Q: Hi! my betta got popeyes. i bought this but don't know how to use it. it says it goes with frozen food paste.could you tell me where to get the food?

as per the manufacturer......KanaPlex is a blended kanamycin based medication that safely and effectively treats several fungal, and bacterial fish diseases (dropsy, popeye, fin/tail rot, septicemia). Because it is absorbed by fish it is useful in treating internal infections in those situations where food is refused. It does not adversely affect the filter bed and is easily removed with carbon. When used in a medicated food mix, it is excellent for treating bacterial infections in tanks that contain invertebrates. For use in freshwater or marine aquaria.Types of Infections TreatedParasitic Fungal Bacterial ViralKanaPlex DirectionsDosing in WaterRemove all invertebrates - these are extremely sensitive to medication. Turn off UV filters, ozone filters, and remove chemical filtration like MatrixCarbon and Purigen. Use 1 measure (included) per every 20 L (5 gallons). Repeat this dose every 48 hours to a maximum of 3 doses. In cases of severe infections, it is possible to carry out two rounds of treatment back-to-back. However, this should only be done if fish show no signs of stress at the end of the first round.Dosing in FoodFeed the medicated food mix (recipe below) every day until the infection clears or up to 1 week.

Question 1

How many gallons does one container treat? I need to treat 240 gallons.

Accepted Answer

Each level scoop is 125mg and treats 5 gallons for 1 day's dose. There are 40 scoops in the 5 gm vial.  5 grams would treat 200 gallons for 1 day's dose.
