Fish Flox and Flox Forte (Ciprofloxacin) are valuable tools for treating bacterial infections in aquarium fish, particularly those caused by gram-negative bacteria. As part of our commitment to providing comprehensive fish care solutions, we offer both Fish Flox and Fish Flox Forte within our Thomas Labs Fish Antibiotics category. For a broader selection of fish health products, please also see our Fish Medication category. At Thomas Labs Pet, we strive to provide quality medications for a variety of fish health needs.

Ciprofloxacin is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic, effective against a wide range of gram-negative and some gram-positive bacteria. It’s often used when other antibiotics are ineffective, especially against certain resistant strains.

What’s the difference between Fish Flox and Flox Forte?

Fish Ciprofloxacin contains a higher concentration of ciprofloxacin per dose. This makes it suitable for treating more severe infections or larger fish. Fish Ciprofloxacin is suitable for milder infections and smaller fish.

Common Fish Diseases Treated with Ciprofloxacin (Fish Flox/Forte):

  • Fin rot
  • Tail rot
  • Mouth rot
  • Gill disease
  • Columnaris (including saddleback disease)

How to Use Fish Flox & Forte (Ciprofloxacin):

  • Dosage: Follow the instructions on the product label carefully. Dosage is based on the volume of water in your aquarium and the chosen product (Fish Flox or Flox Forte).
  • 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. Ciprofloxacin will not be effective against viral, fungal, or parasitic infections.
  • Monitor Water Parameters: Ciprofloxacin 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.
