Fish Sulfa Forte (Sulfameth/Trimethoprim) is a powerful broad-spectrum antibiotic used to treat various bacterial infections in aquarium fish. As part of our commitment to providing comprehensive fish care solutions, we offer Fish Sulfa 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.

Fish Sulfa Forte contains a combination of sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim (SMZ-TMP). This combination is synergistic, meaning that the two drugs work together to be more effective than either drug used alone. This makes it a valuable treatment for a wider range of bacterial infections. The “Forte” designation indicates a higher concentration of the active ingredients, making it suitable for larger fish or more severe infections.

  • Fin rot
  • Tail rot
  • Mouth rot
  • Bacterial hemorrhagic septicemia
  • Columnaris
  • Other bacterial infections susceptible to SMZ-TMP

How to Use Fish Sulfa Forte (Sulfameth/Trimethoprim):

  • Dosage: Follow the instructions on the product label carefully. Dosage is 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. Sulfameth/Trimethoprim will not be effective against viral, fungal, or parasitic infections.
  • Monitor Water Parameters: Sulfameth/Trimethoprim 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.
