Used Maracyn Two for a fish with fin rot and tail rot. The treatment worked well after a week. The fish showed improvement in movement and color. Easy to mix with water and no side effects observed.

Helped with a case of popeye in my betta. The fish started to recover within 4 days. I followed the dosage instructions carefully and kept the water parameters stable during treatment.
Zoe Morgan –
Tried it for septicemia in a group of guppies. After 5 days, the fish appeared more active and the symptoms reduced significantly. The powder dissolves easily and is effective when used consistently.

It worked for mild dropsy, but the fish didn’t fully recover. Might need to combine with other treatments. Still, it’s a good starting point for bacterial issues.
