1964Guppygirl Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 I am currently treating one of my guppy tanks for the dreaded columnaris with kanamycin and nitrofurazone. Do I need to be adding beneficial bacteria during treatment? Or after ? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laritheloud Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 I recently treated my tank with antibiotics and had to deal with a mini-cycle afterwards. I chose to keep an eye on the parameters and throw in some beneficial bacteria during treatment, but I'm not sure it made a difference. Just be prepared to stay on top of water changes once the treatment is over, use seeded media from another tank if possible, and keep up with dosing prime and stability/bacteria of choice. It took my tank a little over a week to stabilize again. Good luck, hope your fish get better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
