KANA PLUS
EIHO Kana Plus: Advanced Internal Recovery for Your Aquatic Family
EIHO Kana Plus is a professional-grade, broad-spectrum antibiotic treatment designed to tackle the toughest internal and external bacterial challenges. Using Kanamycin Sulfate as its powerful active ingredient, it effectively eliminates both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, as well as several fungal strains.
This formula is a lifesaver for Freshwater, Marine, and Reef hobbyists because it is uniquely absorbed through the skin and gills. This means it can effectively treat systemic infections—like those affecting the kidneys or swim bladder—even if your fish has completely stopped eating.
Why You Need This
When your fish are suffering from internal distress, they can't always tell you what's wrong, but they show the signs. Kana Plus is your reliable solution for these common "pain points":
-
The "Pine-Cone" Look: Effectively treats Dropsy, where fluid buildup causes scales to stand out, by targeting the internal bacterial infection.
-
Popeye & Cloudy Eyes: Reduces the pressure and infection behind the eye ($Exophthalmia$) that causes bulging and haziness.
-
Lost Appetite: Since it is absorbed through the gills, it works on fish that are too sick to ingest medicated food.
-
Bloody Streaks: Clears up Septicemia, a dangerous condition where bacteria enter the bloodstream and cause red lines along the body and fins.
-
Advanced Rot: Halts aggressive fin, tail, and body rot before it reaches the fish's vitals.
Instructions
Administering medication shouldn't be stressful. Follow these steps to ensure a safe and effective recovery period:
-
Prep your tank: Begin with a 25% water change to ensure the water is clean.
-
Clear the filter: Remove activated carbon and any chemical resins, and turn off your UV sterilizer. These will deactivate the Kanamycin before it can help.
-
Dose accurately: Use 2g (approx. 2.5ml) for every 50 liters of tank water. Use the provided spoon and wear gloves to avoid direct skin contact with the powder.
-
Follow the cycle: For a full course, add the dose on Day 1, Day 3, and Day 5.
-
Water changes: We recommend a small (25%) water change before each new dose to keep water quality pristine during the 5–7 day treatment period.
Expert Tip: Kanamycin is a "heavy hitter" but is relatively gentle on the bio-filter compared to other antibiotics. However, to stay on the safe side, avoid overfeeding during treatment. If you notice a slight spike in NH3 (Ammonia), a small dose of a bacterial starter can help keep your nitrogen cycle stable while the fish heal.
FAQ
Is EIHO Kana Plus safe for my reef and invertebrates?
Yes, Kana Plus is generally considered safe for most corals and invertebrates when used at the recommended dosage. However, in a reef environment, it is always suggest monitoring your more sensitive "SPS" corals closely. If you’re worried, treating sick fish in a separate hospital tank is always the gold standard.
Will this medication stain my aquarium silicone or decor?
Not at all! Unlike some older treatments, Kana Plus will not discolor your water, stain your ornaments, or turn your silicone blue or yellow. Your tank stays looking natural throughout the process.
Can I mix this with other medications?
As a rule of thumb, it's best not to "cocktail" medications unless you're an experienced hand. While Kana Plus is stable, mixing it with other strong chemicals can stress a fish’s liver. If you need to treat for parasites simultaneously, reach out to a pro first!
Does it affect the live plants in my freshwater tank?
Most aquatic plants, including common species like Anubias or Java Fern, handle Kana Plus very well. You shouldn't see any "melting" or leaf loss during a standard 7-day treatment course.
What should I do after the treatment is finished?
Once the 7 days are up, perform a final 30-50% water change and put fresh activated carbon back into your filter. This will remove any remaining medication and get your water back to its baseline.
