Antibacterial meds that are safe for corys?

Post by megacat »

Hi

I would like to know what antibacterial med is safe for corys? I've been told tri sulfa but want to check first if it's safe as well as ask if there are any other med(s) I should use instead of tri sulfa?

I've tried the mela/Pima fix treatment with absolutely no success.

Any advice/help is welcome

Thanks

Maracyn and Maracyn II are safe to use with scaleless fish. I've used it with my Panda Cories without any losses.

I have used JBL Furanol with good success.

I have the same experience with Mela/Primafix as you.
Best regards,
