Product Details

Fix Flox (Ciprofloxacin) 500mg Capsules

Fix Flox (Ciprofloxacin) delivers potent broad-spectrum fluoroquinolone antibiotic care formulated for ornamental marine and freshwater fish. Offered in 500 mg strength capsules in two bottle sizes (30 capsules and 60 capsules), it is designed to combat severe, resistant gram-negative and select gram-positive bacterial infections in aquarium setups. The water-soluble powder inside each pull-apart capsule dissolves cleanly into tank water to deliver targeted treatment without artificial dyes or unnecessary fillers.

Features and Benefits

Potent Fluoroquinolone Antibiotic: Exerts a strong bactericidal effect on persistent and systemic aquatic bacterial pathogens.
Available in 30ct & 60ct Bottles: Supplied in uniform 500 mg capsules in 30-count and 60-count size options to match your treatment volume needs.
Pure Active Ingredient: Formulated with high-grade ciprofloxacin with zero artificial additives, dyes, or unnecessary chemical fillers.
Targeted Bacterial Relief: Helps treat stubborn aquatic conditions including columnaris disease, fin rot, tail rot, swollen abdomen, skin ulcerations, and gill rot.

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 treatment, as these pull active ciprofloxacin from solution. Performing a partial water change beforehand minimizes organic waste and reduces environmental stress.

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

3. Administration in Non-Food Avian Species Fix Flox may be administered to non-food pet birds (such as pigeons) strictly under the direct supervision and dosage regimen prescribed by a licensed avian veterinarian. Capsules are typically opened and thoroughly incorporated into soft food or dissolved in fresh drinking water to ensure complete delivery. Follow veterinary orders exclusively regarding dosage and treatment duration.

4. Water Quality Management & Post-Treatment Care Maintain high aeration and closely monitor water parameters, including ammonia and nitrite, throughout the treatment regimen. Complete the full course of therapy to prevent relapse. Upon completion, perform a partial water change and reintroduce activated carbon filtration to remove residual medication.

How Fix Flox Works +

Fix Flox contains ciprofloxacin, a synthetic broad-spectrum fluoroquinolone antibacterial agent.

It exerts bactericidal action by inhibiting bacterial DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV enzymes, blocking DNA replication and rapidly destroying target bacterial pathogens 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 can impact beneficial biological filter colonies. Dosing in a dedicated hospital tank is strongly recommended to protect your main aquarium's nitrifying bacteria.

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

Fish Flox vs Fix Flox: What Changed? +

If you previously relied on legacy brands like Thomas Labs Fish Flox Forte or Aqua Flox, those specific labels are discontinued or scarce. Fix Flox from SourceMax Labs serves as a direct replacement, delivering the same active ingredient and capsule format for aquarium care.

Identical Active Ciprofloxacin Fix Flox provides 500 mg of pharmaceutical-grade ciprofloxacin per capsule, matching historical aquarist expectations.

Updated Compliant Packaging Manufactured by SourceMax Labs with clear, modern labeling featuring dosage guidelines and storage instructions.

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 runs complete with clearly printed expiration dates.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a prescription to buy Fix Flox? +

No prescription is required. Fix Flox is an over-the-counter antibiotic treatment formulated specifically for ornamental fish.

What conditions does ciprofloxacin treat in aquarium fish? +

It effectively targets severe bacterial infections including columnaris disease, fin rot, tail rot, skin ulcers, swollen abdomen, and gill rot.

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

No. Fix Flox 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 Flox affect beneficial nitrifying bacteria in my filter? +

Because ciprofloxacin is a broad-spectrum antibiotic, it 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 neutralize or extract active 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. Discontinue treatment and consult an aquatic vet if no improvement is noted within 5 days.
