FAQs – Fish Zole (Metronidazole) 500 mg
-
What makes Fish Zole different from other aquarium antibiotics?
Fish Zole contains metronidazole, which targets a unique range of protozoan parasites and anaerobic bacteria—issues not always addressed by standard antibiotics. -
Can Fish Zole treat internal parasites?
Yes. Mixing the crushed tablet with fish food enables the medication to directly target internal pathogens, improving efficacy. -
Is Fish Zole safe for all ornamental fish?
Generally, Fish Zole is safe when used according to guidelines. Monitor sensitive or exotic species closely for signs of stress. -
Can I combine Fish Zole with other aquarium medications?
Exercise caution. Some medication combinations may reduce effectiveness or harm fish. Consult a veterinarian before administering multiple treatments. -
Does Fish Zole also treat fungal infections?
No. Metronidazole is not effective against fungi. Use a specialized antifungal product for issues like fungal growth on fish or in aquariums. -
How soon can I return to normal tank maintenance?
After completing treatment, wait 24–48 hours, then perform a partial water change to remove residual medication. Resume normal care once water parameters stabilize. -
Will Fish Zole harm invertebrates like shrimp or snails?
Invertebrates may be more sensitive to medications. Consider a hospital tank for your fish if your main aquarium contains invertebrates. -
What if my fish show no improvement after treatment?
If no visible progress occurs within 3–5 days, consult a veterinarian to assess potential alternative treatments or further diagnostics. -
How do I discard unused or expired tablets?
Follow local regulations for pharmaceutical waste disposal. Avoid flushing tablets down the drain or discarding them in aquarium water.
