Used MetroPlex to treat a Hexamita outbreak in my community tank. The fish showed improvement within a week. I mixed it with their food, which made it easier to administer. No harm to my snails or shrimp. Very effective and safe.

Tried it for a Cryptocaryon case. Followed the dosage instructions and saw results after two weeks. The medication didn’t stress the fish or affect the filter. Good for both internal and external issues.

My betta had a bacterial infection. Used MetroPlex mixed with food. After three days, the fish started acting normally. No side effects. Works well in a mixed-species tank with invertebrates.
