Skinny pale lethargic honey gourami made a comeback
I recently encountered a troubling situation with my honey gourami, who became noticeably skinny and pale, even losing his characteristic black belly, which typically signifies his breeding dress. He showed signs of weakness, often resting at the bottom of the tank, and one of his eyes appeared slightly larger than the other, leading me to suspect he might have Popeye. I also considered the possibility of ‘wasting disease’ or some form of internal infection due to his rapid weight loss.
I initially attempted various natural treatments, including aquarium salt, Pemafix, and Melafix, while maintaining optimal water parameters, but sadly, none provided any relief. Ultimately, I decided to try Kanaplex, mixing it in a 50:50 ratio with Focus by Seachem to help bind the medication to the food. Although I had Garlic Guard available for added flavor, my fish eagerly consumed the medicated food without it.
To administer the treatment, I mixed the powdered medication with a small amount of tank water and fish food, opting for a reduced dosage (about half a scoop) to ensure the safety of my shrimp, as it wasnât marketed as invertebrate safe. I’m happy to report that all the inhabitants of my tankâincluding clown plecos, hillstream loaches, Pygmy corys, ghost shrimp, and snails (both ramshorn and Nerite)âare thriving with no noticeable adverse effects.
I administered a half dose every other day for a week, and within that time, my fish’s orange color began to return, and he started to fill out. His energy has noticeably increased, although he still rests at the bottom from time to time. It’s worth noting that he is at least 4 years old, so he might be naturally slowing down in his old age. After about two weeks, his black belly made a comeback. One of his eyes still appears slightly different from the other, which may indicate an injury rather than Popeye.
Overall, Iâm very pleased with the improvement in my fish’s health!

Saved my Betta and I Still Have Plenty Left
I wish I had a before and after picture. My betta was in really rough shape; fin rot he had for weeks at the petstore, could barely swim, buoyancy issues. I thought he’d for sure die. I’m a college student currently so I only see my aquarium on the weekends. I tried a lot of different anti bacterial for fish and he only got worse. Bought Kanaplex and within the week his fins started to grow back, he gained weight and could swim, and he was a bright blue color. I cannot praise this product enough. Definitely worth the price and I still have plenty left over.

Miracle Product
I honestly thought my betta was in his final days. He had popeye, couldnât swim, couldnât float, and his tail was looking rough as well. I was changing out his water very frequently but he was still bloated and ill.
Within two days of adding this product, he was energetic again, swimming all over, his popeye went down, and his fins finally stood again! I hadnât seen him looking this good for months. This is honestly a miracle product. I really thought my little guy was done for, but I didnât want to give up on him. I highly recommend keeping this on hand as a betta owner because you get so much medicine in the small tube and you will probably only need a few doses.

One of the best fish antibiotics on the market
My first review was deemed not meeting community standards. I gave this product a five star review and said it’s one of the best if not the best fish antibiotic on the market imho. I couldn’t even see what was offensive in my review. Ok, again, it’s one of the best fish medications on the market. I get my fish from chain pet stores and they are always sick, very sick. Was it the reference to chain pet stores and that they sell sick animals? I am sorry, they do, which is why I always keep fish antibiotics on hand. I wouldn’t have to buy this product if the fish were healthy because after I treat them, they stay healthy. I purchase them and within two days they are circling the drain. Every single time. I use this product and they bounce back and live a happy, long life.
