Clindamycin is a lincosamide antibiotic that is particularly effective against many gram-positive bacteria and some anaerobic bacteria. This makes it a useful choice for treating specific bacterial infections in aquarium fish, especially when dealing with bacteria resistant to other commonly used antibiotics.

Our Fish Cin products provide a reliable source of clindamycin for your fish.

Common Fish Diseases Treated with Clindamycin:

• Bacterial infections resistant to other antibiotics
• Certain types of fin rot and tail rot, especially when caused by gram-positive bacteria.
• Some internal bacterial infections

How to Use Fish Cin (Clindamycin):

• Dosage: Follow the instructions on the product label carefully. Dosage is typically based on the volume of water in your aquarium.
• Water Changes: Perform a partial water change (25-50%) before starting treatment and between doses.
• Treatment Duration: Complete the full course of treatment as recommended on the product label, even if symptoms improve.
• Quarantine Tank: It is highly recommended to treat infected fish in a separate quarantine tank to avoid disrupting the biological filter in your main aquarium.

Important Considerations:

• Accurate Diagnosis: Ensure the fish’s illness is indeed bacterial before using antibiotics. Clindamycin will not be effective against viral, fungal, or parasitic infections.
• Monitor Water Parameters: Clindamycin can affect the beneficial bacteria in your filter. Monitor ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate levels closely during treatment.
• Consult a Veterinarian: If you are unsure about the diagnosis or treatment, consult a qualified aquatic veterinarian.
