Product Details

Fix Cin (Clindamycin) 150mg Capsules

Fix Cin (Clindamycin) provides targeted broad-spectrum lincosamide antibiotic care formulated for ornamental marine and freshwater fish. Offered in 150 mg capsules, it is designed to treat susceptible anaerobic and gram-positive bacterial infections in aquatic environments. The water-soluble powder inside each pull-apart capsule dissolves cleanly into tank water to deliver active antibiotic support without artificial dyes or unnecessary fillers.

Features and Benefits

  • Targeted Lincosamide Antibiotic: Inhibits susceptible anaerobic and gram-positive bacterial pathogens affecting ornamental fish.
  • Precise 150 mg Strength: Formulated in uniform 150 mg capsules to simplify accurate dosing across various aquarium volumes.
  • Pure Active Ingredient: Formulated with pharmaceutical-grade clindamycin hydrochloride with zero artificial dyes or unnecessary fillers.
  • Broad Aquatic Support: Helps manage stubborn bacterial conditions including deep tissue infections, skin ulcers, fin and tail rot, and bacterial lesions.
Usage Guidelines & Instructions
1. Quarantine Setup & Water Preparation Isolate affected fish in a dedicated hospital tank prior to medication. Discontinue chemical filtration (activated carbon) and turn off UV sterilizers during administration, as these extract active clindamycin from solution. Performing a partial water change beforehand minimizes organic waste and reduces environmental stress.
2. Aquarium Dosing Instructions Add the contents of one 150 mg capsule per 10 gallons (38 L) of aquarium water. Separate the capsule halves, pre-dissolve the powder into a cup of warm aquarium water, and distribute the mixture evenly across the water surface. Repeat the dosage every 24 hours for 5 to 10 consecutive days. Conduct a partial water change between treatments. Discontinue use and consult a veterinarian if no clinical improvement is observed within 5 days.
3. Administration in Non-Food Avian Species Fix Cin may be administered to non-food pet birds (such as pigeons) strictly under the direct guidance, diagnosis, and prescribed dosage schedule of a licensed avian veterinarian. Capsules are typically opened and incorporated into soft food or dissolved in drinking water according to veterinary directives.
4. Water Quality Management & Post-Treatment Care Maintain high aeration and closely monitor essential water parameters, including ammonia and nitrite, throughout the treatment course. Complete the full duration of therapy to prevent bacterial resistance or symptom relapse. Upon completion, perform a partial water change and reintroduce activated carbon filtration to clear residual medication.
How Fix Cin Works +

Fix Cin contains clindamycin hydrochloride, a lincosamide class antibiotic.

It exerts a bacteriostatic effect by binding to the 50S ribosomal subunit of target bacteria, halting bacterial protein synthesis and blocking cellular replication to help the fish's natural immune system clear the infection.

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.

Antibiotics can disrupt beneficial nitrifying biological filter bacteria. Dosing in a dedicated hospital tank is strongly advised to protect your main aquarium's biofilter.

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

Fish Cin vs Fix Cin: What Changed? +

If you previously relied on legacy products like Thomas Labs Fish Cin or Aqua Cin, those specific brand lines are discontinued or scarce. Fix Cin from SourceMax Labs serves as a direct alternative, offering the identical active ingredient strength and capsule format for aquarium care.

Identical Active Clindamycin Fix Cin provides 150 mg of pharmaceutical-grade clindamycin per capsule, matching historical aquarist expectations.
Updated Compliant Packaging Manufactured by SourceMax Labs with clear, modern labeling featuring dosage guidelines and storage notes.
Dissolving Capsule Format Features pull-apart capsules that dissolve smoothly in water, maintaining the familiar administration process.
Fresh Factory Production Directly supplied from recent production batches complete with clearly printed expiration dates.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a prescription to buy Fix Cin? +
No prescription is required. Fix Cin is an over-the-counter antibiotic treatment formulated specifically for ornamental fish and aquarium care.
What conditions does clindamycin treat in aquarium fish? +
It targets anaerobic and gram-positive bacterial pathogens causing deep body tissue infections, skin ulcers, fin rot, tail rot, and infected lesions.
Can Fix Cin be used on dogs, cats, or humans? +
No. Fix Cin is strictly labeled and intended for ornamental fish and non-food organisms. It should never be consumed by humans or administered to mammalian pets.
Will Fix Cin harm my biological filter? +
Broad-spectrum antibiotics can affect beneficial biological filter colonies. Dosing in a separate quarantine or hospital tank is strongly recommended.
How do I prepare the capsules before adding them to the tank? +
Pull the capsule open, empty the dry powder into a cup of warm aquarium water, stir thoroughly until dissolved, and pour evenly across the surface of the tank.
Should chemical filtration and UV sterilizers remain off? +
Yes, remove activated carbon and turn off UV sterilizers throughout the treatment duration, as they remove active clindamycin medication from the water.
How long should the treatment bath continue? +
Daily treatment baths should run for a minimum of 5 days and no more than 10 days. If no clinical improvement is observed within 5 days, discontinue use and consult an aquatic vet.
