Review: fast delivery and nice product - it's in a safe box, so the items are very secure, and they deliver very fast. Review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing results for my betta’s fin rot - I honestly wasn’t expecting such great results, but this medication exceeded my expectations. My betta fish, Bluey, had a pretty bad case of fin rot, and his fins had several holes and damaged areas. After following the directions and completing the treatment, I started noticing new fin growth. His fins are filling back in beautifully, and the damaged areas have almost completely recovered. Even better, he’s much more active, alert, and seems happier overall. I’m so relieved I found this product. It truly helped my fish recover, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone dealing with fin rot. It made a huge difference for Bluey. ## Features - Kanaplex, 5 g(0.18 oz) ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00CJ0VY8G | | Best Sellers Rank | #2,265 in Pet Supplies ( See Top 100 in Pet Supplies ) #4 in Fish Medication & Health Supplies | | Brand | Seachem | | Brand Name | Seachem | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 2,000 Reviews | | Included Components | treats several fungal, and bacterial fish diseases | | Item Form | Liquid | | Item Weight | 0.07 Pounds | | Item form | Liquid | | Item weight | 0.07 Pounds | | Liquid Volume | 5 Milliliters | | Liquid volume | 5 Milliliters | | Manufacturer | Zuke's | | Manufacturer Part Number | 881 | | Model Number | 881 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Pet Type | Fish | | Target Species | Fish | | UPC | 000116088107 | | Unit Count | 18 Milliliters | | Unit count | 18 Milliliters | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Seachem - **Item form:** Liquid - **Item weight:** 0.18 Ounces - **Liquid volume:** 5 Milliliters - **Number of Packs:** 1 ## Images ![Kanaplex, 5 g(0.18 oz) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71caCatjLCL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: How many gallons does one container treat?
