Each capsule holds \u003cstrong\u003e500 mg of ciprofloxacin\u003c\/strong\u003e, which works in the water to help manage suspected bacterial problems such as persistent fin and tail rot, columnaris-type patches, and ulcer-like sores when used as directed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the hobby it is still called Fish Flox, Fish Flox Forte, or Aqua Cipro. Fix Flox, from the Aqua Soma Labs Fix range, is the online replacement for the discontinued Thomas Labs Fish Flox and Aqua-Cipro 500 mg. Aquarists who used to buy fish cipro or a fish ciprofloxacin 500 mg capsule will recognize it as the same product under a new label.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis capsule helps with common bacterial problems: persistent fin and tail rot, columnaris-type patches, ulcer-like sores, red sores, hemorrhagic septicemia, swim bladder disease that involves bacteria, and dropsy-like swelling that is often linked to organisms such as Aeromonas, Pseudomonas, Vibrio, or Flavobacterium. Reef keepers also use ciprofloxacin for anemone bacterial infections (deflating or \"melting\" anemones) in a separate hospital tank.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt comes in \u003cstrong\u003e30-count and 60-count bottles\u003c\/strong\u003e with fresh expiration dates, so you can buy the amount that fits your situation, whether that is a single hospital tank, several community aquariums, or ciprofloxacin for birds under avian veterinary guidance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStart treatment early, at the first signs of bacterial stress.
