    KanaPlex is a blended kanamycin based medication that safely and effectively treats several fungal, and bacterial fish diseases (dropsy, popeye, fin/tail rot, septicemia). Because it is absorbed by fish it is useful in treating internal infections in those situations where food is refused. It does not adversely affect the filter bed and is easily removed with carbon. To enhance palatability use with Garlic Guard. Food may be refrozen.

    It works... but 3/18/2013

    Reviewer: Michael J. Serpiello

    This medication which was suggested by one of the supervisors at the store in Lancaster seems to work well but, and it's a big BUT ... the design of the dispenser and vial it comes in seems to be engineered to waste the product. The product is a "sticky" powder - i.e. it sticks to the plastic vial making it difficult to get it away from the bottom of the vial where the little spoon dispenser can reach it. Once you grab a full spoonful you then have to use the top rim of the vial to scrape off the excess to get a level spoonful (the recommended dose measurement). The scraping off the excess process almost invariably leads to some of the product falling out of the vial because of a little plastic ring on the shaft of the spoon just above the spoon itself. I can't explain how frustrating this is to use. There has to be a better way. If the spoon were able to reach the bottom of the vial to remove the product without actually requiring the closing and sealing of the vial with the lid/spoon combination dispenser (even closed, the spoon doesn't reach all the way to the bottom of the vial), I could live with it. Why not just make it a liquid solution or totally re-design the dispenser so that it makes sense.
