Fritz Maracyn Two
- Treats bacterial infections (effective against gram-negative pathogens)
- Safe for aquarium plants
- Safe for shrimp, snails, and other invertebrates
Fritz Maracyn® Two powder is a broad-spectrum antibiotic developed for use in aquariums which has been shown to be effective against a number of pathogenic bacteria associated with ornamental fish disease. Due to its unique properties, it is absorbed by the fish through the skin. During the prescribed treatment, the concentration of the active ingredient in the fish fluids rises to a therapeutic level and is available to fight systemic infections susceptible to its action. Maracyn® Two is primarily effective against gram-negative pathogenic organisms. Internal diseases are more difficult to detect than external ones as early detection is almost impossible. It is also potentially effective against some gram-positive and fungal infections, making it our most broad-spectrum treatment, and a great first choice of medication when the cause of disease is unknown.
Provides relief from bacterial infections such as fin and tail rot, popeye, septicemia, dropsy, internal infections, and other secondary infections, such as wounds from injuries or parasites. Symptoms of possible bacterial infection can include clamped fins, general listlessness, degradation of tissue on fins, suppressed appetite or other unusual behavior can be caused by internal infections. All suspected bacterial infections should be treated immediately. Consult a veterinarian or fish expert for assistance in diagnosis of disease causing organisms and treatment options.
Active ingredient: Minocycline
For the 10-count and 20-count boxes of Maracyn Two, the medication comes in individual packets where each packet treats 10 gallons of water (except for the first dose - see directions). When treating with Maracyn Two, we recommend using an air stone in the aquarium, which may temporarily cause excessive foaming at the water surface.
For best results, we recommend removing chemical filtration from your aquarium filter before dosing the medication. Examples of chemical filtration include activated carbon, carbon-infused media pads, Seachem Purigen, phosphate media pads, and ammonia media pads.
Manufacturer's Directions on the Package:
One complete course of treatment will take 5 days. Treat for the full course of treatment even if visible signs of infection or illness disappear.
— Day One: Add the contents of two packets per 10 gallons of water to be treated.
— Day Two through Day Five: Each day, add contents of one packet per 10 gallons of water to be treated. — Day Six: Perform a 25% water change. Repeat this five-day treatment if symptoms improve, but have not completely disappeared. If no improvement has occurred, try Maracyn.
Aquarium Co-Op Instructions:
We recommend following the manufacturers directions.
Notes:
— All suspected bacterial infections should be treated immediately.
— Fritz Maracyn® Two is non-toxic to invertebrates such as snails and shrimp.
— Don't confuse this medication with Maracyn, which is not the same medication.
