It belongs to the nitroimidazole class and is effective against anaerobic bacteria (bacteria that thrive without oxygen) as well as protozoan parasites — organisms responsible for conditions like hole-in-the-head disease, internal parasites, and certain freshwater ich-related complications. This makes it an essential tool when the cause of illness is uncertain or when a mixed bacterial-parasitic infection is suspected. Also commonly known as Flagyl.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eAbout This Product\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMetronidazole is a synthetic, broad-spectrum nitroimidazole-class antibiotic and antiparasitic. It works by entering microbial cells and disrupting DNA synthesis — killing both anaerobic bacteria and protozoan parasites from within. Because it specifically targets organisms that operate in low-oxygen environments, it is highly effective against infections that broad-spectrum antibiotics often miss.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach tablet contains USP-grade Metronidazole — available in 250mg and 500mg strengths, both in 100-tablet counts. As the only dual-action antibiotic and antiparasitic in our collection, it is especially valuable when fish present with wasting, bloating, loss of appetite, or hole-in-the-head symptoms alongside bacterial signs — conditions that may involve both bacterial and parasitic causes simultaneously.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAlso commonly searched as: fish metro, metronidazole for fish, fish zole equivalent, aqua zole equivalent, flagyl fish antibiotic, hole in the head fish treatment, fish internal parasite treatment, nitroimidazole fish antibiotic.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eCommonly Treats\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBacterial Conditions: \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnaerobic bacterial infections\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBacterial hemorrhagic septicemia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFin rot \u0026amp; tail rot\\\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDropsy (bacterial origin)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGill disease (anaerobic)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eParasitic Conditions:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHole-in-the-head disease (HITH)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInternal protozoan parasites\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHexamita \u0026amp; Spironucleus\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBloat \u0026amp; wasting (parasitic)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLoss of appetite (parasitic origin)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eDirections for Use\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDetermine your dose: Use one 250mg tablet per 10 gallons of water, or one 500mg tablet per 20 gallons of water.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDissolve the tablet in a small amount of aquarium water before adding to the tank.
