Used MetroPlex to treat a Hexamita infection in my betta. The fish showed improvement within 48 hours. It didn’t affect the filter or water chemistry. Easy to dose and safe for the tank environment.

Treated a mild Ich outbreak with MetroPlex. The fish recovered quickly and the treatment didn’t interfere with the filter. I used carbon after treatment to remove any residue.
