Maintaining a healthy aquarium means being prepared to address common fish illnesses.

At Thomas Labs Pet, we offer high-quality fish sulfamethoxazole, often in combination with trimethoprim (TMP), to help keep your fish healthy.

This combination is effective against a wide range of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria.
