Frequently Asked Questions
What Does Fritz Maracyn Do?+
Maracyn is a broad-spectrum antibiotic specifically compounded for ornamental fish diseases. It is designed to provide complete but gradual dissolution in water and works primarily on gram-positive pathogenic organisms.
Should I Use Maracyn or Maracyn 2? +
The type of fish bacterial infection determines the option. Maracyn addresses gram-positive bacterial infections, while Maracyn 2 treats gram-negative germs often seen in aquarium fish. If Maracyn 2 improves, a second round may help. Be sure to diagnose bacterial infections before treating them because some look like fungal infections. Ask a fish health expert.
Can I Use Paracleanse and Maracyn Together?
Three quarantine medications may be used in unison: Maracyn antibiotic, Paracleanse antifungal, and Ich-X anti-parasitic medications.
Does Maracyn Treat Fungal Infections?+
Fritz Maracyn Oxy effectively controls actual fungal infections caused by Saprolegnia, ichthyosporidium, egg fungus, and related species, as well as certain common bacterial infections, such as fin and tail rot.
Is Maracyn safe for Fish? +
Fritz Maracyn Oxy is effective in treating fish showing symptoms such as clamped fins, swollen eyes, rapid or labored breathing, patchy coloration, or any noticeable behavioral changes. Immediate treatment is recommended for all suspected infections.
