and Turn Off UV
Remove activated carbon and other chemical filtration media before treatment.
Switch off ultraviolet sterilization because these systems may reduce treatment availability in the water.
Increase Aeration
Increase surface agitation and aeration while keeping the treatment-tank temperature stable.
Directions for Use
Dissolve and Add the Treatment
Fully dissolve one tablet in a small cup of aquarium water.
Add the dissolved mixture evenly throughout the treatment tank at a rate of one tablet per 40 gallons or approximately 151 litres.
Repeat Every 24 Hours
Repeat treatment once every 24 hours.
Perform a partial water change between treatments to maintain suitable water quality.
Complete Treatment and Monitor Progress
Continue treatment for 5 to 10 days according to the current bottle label.
Monitor appetite, swimming behavior, breathing, fin condition, sores, and signs of stress.
Discontinue use if no improvement is noted after five days.
If fish appear worse or develop severe stress, stop treatment and seek aquatic veterinary advice.
Post-Treatment Cleanup
After treatment is complete, perform a partial water change and resume normal filtration.
Replace activated carbon or other chemical media if they were removed.
Continue monitoring ammonia, nitrite, temperature, and fish behavior for several days.
Fix Sulfa Amounts by Aquarium Size
| Tank volume | Fix Sulfa 960 amount | How to measure |
|---|---|---|
| 10 gallons (38 L) | ¼ tablet | Divide the scored tablet or add one-quarter of a fully dissolved tablet |
| 20 gallons (76 L) | ½ tablet | Divide the scored tablet or add one-half of a fully dissolved tablet |
| 40 gallons (151 L) | 1 tablet | Dissolve one complete tablet according to the label standard |
| 80 gallons (303 L) | 2 tablets | Dissolve two complete tablets |
| 120 gallons (454 L) | 3 tablets | Dissolve three complete tablets |
What to Expect During Treatment
Days 1 to 2
Fish may hide, eat less, or produce slightly cloudy treatment water. Maintain the treatment schedule and keep aeration strong.
Days 3 to 5
Look for sores and red patches that stop spreading, returning appetite, improved activity, and steadier breathing.
Days 5 to 10
Complete the recommended treatment period. After treatment, perform a partial water change and restore activated carbon if normally used.
What You Need for Treatment
- A separate hospital or quarantine tank
- A suitable aquarium heater
- An air stone or established sponge filter
- An ammonia and nitrite test kit
- A suitable water conditioner or dechlorinator
- A small net for gentle transfer
- A clean cup for dissolving and measuring the treatment
Pro Tip: Hospital-tank treatment helps protect the display aquarium, keeps the amount consistent, and makes it easier to maintain ammonia and nitrite at safe levels during recovery.
How Fix Sulfa Works
Each Fix Sulfa tablet combines sulfamethoxazole 800 mg with trimethoprim 160 mg, providing a total SMZ/TMP strength of 960 mg.
When dissolved and added to aquarium water according to the label, the two active ingredients work together to help slow the growth of certain susceptible bacteria.
This combination is commonly used by aquarium keepers for suspected bacterial concerns involving fins, skin, sores, ulcers, eyes, and systemic signs in ornamental freshwater and saltwater fish.
Each tablet also contains standard inactive ingredients that help hold the tablet together, support storage stability, and allow the contents to disperse when dissolved in water.
Safety and Tank Notes
Individual fish may respond differently to treatment. Follow the current label and monitor fish and water quality closely throughout the treatment period.
Possible Side Effects in Fish
Possible temporary reactions include reduced appetite, mild lethargy, hiding behavior, and occasional water cloudiness.
If fish develop rapid gill movement, surface gasping, loss of balance, or remain on the bottom, stop treatment, increase aeration, and seek aquatic veterinary advice.
Stop Treatment If
Stop treatment when fish show severe stress, worsening symptoms, rapid gill movement, surface gasping, loss of balance, or a serious decline in activity.
Increase aeration immediately and consult an aquatic veterinarian if the signs do not stabilize.
Water Quality and Biofilter Awareness
Keep aeration strong and monitor ammonia and nitrite closely.
Perform partial water changes when necessary to keep the treatment system stable.
Filtration During Treatment
Remove activated carbon and other chemical filtration media before treatment.
Switch off ultraviolet sterilization and resume normal filtration only after treatment is complete.
Invertebrates and Display Tanks
If the aquarium contains shrimp, snails, corals, or other sensitive invertebrates, treat affected fish in a separate hospital tank whenever practical.
Do Not Mix Treatments
Avoid combining Fix Sulfa with other aquarium treatments unless the product label explicitly allows it or an aquatic veterinarian recommends it.
Important Warnings & Precautions
Aquarium use only: Fix Sulfa is intended for ornamental aquarium fish only.
Not for food fish: Do not use this product on fish raised for human consumption.
Handling: Avoid contact with the dissolved treatment. Wash your hands after handling and use suitable gloves when needed. Keep the tablet contents and dissolved product away from the skin and eyes.
Storage: Keep the container tightly closed in a cool, dry location protected from direct sunlight and moisture.
Keep out of reach of children and animals. Check the expiration date and do not use expired tablets.
Discontinue if no improvement: If no improvement is noted after five days, stop treatment and re-evaluate the diagnosis or seek aquatic veterinary advice.

Review Refund Policy →Frequently Asked Questions
What is Fix Sulfa used for?
Fix Sulfa is an SMZ/TMP antibacterial treatment for certain suspected bacterial problems in ornamental aquarium fish, including fin and tail rot, ulcers, columnaris-type signs, pop-eye, cloudy eyes, red streaking, and systemic bacterial stress.
What is Fish Sulfa Forte?
Fish Sulfa Forte was an aquarium SMZ/TMP product containing sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim. Fix Sulfa is the current Aqua Soma Labs replacement in the same combined 960 mg strength.
What is the difference between Fish Sulfa Forte and Fix Sulfa?
Fix Sulfa uses the same combination of sulfamethoxazole 800 mg and trimethoprim 160 mg associated with older Fish Sulfa Forte products. The main changes are the manufacturer, branding, packaging, and current production.
Is Fix Sulfa a replacement for Aqua-SMZ/TMP?
Fix Sulfa is presented as the current Aqua Soma Labs replacement for older Aqua Sulfa and Aqua-SMZ/TMP aquarium products.
Where can I buy SMZ/TMP fish tablets online?
Fix Sulfa 960 mg tablets can be ordered through this online store in 30-count or 60-count bottles and shipped according to the current store shipping policy.
What are the active ingredients in each tablet?
Each scored tablet contains sulfamethoxazole 800 mg and trimethoprim 160 mg, providing a combined strength of 960 mg.
What is the Fix Sulfa amount for fish?
The supplied label direction is one 960 mg tablet per 40 gallons or approximately 151 litres of treatment water.
How much Fix Sulfa should I use per gallon?
One tablet per 40 gallons equals approximately 24 mg of combined sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim per gallon. Follow the current bottle label rather than relying only on a calculated per-gallon amount.
How long should I treat with Fix Sulfa?
The supplied instructions describe treatment every 24 hours for 5 to 10 days, with a partial water change between treatments.
Discontinue treatment if no improvement is noted after five days.
How soon should I see improvement?
Improvement may appear within three to five days through sores that stop spreading, improved appetite, steadier breathing, and increased activity.
Stop treatment and seek professional guidance if fish worsen or no improvement appears by day five.
Should I treat in the main tank or a hospital tank?
A separate hospital or quarantine tank is preferred. This provides better treatment control, protects healthy tank mates, and reduces disturbance to the display aquarium.
Do I need to remove carbon or turn off UV?
Remove activated carbon and other chemical filtration media and switch off ultraviolet sterilization during treatment because these systems may reduce treatment availability in the water.
Will Fix Sulfa harm beneficial aquarium bacteria?
Antibacterial treatment may disturb biological filtration. Use a separate treatment system when possible and monitor ammonia and nitrite closely.
Can Fix Sulfa treat fungal, viral, or parasitic infections?
Fix Sulfa is an antibacterial treatment. It should not be expected to treat fungal, viral, or parasitic conditions.
Is Fix Sulfa safe for betta fish and small aquariums?
Small treatment tanks require careful measurement. Because each tablet is scored, it may be divided, or a complete tablet may be dissolved in a measured amount of water and the correct fraction added. Always follow the current bottle label.
Does Fix Sulfa work in saltwater aquariums?
Fix Sulfa is presented for ornamental fish in freshwater and saltwater treatment systems. Use a separate hospital tank when the display aquarium contains corals or sensitive invertebrates.
Can I combine Fix Sulfa with other fish treatments?
Do not combine Fix Sulfa with other treatments unless the label specifically permits the combination or an aquatic veterinarian recommends it.
What if my fish are not improving?
Discontinue treatment if no improvement is noted after five days. Re-evaluate the water quality and diagnosis and seek aquatic veterinary advice.
What should I do after finishing treatment?
Perform a partial water change, resume normal filtration, restore activated carbon or chemical media, and continue monitoring ammonia, nitrite, and fish behavior for several days.
How should I store and dispose of Fix Sulfa tablets?
Store tablets tightly closed in the original container in a cool, dry location protected from sunlight and moisture.
Follow the product label and applicable local requirements when disposing of unused tablets, treatment water, or filter media. Avoid releasing concentrated treatment into natural waterways.
Bottom Line
Fix Sulfa is an SMZ/TMP 960 mg antibacterial treatment containing sulfamethoxazole 800 mg and trimethoprim 160 mg for bacterial concerns in ornamental aquarium fish.
It is the current-production replacement for discontinued Thomas Labs Fish Sulfa Forte.
Dose according to water volume at one tablet per 40 gallons or approximately 151 litres, repeat every 24 hours with a partial water change between treatments, and continue for 5 to 10 days according to the current bottle label.
Reassess treatment at day five and discontinue use if no improvement is noted.

Fish Doxy 100mg (Doxycycline) | Fish Antibiotic
Regular price $43.99 Save $-43.99Fix Doxy (Fish Doxy) Doxycycline Tablets - 100 mg
Fix Doxy delivers doxycycline hyclate 100 mg per tablet for ornamental aquarium fish and non-food pet birds, made by Aqua Soma Labs. It is used when bacterial problems appear, such as fin and tail rot, columnaris (often seen as cotton wool disease), bacterial hemorrhagic septicemia, and other internal bacterial infections in freshwater and saltwater aquariums.
It is also chosen for racing pigeons and other pet birds during respiratory infections, mycoplasmosis (mycoplasma), or suspected chlamydiosis, also known as parrot fever, psittacosis, or ornithosis.
If you used to buy the discontinued Thomas Labs Fish Doxy, Aqua Doxy, or older Bird Biotic, Fix Doxy is the online replacement. It supplies the same doxycycline strength in bottles of 30 or 60 tablets with fresh expiration dates, and it is a straightforward option when you need doxycycline for birds or a fish doxycycline product to buy online.
Use Fix Doxy when you notice early signs of bacterial stress in your fish or pet birds. Common symptoms differ between species, so check the lists below to identify what to watch for.
Fish-Specific Symptoms
- Clamped or frayed fins (fin and tail rot)
- Slime disease, mouth fungus, or mouth rot
- Columnaris (cotton wool disease)
- Red or cloudy patches on the body
- Bacterial hemorrhagic septicemia
- Gill disease or labored gill movement
- Loss of appetite or hiding behavior

Order online and ship directly from our U.S. warehouse. Fix Doxy doxycycline 100 mg tablets are available to buy online with same-day dispatch on orders placed before 1:30 p.m. CT, Monday through Friday.
Fish Doxy vs Fix Doxy: What Changed?
If you used to buy Fish Doxy, Aqua Doxy, or Bird Biotic from Thomas Labs, here is what stayed the same and what is different with Fix Doxy from Aqua Soma Labs.
Same Doxycycline
Fix Doxy delivers the same doxycycline hyclate 100 mg per tablet that was used in the original Fish Doxy and Bird Biotic products.
New Manufacturer
Fix Doxy is made by Aqua Soma Labs, replacing Thomas Labs, which discontinued its Fish Doxy and Bird Biotic lines.
Same Tablet Form
100 mg tablets with the same dosing style of one tablet per 15 gallons, so switching from Fish Doxy to Fix Doxy requires no changes to your routine.
Updated Packaging & Labeling
New bottle design and labeling under the Fix brand, with the same doxycycline formula and fresh expiration dates.
Benefits of Fix Doxy for Fish & Birds
Targets Common Bacterial Problems
Helps manage common bacterial problems such as fin and tail rot, columnaris, gill disease, septicemia, internal bacterial infections, and avian respiratory infections caused by certain Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria in both freshwater and saltwater aquariums.
Made in the United States
Fix Doxy is manufactured by Aqua Soma Labs and ships from a U.S. warehouse with fresh expiration dates, so you receive a recently made product ready for your tank or aviary.
One Solution for Fish & Birds
Fix Doxy is formulated for ornamental aquarium fish and non-food pet birds, so one doxycycline product covers tanks and aviaries. Use it for individual treatment or a whole flock as appropriate.
Fixed 100 mg Tablets
Each tablet delivers a fixed 100 mg doxycycline amount. These fish doxycycline tablets make it easier to follow the charts and repeat treatments accurately across different tank volumes or bird sizes.
Flexible Use in Tanks & Feed
Tablets are water-soluble and easy to crush, so you can dissolve them in a hospital or quarantine tank, or mix them with food or drinking water as directed. This helps when you need to treat sensitive fish or birds.
Available in 30-Count and 60-Count Bottles
Choose a 30-count bottle for a single treatment or a 60-count bottle for larger tanks, multiple birds, or repeat treatments, so you always have doxycycline on hand when needed.
Direct Fish Doxy & Bird Biotic Replacement
Fix Doxy replaces the discontinued Fish Doxy from Thomas Labs, Aqua Doxy, and Bird Biotic products. It delivers the same doxycycline hyclate 100 mg per tablet that hobbyists and breeders used before those lines were discontinued.
Usage Guidelines & Instructions
Prepare a Separate Treatment Area
For fish, set up a hospital or quarantine tank with clean, dechlorinated water so you can treat without disturbing the main display tank or its biofilter.
Any aquarium doxycycline treatment works best in a separate tank, so remove activated carbon, resins, and UV sterilizers during dosing, as they can strip doxycycline from the water.
Calculate and Give the Dose
Fish: Check the dosing instructions on your Fix Doxy bottle. Label directions for 100 mg tablets typically call for one tablet, or 100 mg, per 15 gallons or 57 litres of water, repeated every 24 hours for several days.
Pre-dissolve the tablet in a small cup of tank water, then add it evenly around the treatment tank.
Birds: For companion birds, the amount is based on the bird's weight or the volume of treated drinking water. Crush the tablet and mix with soft food or a measured amount of drinking water only as directed on the packaging or by an avian veterinarian, making sure the bird receives the full intended amount.
Monitor Progress and Water Quality
Watch appetite, breathing, activity level, and fin or feather condition every day. If symptoms worsen or no improvement is seen after several days, contact a veterinarian.
For fish, perform partial water changes between doses if water quality declines, then re-dose for the new water volume.
Continue treatment for the full number of days recommended on the label, usually around 5 to 10 days, unless your veterinarian advises otherwise, and never exceed label directions.
Fix Doxy Amounts by Aquarium Size
| Tank volume | 100 mg tablets per use |
|---|---|
| 15 gallons (57 L) | 1 tablet |
| 30 gallons (114 L) | 2 tablets |
| 45 gallons (170 L) | 3 tablets |
| 60 gallons (227 L) | 4 tablets |
| 75 gallons (284 L) | 5 tablets |
What to Expect During Treatment
Days 1 to 2
Fish may hide or eat less, and the water can look slightly discolored. This is normal early on. Keep dosing on schedule and keep aeration strong.
Days 3 to 5
Look for signs it is working: sores and red patches stop spreading, appetite starts to return, and breathing steadies.
Days 5 to 10
Even if the fish are improving, finish the full number of days so the infection does not return. Afterward, run a partial water change and put activated carbon back in to clear leftover doxycycline.
What You Need for Treatment
A little setup before the first dose saves trouble later.
- A separate hospital or quarantine tank, so you are not treating the whole display
- A heater and an air stone or sponge filter for steady temperature and strong aeration
- An ammonia and nitrite test kit to keep tabs on water quality
- A dechlorinator for water changes between doses
- A small net and a clean cup for gentle transfer and for dissolving each tablet
Pro Tip: Keep a few extra Fix Doxy tablets on hand so you always have them ready at the first sign of bacterial stress. A quarantine tank with a heater and sponge filter makes treatment faster and protects your main system.
How Fix Doxy Works
Fix Doxy uses doxycycline hyclate 100 mg per tablet to help control certain Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria linked with fin and tail rot, mouth rot, columnaris, gill disease, septicemia, and avian respiratory infections.
The tablets dissolve readily in aquarium water, and they can also be crushed and mixed with soft food or drinking water, which spreads the dose evenly through a treatment tank or across a flock.
Safety and Tank Notes
When used as directed, Fix Doxy usually causes no problems in ornamental fish and pet birds. As with any doxycycline product, incorrect amounts or prolonged use can increase the risk of side effects.
Fish
Doxycycline-based fish treatments may cause temporary stress or hiding behavior, mild water discoloration, and reduced appetite during treatment.
If fish show severe distress such as rapid gill movement, loss of balance, or gasping at the surface, stop treatment and seek aquatic veterinary advice.
Birds
When doxycycline is given in food or drinking water, potential reactions can include decreased appetite, lethargy, or changes in droppings if the amount is too high or the bird is sensitive.
If your bird appears fluffed up, inactive, or stops eating, discontinue use and contact an avian veterinarian.
Invertebrates
Do not use Fix Doxy in tanks that contain shrimp, snails, or other invertebrates, as strong treatments may harm them.
Treat fish in a separate hospital tank whenever possible.
Safe Use in Your System
Whenever possible, treat fish in a hospital or quarantine tank, remove activated carbon and UV sterilizers, and follow label directions for dose and duration.
Do not mix Fix Doxy with other treatments unless advised by a veterinarian.
Important Safety Warning
Fix Doxy is intended for ornamental aquarium fish and non-food pet birds only. It is not for animals raised for food.
Store the product in a cool, dry place away from children and pets. Always follow label directions.

Regular price $39.99 Save $-39.99Fish Azithromycin 250mg | Aquarium Fish Antibiotic
Fish Zithro (Fix Zithro) supplies 250 mg of azithromycin per tablet and is an antibacterial treatment for ornamental aquarium fish and non-food pet birds.
It is often selected to help manage suspected bacterial problems such as fin and tail rot, columnaris, gill disease, and early respiratory signs in pet birds.
Often called Bird Zithro or Fish Zithro in the hobby community, Fix Zithro is a replacement for the discontinued Thomas Labs Bird Zithro, Fish Zithro, and Aqua Zithro 250 mg products.

Same Crushable Tablet Form
Fix Zithro uses a crushable tablet format that can be dissolved in aquarium water or administered to birds exactly as directed by an avian veterinarian.
12-Count and 30-Count Options
Choose a 12-count bottle for smaller setups or occasional use, or a 30-count bottle for multiple tanks or veterinarian-directed aviary management.
Benefits of Fix Zithro for Fish & Birds
Bacterial Support for Fish & Birds
Fix Zithro provides azithromycin for ornamental fish and non-food pet birds. It may help manage fin and tail rot, columnaris, gill disease, and early respiratory or ornithosis-complex signs when used as directed.
Ready to Use Promptly
Keeping Fix Zithro properly stored means treatment is available when early bacterial signs appear. Avian use should still follow professional veterinary guidance.
Helps With Internal and External Problems
Azithromycin may be used for skin lesions, ulcers, fin damage, and internal bacterial concerns in a hospital tank, as well as part of a veterinarian-directed plan for respiratory or Mycoplasma-related concerns in birds.
Consistent 250 mg Tablets
Each tablet contains a consistent 250 mg amount, simplifying treatment calculations across different aquarium volumes.
Easy to Prepare
Crushable tablets can be dissolved in aquarium water or administered to birds in the exact form and amount directed by an avian veterinarian.
Freshwater, Saltwater & Aviary Setups
Fix Zithro can be used in properly prepared freshwater or marine treatment systems and may be considered for pigeons and ornamental birds under veterinary supervision.
Ideal for Hospital Tanks and Quarantine
A separate hospital tank or treatment enclosure reduces unnecessary exposure of healthy animals and allows more accurate observation and treatment control.
Usage Guidelines & Instructions
Set Up a Separate Treatment Area
Move affected fish to a dedicated hospital or quarantine tank.
Where practical, birds requiring treatment should be separated into an appropriate treatment enclosure under veterinary guidance.
Separation helps protect healthy tank mates or flock members and allows more accurate observation and treatment.
Directions for Fish Aquariums
Dissolve one 250 mg tablet per 10 gallons or 38 litres of water in the hospital tank.
Mix the tablet in a clean cup of aquarium water first, then distribute the prepared solution evenly around the treatment tank.
Repeat the treatment every 24 hours for 5 to 7 days while closely monitoring water quality and fish behavior.
Follow the current bottle label or an aquatic veterinarian's instructions when they differ from this quick-reference information.
Use in Pet Birds Under Veterinary Guidance
Administer Fix Zithro to pigeons and other non-food pet birds only under the direction of an avian veterinarian.
The veterinarian should determine the correct amount for the bird's species, weight, condition, frequency, and treatment duration.
Tablets may be given whole, divided, or crushed and mixed with food or drinking water only as specifically instructed.
Maintain Water Quality & Finish Treatment
Perform partial water changes when needed between treatments to keep ammonia and nitrite low.
Maintain strong aeration throughout treatment.
Continue for the complete recommended duration, even if the animal appears better, unless a veterinarian advises otherwise.
If no improvement appears after several days, or symptoms worsen, consult an aquatic or avian professional.
Fix Zithro Amounts by Aquarium Size
| Tank volume | Azithromycin per use | 250 mg tablets |
|---|---|---|
| 10 gallons (38 L) | 250 mg | 1 tablet |
| 20 gallons (76 L) | 500 mg | 2 tablets |
| 30 gallons (114 L) | 750 mg | 3 tablets |
| 40 gallons (151 L) | 1,000 mg | 4 tablets |
| 55 gallons (208 L) | Approximately 1,375 mg | 5 to 6 tablets |
Amounts for Pet Birds
Bird amounts are determined by body weight rather than aquarium-water volume, so there is no universal bird chart.
The appropriate amount depends on the species, body weight, condition being treated, administration method, and overall health of the bird.
An avian veterinarian must determine the amount, frequency, and duration.
Do not estimate an avian amount independently or use the aquarium chart for birds.
What to Expect During Treatment
Days 1 to 2
Fish may hide or eat less, and treatment water may look slightly cloudy. Maintain the treatment schedule and keep aeration strong.
Days 3 to 5
Look for fin damage or red patches that stop spreading, returning appetite, and steadier breathing. Seek professional guidance if the fish worsen or no improvement appears by day five.
Days 5 to 7
Complete the recommended treatment even when improvement appears. Afterward, perform a partial water change and restore activated carbon.
What You Need for Treatment
Prepare the following supplies before starting treatment:
- A separate hospital or quarantine tank
- A heater suitable for the fish species
- An air stone or established sponge filter
- An ammonia and nitrite test kit
- A suitable aquarium dechlorinator
- A small net for careful transfer
- A clean cup for dissolving each tablet
Pro Tip: Quarantine affected fish and birds away from healthy companions whenever practical. A dedicated treatment setup makes observation, water changes, and treatment control easier while reducing unnecessary exposure.
How Fix Zithro Works
Azithromycin is the active ingredient in Fix Zithro, supplied at 250 mg per tablet.
In practical terms, azithromycin helps slow or stop the growth of certain susceptible bacteria affecting the gills, skin, and respiratory tract of ornamental fish and non-food pet birds.
The remainder of each tablet consists of standard inactive ingredients that help hold the tablet together, maintain stability during storage, and allow the tablet to disperse when mixed with aquarium water.
Bird administration should follow the exact preparation and delivery method supplied by an avian veterinarian.
Safety and Tank Notes
When used as directed, Fix Zithro generally causes no problems in ornamental fish and non-food pet birds.
Incorrect amounts, unnecessarily prolonged use, or repeated antibacterial treatment can increase the risk of side effects and antibacterial resistance.
Fish
Azithromycin-based aquarium treatment may cause temporary hiding, mild water cloudiness, reduced activity, or decreased appetite.
If severe distress appears, including rapid gill movement, loss of balance, surface gasping, or remaining on the bottom, stop treatment, improve aeration, perform an appropriate water change, and seek aquatic veterinary advice.
Birds
Possible reactions may include reduced appetite, loose or changed droppings, and lethargy, particularly when the amount is too high or the bird is sensitive.
If a bird becomes fluffed up, inactive, has difficulty breathing, or stops eating, discontinue treatment and contact an avian veterinarian.
Invertebrates
Do not use Fix Zithro in display aquariums containing shrimp, snails, corals, or other sensitive invertebrates whenever a separate treatment tank is available.
Strong antibacterial treatments may harm sensitive species or disrupt the aquarium ecosystem.
Safe Use in Your System
Treat fish in a hospital or quarantine tank whenever possible.
Remove activated carbon and switch off UV sterilization during treatment. Monitor ammonia, nitrite, oxygen, and temperature closely.
Do not combine Fix Zithro with other antibacterial products unless specifically advised by a veterinarian.
Important Safety Warning
Fix Zithro is intended for ornamental aquarium fish and non-food pet birds only. It is not intended for animals raised for food.
Store tablets in their original container in a cool, dry location protected from direct sunlight, excessive heat, and moisture.
Keep the container tightly closed and out of reach of children and animals.
Always follow the directions printed on the current product label.

Review Refund Policy →Frequently Asked Questions
What is Fix Zithro used for in fish and birds?
Fix Zithro contains azithromycin and is used for certain bacterial concerns in ornamental aquarium fish. These may include fin and tail rot, columnaris, gill disease, red or cloudy body areas, and certain internal bacterial problems.
In non-food pet birds, it may form part of a veterinarian-directed plan for certain respiratory, Mycoplasma-related, or Chlamydia psittaci concerns.
What is the difference between Bird Zithro and Fix Zithro?
Fix Zithro is the current Aqua Soma Labs product replacing discontinued Thomas Labs Bird Zithro and Fish Zithro products. It provides the familiar 250 mg azithromycin tablet strength in updated packaging.
Is Fix Zithro a replacement for Aqua Zithro?
Fix Zithro is presented as the current Aqua Soma Labs replacement for older Aqua Zithro products and provides 250 mg of azithromycin per tablet.
Is Fix Zithro the same as Fish Zithro?
Fix Zithro is intended as the updated replacement for discontinued Fish Zithro products, with the same 250 mg azithromycin tablet strength and updated branding.
Where can I buy azithromycin for fish online?
Fix Zithro 250 mg tablets can be ordered through this online store in 12-count or 30-count bottles and shipped according to the current store shipping policy.
Is azithromycin stronger than amoxicillin for fish?
Azithromycin and amoxicillin are different antibacterial ingredients with different activity profiles. One is not automatically better or stronger for every infection. The appropriate choice depends on the suspected organism and the condition being treated.
How do I know if my fish might need azithromycin?
Possible bacterial signs include frayed fins, fuzzy or red body patches, cloudy areas, gill irritation, pop-eye, appetite loss, and reduced activity.
Similar signs may also be caused by parasites, fungal conditions, injuries, or poor water quality, so professional assessment is recommended when the cause is unclear.
Is azithromycin for birds the same as fish azithromycin?
Fix Zithro contains azithromycin, but bird administration is based on body weight, species, condition, and veterinary instructions. Aquarium calculations must not be used for birds.
What size aquarium can one Fix Zithro tablet treat?
The supplied aquarium guideline uses one 250 mg tablet per 10 gallons or approximately 38 litres of treatment water.
Is fish azithromycin available in 500 mg?
This Fix Zithro product is supplied in a 250 mg tablet strength. A 500 mg treatment amount would require two 250 mg tablets according to the supplied aquarium chart.
How long should I treat with Fix Zithro?
The supplied directions describe one treatment every 24 hours for approximately 5 to 7 days. Always follow the current bottle label or veterinary instructions.
How soon should I see improvement?
Improvement may appear within three to five days through steadier breathing, returning appetite, improved activity, and bacterial lesions that stop spreading.
Seek professional advice if the animal becomes worse or no improvement appears after several days.
What should I do after finishing treatment?
Follow the product label, perform an appropriate partial water change, and restore activated carbon if normally used. Continue monitoring water quality and the condition of the treated fish.
Can I use Fix Zithro in my main community or reef tank?
A separate hospital tank is preferred. This reduces unnecessary exposure of healthy fish and sensitive invertebrates and helps protect the display aquarium's biological filtration.
Does Fix Zithro work in saltwater aquariums?
Fix Zithro is presented for use in properly prepared freshwater and saltwater treatment tanks. A separate hospital tank is especially important for marine systems containing corals or invertebrates.
Can Fix Zithro be used for racing pigeons?
Fix Zithro may be considered for non-food pet birds, including racing pigeons, only under the direction of an avian veterinarian who determines the correct amount and duration.
Can I combine Fix Zithro with other fish treatments?
Do not combine Fix Zithro with other antibacterial or aquarium treatments unless a qualified veterinarian specifically recommends the combination.
Can Fix Zithro treat fungal, viral, or parasitic infections?
Fix Zithro is an antibacterial product. It should not be expected to treat fungal, viral, or parasitic conditions unless a professional has identified a separate appropriate reason for its use.
Is Fix Zithro safe for betta fish and small aquariums?
Small aquariums require careful volume calculations. The supplied guide is one 250 mg tablet per 10 gallons, so a smaller tank may require an accurately divided amount. Follow the bottle label or consult an aquatic veterinarian rather than estimating.
How should I store and dispose of Fix Zithro tablets?
Store tablets tightly closed in a cool, dry place protected from direct sunlight and moisture.
Follow the current label and applicable local requirements when disposing of unused tablets, treatment water, or filter media. Avoid releasing concentrated treatment into natural waterways.

Fish Mox Amoxicillin 250mg & 500mg | Fish Antibiotic
Regular price $24.99 Save $-24.99Fish Mox Amoxicillin 250mg & 500mg | Fish Antibiotic
Fish Mox (Fix Mox) is a fish amoxicillin treatment in 250 mg and 500 mg capsules for ornamental aquarium fish and non-food pet birds.
In freshwater and saltwater tanks it is used for common bacterial problems including dropsy or body swelling, fin and tail rot, columnaris, hemorrhagic septicemia, red streaks, gill disease, swim bladder infections, abscesses, and skin ulcers.
With an avian veterinarian's guidance, the same capsules can be part of an amoxicillin plan for problems such as crop infections and salmonella or paratyphoid in pigeons and other pet birds.
Fix Mox gives you a 250 mg or 500 mg strength, so you can match it to the job: a small hospital tank, a larger community aquarium, or, with veterinary input, a loft or aviary.
It is the current replacement for the discontinued Thomas Labs Fish Mox, also known as fishmox. The 250 mg option stands in for the original strength, and the 500 mg option covers what aquarists knew as Fish Mox Forte and Aqua Mox.
Stock ships from our United States warehouse with fresh expiration dates and clearly printed strengths.
Start treatment early, at the first signs of bacterial stress. Those signs differ between fish and birds, so use the lists below to know what to watch for.
Fish-Specific Symptoms
- Fin and tail rot, including frayed or rotting fins
- Dropsy or body swelling
- Pop-eye or bulging eyes
- Red streaks or open sores on the body
- Skin ulcers and abscesses
- Columnaris and gill disease
- Lethargy, rapid breathing, or appetite loss
Bird-Specific Symptoms Under Veterinary Guidance
- Crop infections
- Suspected salmonella or paratyphoid
- Fluffed-up feathers, lethargy, or inactivity
- Decreased appetite
- Loose or changed droppings
- Labored or difficult breathing
For birds, only use Fix Mox when an avian veterinarian has recommended amoxicillin for a specific problem. Catching an infection early, paired with clean water and good housing, gives your fish and birds the best chance to recover.
Order online and enjoy same-day dispatch on orders placed before 1:30 p.m. CT, Monday through Friday. Fix Mox ships directly from our United States warehouse via USPS or UPS.
Fish Mox vs Fix Mox: What Changed?
If you used to buy Fish Mox, Fish Mox Forte, or Aqua Mox, those brands are now discontinued or hard to find. Fix Mox from Aqua Soma Labs uses the same amoxicillin at the same strengths and steps in as a direct replacement for aquarium use.
Same Amoxicillin Inside
Fish Mox and Fix Mox both contain amoxicillin at 250 mg or 500 mg per capsule, the strengths aquarists have relied on for years.
Updated Labeling & Packaging
Fix Mox carries clear, modern labeling, with usage guidance, amoxicillin strength, and storage notes printed on the bottle.
Same Capsule Form
Pull-apart capsules dissolve in tank water, matching the format aquarists knew from Thomas Labs Fish Mox or Aqua Mox.
Fresh Stock & Current Expiration Dates
Every bottle ships with recent production and clearly printed expiration dates.
Benefits of Fix Mox for Fish & Birds
Covers Common Fish Infections
As an aquarium antibacterial treatment, amoxicillin is used against many of the bacteria behind dropsy, fin and tail rot, red streaks, gill disease, swim bladder infections, and skin ulcers in freshwater and saltwater tanks.
Handles External and Internal Problems
Use it for outward signs such as frayed fins, open sores, or red patches, and for internal infections such as hemorrhagic septicemia that bring swelling, lethargy, or appetite loss. Treat affected fish in a hospital tank.
Flexible 250 mg and 500 mg Strengths
Amoxicillin in a 500 mg or 250 mg capsule lets you scale from a small quarantine tank to a larger system. A common guide is 250 mg per 10 gallons or 500 mg per 20 gallons.
Keep a Bottle on Hand
Bacterial problems move quickly, so keeping Fix Mox stored properly means it is available at the first sign of a bacterial problem in your aquarium.
Easy to Prepare for Fish and Vet-Directed Birds
The capsules pull apart, and the contents dissolve in tank water. Under avian veterinary guidance, the contents may be mixed into soft food or water for birds with specific bacterial problems.
Built for Hospital and Quarantine Tanks
A separate treatment tank lets you remove carbon and UV, maintain stable water quality, and watch sick fish without treating healthy tank mates or sensitive invertebrates.
A Modern Swap for Discontinued Brands
When older Thomas Labs Fish Mox or Aqua Mox products are unavailable, Fix Mox provides a modern replacement with clear strength labels and fresh stock.
Usage Guidelines & Instructions
Set Up a Separate Treatment Area
Move sick fish to a dedicated hospital or quarantine tank before you dose. Take out activated carbon and switch off UV sterilizers, since both can remove amoxicillin from the water.
A 20% to 25% water change before the first dose lowers stress and starts treatment with cleaner water.
Directions for Fish Aquariums
Follow the label guide of 250 mg amoxicillin per 10 gallons or 38 litres, or 500 mg per 20 gallons or 76 litres.
Open the capsule, stir the powder into a cup of tank water, then pour it evenly around the treatment tank.
Repeat every 24 hours for 5 to 10 days, with a partial water change between doses. If nothing improves after about five days, or fish look worse, stop and ask an aquatic veterinarian.
Use in Pet Birds Under Veterinary Guidance
Use Fix Mox in pigeons and other non-food pet birds only when an avian veterinarian directs it.
The veterinarian sets the correct amount for the bird's weight, how often to give it, and how long to continue.
Capsules may be opened into soft food or drinking water so the bird receives the full intended amount, but follow the veterinarian's exact instructions rather than estimating.
Maintain Water Quality and Finish the Treatment
During treatment, monitor ammonia, nitrite, temperature, and aeration.
Finish the full treatment unless a veterinarian says otherwise. Stopping too early may allow symptoms to return.
Afterward, perform a partial water change and restore activated carbon to help remove remaining amoxicillin.
Fix Mox Amounts by Aquarium Size
| Tank volume | Amoxicillin per use | 250 mg capsules | 500 mg capsules |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10 gallons (38 L) | 250 mg | 1 capsule | Not applicable |
| 20 gallons (76 L) | 500 mg | 2 capsules | 1 capsule |
| 30 gallons (114 L) | 750 mg | 3 capsules | 1 capsule plus one 250 mg capsule |
| 40 gallons (151 L) | 1,000 mg | 4 capsules | 2 capsules |
| 55 gallons (208 L) | Approximately 1,375 mg | 5 to 6 capsules | Approximately 3 capsules |
What to Expect During Treatment
Days 1 to 2
Fish may hide or eat less, and the water may appear slightly cloudy. Keep dosing on schedule and maintain strong aeration.
Days 3 to 5
Look for sores or red patches that stop spreading, returning appetite, and steadier breathing. If there is no change by day five, or fish look worse, seek aquatic veterinary advice.
Days 5 to 10
Even when fish improve, complete the recommended treatment. After treatment, perform a partial water change and restore activated carbon.
What You Need for Treatment
A little preparation before the first dose saves trouble later.
- A separate hospital or quarantine tank so the full display aquarium is not treated
- A heater and air stone or sponge filter for stable temperature and strong aeration
- An ammonia and nitrite test kit for monitoring water quality
- A dechlorinator for water changes between doses
- A small net and clean cup for transferring fish and preparing each dose
Pro Tip: Treat sick fish in a separate hospital tank rather than the main display whenever possible. This protects the main biological filter and sensitive invertebrates while concentrating the treatment where it is needed.
How Fix Mox Works
Each Fix Mox capsule contains amoxicillin trihydrate at a strength of 250 mg or 500 mg.
Amoxicillin is an antibacterial used against many Gram-positive and some Gram-negative bacteria, including bacteria associated with fin and tail rot, skin ulcers, red streaks, and certain gill infections in ornamental fish.
Alongside the amoxicillin, each capsule contains standard ingredients that hold the capsule contents together and help them disperse properly in aquarium water or, for birds under veterinary guidance, in soft food.
Safety and Tank Notes
When used at the correct amount, Fix Mox usually causes no problems for ornamental fish or pet birds. The risk of side effects increases with excessive amounts, unnecessarily prolonged treatment, or use in an already severely stressed animal.
Unnecessary or repeated use can also contribute to antibacterial resistance.
Fish
Amoxicillin may cause temporary hiding, mild water cloudiness, or reduced appetite during treatment.
If a fish shows rapid gill movement, loss of balance, surface gasping, or remains on the bottom, stop treatment, improve aeration, add clean dechlorinated water, and contact an aquatic veterinarian.
Birds
When mixed into food or drinking water, amoxicillin may cause reduced appetite, loose or changed droppings, or lethargy, especially if the amount is too high or the bird is sensitive.
A fluffed-up or inactive bird, or one that has difficulty breathing or stops eating, should stop treatment and receive avian veterinary attention.
Invertebrates
Do not use Fix Mox in display tanks containing shrimp, snails, or other sensitive invertebrates.
Move affected fish to a separate hospital or quarantine tank whenever possible.
Safe Use in Your System
Remove activated carbon and switch off UV sterilization during treatment. Monitor ammonia, nitrite, temperature, and oxygen levels.
Do not combine Fix Mox with other treatments unless a veterinarian specifically advises it.
Important Safety & Storage Information
Fix Mox is for aquarium and ornamental fish and non-food pet birds only. It is not for animals raised for food.
If you are sensitive to penicillins, avoid direct contact with the capsule contents. Wash your hands after handling and wear suitable gloves when needed.
Store the capsules in their original container in a cool, dry location at 59–86°F or 15–30°C. Protect them from moisture and direct sunlight, keep the lid closed, and store out of reach of children and animals.

Fish Fluconazole 100mg (Fish Flucon) | Fish Antifungal
Regular price $51.99 Save $-51.99Fish Fluconazole 100mg (Fish Flucon) | Fish Antifungal
Fish Flucon (Fix Flucon) is a fluconazole-based antifungal treatment formulated for ornamental aquarium fish.
Each tablet contains 100 mg of fluconazole and is designed to dissolve in treatment water for aquarium fish showing signs consistent with a susceptible fungal problem.
Fix Flucon is commonly considered for topical fungal growths visible on the skin, fins, mouth area, or damaged tissue, as well as certain systemic fungal concerns affecting ornamental fish.
Aquarium keepers may recognize this type of product under older names such as Fish Flucon, Fish Fluconazole, Aqua Flucon, or aquarium fluconazole.
Fix Flucon is the current Aqua Soma Labs version supplied in a clearly labeled 100 mg tablet strength.
Fluconazole is an antifungal ingredient rather than an antibacterial. It is intended for susceptible fungal organisms and should not be expected to treat ordinary bacterial fin rot, columnaris, parasites, viral disease, or poor-water-quality problems.
Fungal growth often appears after an injury, stress event, poor water conditions, or another disease has damaged the fish's protective skin and slime coat.
Correcting water quality, reducing stress, maintaining suitable temperature, and identifying the underlying cause remain essential parts of treatment.
Begin by moving the affected fish to a separate hospital or quarantine tank whenever possible.
Visible External Signs
- White or gray cotton-like growth on the skin
- Fuzzy growth around damaged fins or wounds
- Fungal growth on an injured mouth area
- Pale or discolored patches that appear raised or wool-like
- Fungal growth around an ulcer or damaged scale
- Fin deterioration accompanied by visible fuzzy material
- Egg fungus in a separate breeding or treatment setup
Possible Systemic or Advanced Signs
- Persistent loss of appetite
- Progressive weight loss
- Reduced activity or unusual hiding
- Loss of normal coloration
- Abnormal or circular swimming
- Bulging eyes associated with a wider health problem
- Recurring lesions that do not improve after water correction
Use Fix Flucon alongside stable water conditions, strong aeration, suitable nutrition, and careful daily observation.
When the cause is uncertain, or the fish is deteriorating rapidly, consult an aquatic veterinarian or experienced fish-health professional.

Fish Flucon vs Fix Flucon: What Changed?
Aquarium keepers who previously purchased Fish Flucon, Fish Fluconazole, or similar aquarium fluconazole products can use the comparison below to understand the current Fix Flucon presentation.
Fluconazole 100 mg
Each Fix Flucon tablet provides 100 mg of fluconazole for aquarium antifungal use.
Aqua Soma Labs Fix Line
Fix Flucon is supplied under the Aqua Soma Labs Fix product line with updated branding and packaging.
Dissolvable Treatment Form
The tablet can be pre-dissolved in aquarium water before being distributed throughout a hospital tank.
10-Count Supply
The compact bottle is suited to a dedicated hospital tank, smaller aquarium setup, or short label-directed treatment plan.
Benefits of Fix Flucon for Aquarium Fish
Targeted Antifungal Ingredient
Fluconazole is formulated to target susceptible fungal organisms rather than bacteria, viruses, or parasites.
External and Systemic Fungal Support
Fix Flucon may be considered for visible fungal growth and certain deeper fungal concerns when the suspected organism is sensitive to fluconazole.
Consistent 100 mg Tablets
Each tablet supplies a fixed 100 mg amount, helping aquarium keepers calculate treatment according to the actual hospital-tank water volume.
Easy to Pre-Dissolve
Tablets can be mixed in a clean cup of aquarium water before being added evenly throughout the treatment system.
Useful for Hospital Tanks
A separate treatment tank allows closer observation while protecting healthy fish, sensitive invertebrates, and the display aquarium.
Freshwater and Marine Treatment Setups
Fix Flucon may be used in an appropriately prepared freshwater or saltwater hospital tank when consistent with the current label.
Clear Antifungal Purpose
The product provides an antifungal option for situations where visible growth or other signs suggest fungus rather than a bacterial or parasitic condition.
Usage Guidelines & Instructions
Quick Usage Summary
Pre-dissolve one 100 mg tablet for every 5 gallons or approximately 19 litres of treatment water.
Administer once every 24 hours for five consecutive days according to the current product directions.
Discontinue treatment and reassess the diagnosis if no improvement is noted after five days.
Confirm That the Problem Appears Fungal
Look for raised white, gray, or cotton-like growth attached to damaged skin, fins, wounds, or eggs.
Do not assume every white patch is fungus. Columnaris, excess mucus, parasites, and damaged tissue can appear similar.
Prepare a Separate Treatment Tank
Move affected fish to a hospital or quarantine tank whenever possible.
Maintain stable temperature, strong aeration, and suitable filtration without activated carbon.
Switch off ultraviolet sterilization during treatment unless the current product label directs otherwise.
Measure the Actual Water Volume
Calculate the amount of water actually being treated rather than relying only on the aquarium's advertised capacity.
Substrate, rocks, decorations, equipment, and the fill level reduce the real water volume.
Pre-Dissolve the Tablet
Place the required tablet amount in a clean cup containing aquarium water.
Mix thoroughly, then distribute the prepared solution evenly throughout the treatment tank.
Administer Once Every 24 Hours
Use one 100 mg tablet for every 5 gallons or approximately 19 litres of actual treatment water.
Repeat once daily according to the current label directions.
Continue for Five Consecutive Days
Continue treatment for five consecutive days while checking the fungal growth, appetite, activity, breathing, and water parameters.
Do not extend treatment beyond the current label directions without aquatic veterinary guidance.
Stop if There Is No Improvement
Discontinue use if no improvement is noted after five days.
Reassess the diagnosis because the condition may be bacterial, parasitic, viral, environmental, or resistant to the selected treatment.
Fix Flucon Amounts by Aquarium Size
| Tank volume | Fluconazole per use | 100 mg tablets |
|---|---|---|
| 5 gallons (19 L) | 100 mg | 1 tablet |
| 10 gallons (38 L) | 200 mg | 2 tablets |
| 20 gallons (76 L) | 400 mg | 4 tablets |
| 30 gallons (114 L) | 600 mg | 6 tablets |
| 40 gallons (151 L) | 800 mg | 8 tablets |
What to Expect During Treatment
Days 1 to 2
The visible growth may remain present while treatment begins. Fish may hide or eat less because of the illness or transfer to a hospital tank.
Days 3 to 4
Look for growth that stops spreading, appears reduced, or begins separating from damaged tissue. Appetite and activity may gradually improve.
Day 5
Complete the label-directed course and reassess. Stop treatment and seek professional guidance if there is no improvement or the fish become worse.
What You Need for Treatment
- A separate hospital or quarantine tank
- A suitable aquarium heater
- An air stone or established sponge filter
- An ammonia and nitrite test kit
- A suitable water conditioner or dechlorinator
- A small net for gentle fish transfer
- A clean cup for pre-dissolving the tablets
- Activated carbon for use after treatment, when appropriate
Pro Tip: Correct the underlying cause while treating the fungus. Check for sharp decorations, fighting, parasites, poor water quality, temperature stress, and injuries that may have damaged the fish's protective skin.
How Fix Flucon Works
Each Fix Flucon tablet contains 100 mg of fluconazole, a triazole antifungal ingredient.
Fluconazole interferes with the production of important sterol components used by susceptible fungal cell membranes.
Disrupting this process can limit fungal growth and give affected tissue an opportunity to recover when the organism is susceptible and the aquarium environment is stable.
Fix Flucon is intended for fungal concerns. It does not replace antibacterial treatments for bacterial infections and does not target parasites or viruses.
Treatment success depends on correct identification of the problem, appropriate water conditions, the health of the fish, and whether the organism is sensitive to fluconazole.
Standard inactive tablet ingredients help maintain tablet stability and allow the product to disperse after it is pre-dissolved in aquarium water.
Safety and Tank Notes
Use Fix Flucon only according to the current product label and monitor fish and water quality closely during treatment.
Incorrect amounts, prolonged treatment, unnecessary repeat courses, or combining products may increase stress and make it harder to identify the original cause.
Possible Fish Reactions
Sick fish may temporarily hide, eat less, or appear lethargic during treatment.
These signs may result from the underlying illness, transfer stress, water-quality changes, or treatment sensitivity.
Stop Treatment If
Stop treatment if fish develop severe weakness, rapid gill movement, surface gasping, loss of balance, rolling, or a rapid decline.
Increase aeration, perform an appropriate partial water change, and seek aquatic veterinary guidance.
Water Quality
Test ammonia and nitrite regularly and maintain stable temperature and oxygen levels.
Poor water quality can worsen fungal growth and prevent damaged tissue from recovering.
Filtration During Treatment
Remove activated carbon and other chemical filtration media during treatment because they may reduce the amount of product available in the water.
Switch off UV sterilization unless the current label directs otherwise.
Invertebrates and Reef Systems
Treat affected fish in a separate hospital tank rather than exposing shrimp, snails, corals, and other sensitive invertebrates.
Sensitivity may vary between species and aquarium systems.
Do Not Mix Treatments
Do not combine Fix Flucon with antibacterial, antiparasitic, or other antifungal treatments unless the product labels permit it or a qualified professional recommends the combination.

What is the active ingredient in Fix Flucon?
Each tablet contains 100 mg of fluconazole.
What is the difference between Fish Flucon and Fix Flucon?
Fish Flucon is a commonly used name for aquarium fluconazole products. Fix Flucon is the current Aqua Soma Labs product supplied in a 100 mg tablet strength.
How many tablets are in a bottle?
This Fix Flucon product is supplied in a 10-count bottle.
What kinds of fungal problems may Fix Flucon help manage?
Fix Flucon may be considered for susceptible topical or systemic fungal concerns, including Saprolegnia-type growth and certain Ichthyophonus-related problems.
How can I tell whether the white growth is fungal?
Fungal growth often appears raised, fuzzy, cotton-like, or wool-like and may develop on injured skin, fins, wounds, or eggs.
Bacterial columnaris, excess mucus, parasites, and damaged tissue can look similar, so diagnosis is important.
Can Fix Flucon treat cotton-mouth disease?

Use Fix Flucon only when the problem is reasonably suspected to be fungal.
Can Fix Flucon treat bacterial fin rot?
Fix Flucon is an antifungal product. It should not be expected to treat ordinary bacterial fin rot unless a separate susceptible fungal problem is also present.
Can Fix Flucon treat ich, flukes, or other parasites?
No. Fluconazole is an antifungal ingredient and is not a standard treatment for ich, flukes, worms, or other parasitic conditions.
How much Fix Flucon should I use?
The current Fix Flucon listing direction is one pre-dissolved 100 mg tablet per 5 gallons or approximately 19 litres of actual treatment water.
Follow the bottle label received with the product because directions may change.
How long should I treat with Fix Flucon?
The current product direction describes treatment once every 24 hours for five consecutive days.
Discontinue use and reassess the diagnosis if no improvement is noted after five days.
Should I pre-dissolve the tablet?
Yes. Pre-dissolve the required tablet amount in a clean cup of aquarium water, then distribute the solution evenly throughout the treatment tank.
Should I use a hospital tank?
A separate hospital or quarantine tank is strongly recommended. It allows closer observation and limits exposure of healthy fish, plants, invertebrates, and the main aquarium system.

Remove activated carbon and other chemical filtration media during treatment because they may reduce the amount of fluconazole available in the water.
Should I switch off the UV sterilizer?
Switch off UV sterilization during treatment unless the current product label specifically directs otherwise.
Can Fix Flucon be used in saltwater aquariums?
Fix Flucon may be used in an appropriately prepared saltwater hospital tank when consistent with the current label.
Avoid treating a reef display containing corals or sensitive invertebrates when a separate treatment system is available.
Is Fix Flucon safe for shrimp, snails, and corals?
Sensitivity can vary between species and systems. Treat affected fish separately rather than exposing shrimp, snails, corals, and other invertebrates.
Can I combine Fix Flucon with other treatments?
Do not combine Fix Flucon with other antifungal, antibacterial, or antiparasitic products unless the labels permit the combination or a qualified aquatic professional recommends it.
What should I do if the fish are not improving?
Discontinue treatment if no improvement appears after five days.
Check water quality, reconsider whether the condition is truly fungal, and seek aquatic veterinary guidance.
How should I store Fix Flucon?
Store the tablets in their original, tightly closed bottle in a cool, dry location protected from direct sunlight, heat, and moisture.
Can Fix Flucon be used for humans or household pets?
No. This product is intended for ornamental aquarium fish. It is not intended for humans, dogs, cats, birds, livestock, or food-producing animals.
