Metronidazole is bactericidal, amebicidal, and trichomonacidal, antibiotic effective in the control of bacterial diseases and some parasitic diseases (those caused by single cell protozoa) in marine and fresh water ornamental fish.  Inside both bacteria and protozoa, metronidazole is reduced to a toxic compound that disrupts the organism's replication cycle.  It is active against most anaerobic bacteria and amoeba that infect intestinal and extra-intestinal sites.  Use for Head and Lateral Line Erosion Disease, Hole-in-the-Head Disease, gill diseases, and systemic illnesses or internal diseases caused by intestinal bacterial or amoeboid parasites.

DOSAGE & DIRECTIONS: Use one tablet per 5 gallons of water.  Tablet should be dropped directly into the hospital tank.  Treatment in a hospital tank is recommended.  The tablet will dissolve rapidly and circulate through the water.  Repeat this treatment for two days later.  To reduce stress to the fish due to oxygen depletion during treatment use continuous filtration but remove carbon the filter since it will remove, by absorption, the antibiotic from the water.
