Product Details

Fix Flex (Cephalexin) 250mg & 500mg Capsules

Fix Flex (Cephalexin) delivers broad-spectrum antibiotic care for ornamental marine and freshwater fish. Formulated using cephalexin monohydrate, it targets susceptible gram-positive and gram-negative bacterial pathogens in aquatic environments. By helping control systemic and localized bacterial issues, Fix Flex supports fish health and protects your aquarium setup. The pull-apart capsules contain no fillers or artificial additives and dissolve cleanly into tank water.

Features and Benefits

Broad-Spectrum Coverage: Effective against a wide range of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria causing aquarium diseases.
Multiple Capsule Strengths: Available in 250 mg and 500 mg options for accurate dosing across different tank sizes.
Pure Active Ingredient: Contains pharmaceutical-grade cephalexin monohydrate with zero unnecessary fillers or dyes.
Targeted Condition Support: Helps manage fin rot, tail rot, infected eyes, pop-eye, columnaris, skin ulcers, and gill disease.

Usage Guidelines & Instructions −

1. Quarantine Setup & Water Preparation Isolate affected fish in a dedicated quarantine or hospital tank prior to medication. Discontinue chemical filtration (such as activated carbon) and switch off UV sterilizers during treatment, as these remove active cephalexin from solution. Performing a partial water change before the first dose helps reduce organic load and water stress.

2. Aquarium Dosing Instructions Add one 250 mg capsule per 10 gallons (38 L) or one 500 mg capsule per 20 gallons (76 L) of aquarium water. Open the capsule, pre-dissolve the powder in a small cup of tank water, and distribute evenly across the surface. Repeat the dose every 24 hours for 5 to 10 days. Perform a partial water change between consecutive treatments. Discontinue use and consult a specialist if no improvement is noted within 5 days.

3. Administration in Non-Food Avian Species Fix Flex may be administered to non-food pet birds (such as pigeons) strictly under the direct guidance and dosage regimen prescribed by a licensed avian veterinarian. Capsules are typically incorporated into soft food or drinking water as instructed by the vet. Follow veterinary orders exclusively regarding exact dosing and administration duration.

4. Water Quality Management & Post-Treatment Care Maintain strong aeration and monitor water parameters like ammonia and nitrite throughout treatment. Complete the full course of therapy unless instructed otherwise. Upon completion, perform a partial water change and reintroduce activated carbon filtration to remove residual cephalexin from the water.

How Fix Flex Works +

Fix Flex contains cephalexin monohydrate, a broad-spectrum cephalosporin antibiotic.

It exerts a bactericidal effect by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis, preventing target gram-positive and select gram-negative bacteria from multiplying in aquatic environments.

Safety and Tank Notes +

Caution: Keep out of reach of children. Fix Antibiotics are for aquarium use only. Intended for ornamental fish and/or ornamental organisms, and not intended for use with fish that are intended for human consumption.

Broad-spectrum antibiotics may affect beneficial nitrifying filter bacteria. Dosing in a separate hospital or quarantine tank is recommended. If treating the main aquarium, test water quality daily.

Storage: Keep lid tightly closed and store in a cool, dry place at controlled room temperature of 59°–86°F (15°–30°C).

Fish Flex vs Fix Flex: What Changed? +

If you previously used legacy labels like Thomas Labs Fish Flex or Fish Flex Forte, those brands are discontinued or hard to find. Fix Flex from SourceMax Labs serves as a direct replacement, providing the same active ingredient and strength options for aquarium care.

Identical Cephalexin Strength Fix Flex supplies the exact cephalexin monohydrate dosage (250 mg or 500 mg per capsule) aquarists expect.

Updated Packaging & Labeling Produced by SourceMax Labs with modern, compliant labeling and clear instructions printed on every container.

Standard Capsule Format Features pull-apart capsules that dissolve smoothly in water, matching the format of legacy fish antibiotics.

Fresh Batch Dating Ships directly from recent production lots complete with clearly printed batch details and expiration dates.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a prescription to buy Fix Flex? +

No prescription is required. Fix Flex is an over-the-counter antibiotic formulated specifically for ornamental fish and aquarium care.

What conditions does cephalexin treat in aquarium fish? +

Cephalexin targets broad-spectrum bacterial infections including fin rot, tail rot, skin ulcers, infected wounds, pop-eye, and gill disease.

Can Fix Flex be used on dogs, cats, or humans? +

No. Fix Flex is strictly labeled and intended for ornamental fish and non-food organisms. It should never be consumed by humans or administered to mammals.

Will Fix Flex affect beneficial nitrifying bacteria in my filter? +

As a broad-spectrum antibiotic, cephalexin can impact beneficial biological filter colonies. Dosing in a separate quarantine or hospital tank is strongly recommended.

How do I mix and apply the capsules? +

Separate the capsule halves, pour the dry powder into a cup of warm aquarium water, stir thoroughly until dissolved, and add the mixture evenly across the water surface.

Should chemical filtration and UV sterilizers remain off? +

Yes, remove activated carbon and turn off UV sterilizers throughout the treatment duration, as they destroy or extract active antibiotics from the water.

How long should the medication bath continue? +

Medication baths should run daily for a minimum of 5 days and no more than 10 days. If no visible improvement occurs within 5 days, discontinue treatment and consult an aquatic vet.
