What is Aquarium Ciprofloxacin?
Ciprofloxacin 500mg is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic used in aquariums to treat a wide range of bacterial infections in ornamental fish. It works by stopping bacterial DNA replication, effectively killing the bacteria.
What fish diseases does it treat?
Ciprofloxacin is effective against many gram-negative and some gram-positive bacteria. It's commonly used for: Fin and tail rot Columnaris (Flexibacter) Gill infections Bacterial ulcers and wounds Septicemia (internal infections) Pop-eye (if bacterial in origin)
How do I administer it?
Ciprofloxacin is usually added directly to the aquarium water. In some advanced cases, it may be mixed with food for internal infections, but water treatment is standard and effective for most conditions.
What’s the typical dosage?
One 500mg tablet or capsule per 20 gallons of aquarium water Dose once every 24 hours Perform a 25–30% water change before each new dose Continue treatment for 5–7 days
Should I open or crush the tablet/capsule?
Yes — it is best to crush the tablet or open the capsule and dissolve the powder into the tank water for better distribution and faster action.
Do I need to remove carbon from the filter?
Absolutely. Remove activated carbon and chemical filtration media before starting treatment — these will absorb the medication and reduce its effectiveness.
Is Ciprofloxacin safe for all fish?
Scaleless species (loaches, corydoras, catfish) Tanks with invertebrates like shrimp and snails — they may be sensitive
Will it affect my beneficial bacteria?
Yes. Ciprofloxacin can negatively impact nitrifying bacteria in your biological filter. It's best to treat in a separate hospital tank, or monitor ammonia/nitrite levels closely during treatment.
Can I combine it with other meds?
Avoid mixing with other antibiotics unless advised by an expert. Ciprofloxacin is strong on its own. Combining it improperly can stress fish or reduce treatment effectiveness.
