Introducing KoiVital Antibiotic Duo, the ultimate solution for combating bacterial infections in your prized koi and ornamental fish. This powerful combination of doxycycline and erythromycin delivers broad-spectrum antibacterial action, targeting both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria to restore your koi’s health and vibrancy. Specially formulated for ease of use, KoiVital Antibiotic Duo is your go-to treatment for a wide range of common koi ailments, ensuring rapid recovery and a thriving pond environment.
Key Benefits
  • Comprehensive Bacterial Defense: Tackles stubborn infections like fin and tail rot, septicemia, mouth rot, popeye, columnaris, and dropsy caused by pathogens such as Aeromonas, Pseudomonas, Flavobacterium columnare, and Streptococcus.
  • Dual-Action Formula: Doxycycline’s broad-spectrum power against Gram-negative bacteria pairs with erythromycin’s targeted efficacy against Gram-positive bacteria, providing superior coverage for mixed or resistant infections.
  • Versatile Application: Available in medicated flakes for internal infections and soluble powder for bath treatments, making it ideal for both systemic and external conditions.
  • Fish-Safe and Effective: Formulated with pure, high-quality antibiotics and no unnecessary fillers, ensuring maximum potency and safety for your koi.
  • Easy to Use: Clear dosing instructions and pre-measured packets simplify treatment, even for novice pond keepers.
When to Use
KoiVital Antibiotic Duo is perfect for koi exhibiting symptoms such as frayed fins, red streaks, swollen eyes, cotton-like patches, bloating, or lethargy. It’s especially effective for complex infections where single-drug treatments fall short, offering a robust solution for serious conditions like dropsy or columnaris.
How It Works
  • Doxycycline: Disrupts bacterial protein synthesis, halting the spread of Gram-negative and some Gram-positive bacteria. It excels in treating systemic infections and works across a wide pH range.
  • Erythromycin: Targets Gram-positive bacteria and select Gram-negative strains, penetrating deep to address issues like popeye and bacterial gill disease.
    Together, they provide a synergistic effect, eliminating bacteria more effectively than either antibiotic alone, promoting faster healing and reducing the risk of recurrence.
Directions for Use
  • Medicated Feed: Mix flakes with koi food for internal infections like dropsy or septicemia. Feed daily for 10-14 days, following package dosing guidelines based on fish weight.
  • Bath Treatment: Dissolve powder in pond or quarantine tank water (1/4 tsp per 20 gallons daily) for external infections like fin rot or columnaris. Perform 25% water changes before each dose. Treat for 10-14 days or stop after 5 days if no improvement is seen.
  • Pro Tip: Maintain optimal water quality (pH 7-8, low ammonia/nitrite) and remove activated carbon from filters during treatment to ensure efficacy.
Product Specifications
  • Sizes: 50g powder (treats 400 gallons for 10 days), 100g medicated flakes (feeds 20 medium koi for 10 days).
  • Active Ingredients: Doxycycline hyclate, erythromycin phosphate.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from sunlight.
  • Safety: For ornamental fish only; not for human consumption. Wear gloves during handling and avoid contact with eyes.
Precautions
  • Monitor water parameters closely, as antibiotics may affect beneficial filter bacteria. Use a water conditioner like AquaLife Complete and replenish nitrifying bacteria post-treatment.
  • Do not combine with tetracycline or metronidazole unless advised by a fish health specialist.
  • Consult a veterinarian for precise diagnosis and dosing, especially for valuable koi or persistent infections.
