Description
Fritz Maracyn Two is a powerful board-spectrum antibiotic designed to treat bacterial antibiotic infections in both freshwater and saltwater aquariums. This trusted aquarium supply effectively combats negative bacteria, which cause infections such as fin and tail rot, popeye, septicemia, dropsy, and internal bacterial diseases. Unlike external treatments, Fritz Maracyn Two is absorbed through the fish’s skin, ensuring deep, systemic relief. It's a great first-choice treatment when the cause of illness is uncertain and can be safely used alongside other Fritz medications like Maracyn and Coppersafe.

Frequently Asked Questions
What Does Maracyn 2 Treat?+
Maracyn Two is for gram-negative bacterial infections, to which the majority of aquarium fish become infected. Maracyn is for gram-positive bacterial infections. If you see some improvement with the Maracyn Two, I would suggest a second treatment. As far as the fungus goes, some bacterial infections look like fungus.
Is Maracyn the Same as Maracyn 2?+
Maracyn is effective against gram-positive bacteria, and Maracyn 2 is effective against mostly gram-negative bacteria. They may be used in combination. Their combined use will adversely affect the ratio of good bacteria in your aquarium, including nitrifying bacteria that remove ammonia and nitrite.
How Do You Use Maracyn 2?
+
On day one, add two packets for every 10 gallons of water. On days two to five, add one packet for every 10 gallons of water. Repeat this treatment once a day for five days if necessary. Cloudiness should be expected while using Maracyn Two.
What is the Active Ingredient in Maracyn 2?+
MINOCYCLINE!
Does Maracyn 2 Help Dropsy?+
Maracyn-Two is a great product. It successfully cured dropsy in one of my goldfish exhibitions two years ago. Keep it on hand, ready for use, as you will have to act rapidly (if, in fact, it's dropsy). It works very well for fin rot, too, and I have used it a couple of three or four times for that purpose.
