Provides relief from bacterial infections such as body fungus, gill disease and popeye in fresh and saltwater aquariums.
Mardel Maracyn® is a specially compounded broad-spectrum antibiotic (erythromycin) which has been shown to be effective against a number of pathogenic bacteria associated with ornamental fish disease. It was developed for complete but gradual dissolution in water. It is primarily effective against gram-positive pathogenic organisms. Symptoms of clamped fins, swollen eyes, heavy or rapid breathing, patchy coloration, change in swimming behavior or corner-hiding can be signs of possible bacterial infection.
All suspected bacterial infections should be treated immediately. Mardel Maracyn® is non-toxic to invertebrates. Follow dosage directions as detailed on the product packaging.
We use Fritz Maracyn in our livestock quarantine/hospital routine.
Fritz Mardel Maracyn - 24ct.
Add the contents of one package per 10 gallons of water and repeat every 24 hours for 5 days. Repeat this 5 day treatment only once if needed.
For treating aquariums smaller than 10 gallons, add one packet of Maracyn in a container and add 10 equal parts water. Mix until fully disolved. Use the measuring device used to add water to add solution to the aquarium.
Example: For a 5 gallon aquarium pour 5 parts of the solution into the aquarium.
Important: Treat for 5 days even if visible signs disappear. Maracyn® may cause excessive foam production in protein skimmers. Stop use of skimmer during treatment if excessive foaming is a concern.
