Used Maracyn Oxy after noticing my guppies had frayed fins. Followed the dosage instructions and saw improvement within 7 days. The treatment worked well and the fish recovered fully.
Joanne Ball –
My betta developed fin rot after a water change. I used Maracyn Oxy as recommended and noticed the fins starting to heal after a week. Good product, though it takes time to see results.
Jan Buckland –
Fish were showing signs of infection and I tried several treatments before switching to Maracyn Oxy. It was effective and the fish showed clear improvement after two weeks of use.
Dan Carr –
It helped a bit, but the fish didn’t fully recover. Maybe the infection was more severe. Would recommend with caution and only after confirming the issue is bacterial.
