Fish Clindamycin (Clindamycin Hydrochloride 150mg) — 100 Capsules delivers a comprehensive full-supply lincosamide antibiotic treatment for ornamental and aquarium fish dealing with gram-positive and anaerobic bacterial infections. Each bottle contains 100 capsules of 150mg Clindamycin Hydrochloride — providing enough supply for multiple complete treatment courses, making it the smart choice for fish keepers who want a dependable antibiotic on hand for ongoing ornamental fish care.
What makes Fish Clindamycin stand out from other fish antibiotics is its targeted action against gram-positive bacteria and anaerobes — the specific bacterial categories responsible for deep tissue infections, abscesses, skin lesions, mouth rot, and internal bacterial disease in ornamental fish. Unlike broad cell-wall-targeting antibiotics, Clindamycin works by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis — binding to the 50S ribosomal subunit to stop harmful bacteria from producing the proteins they need to survive and reproduce.
Fish Clindamycin also has a notably lower impact on beneficial aquarium bacteria compared to many other antibiotics — helping preserve your tank's biological filtration balance during treatment. Each capsule dissolves in aquarium water for straightforward water-based treatment. Available at CalVetSupply without a vet prescription for ornamental and aquarium fish use only.

PRECAUTIONS & SAFETY
FAQ
Q: What is Fish Clindamycin used for? A: Fish Clindamycin (Clindamycin HCl 150mg) treats fin rot, mouth rot, skin lesions, abscesses, deep tissue infections, internal bacterial disease, and anaerobic bacterial infections in ornamental aquarium fish.
Q: What makes Fish Clindamycin different from Fish Mox or Fish Flex? A: Fish Clindamycin is a lincosamide antibiotic with strong coverage against gram-positive and anaerobic bacteria — the category responsible for deep tissue infections and abscesses. Fish Mox and Fish Flex target bacterial cell walls and have limited anaerobic coverage. Choose Fish Clindamycin when deep tissue damage or internal anaerobic infection is suspected.
Q: How many treatment courses does the 100-capsule bottle provide? A: For a 10-gallon hospital tank using 1 capsule per day the 100-capsule bottle provides up to 10 complete 10-day treatment courses. For larger tanks see the treatment chart above for guidance based on your tank size.
Q: Does Fish Clindamycin harm beneficial aquarium bacteria? A: Fish Clindamycin has a notably lower impact on beneficial aquarium bacteria compared to many broad-spectrum antibiotics. For maximum protection of your main tank's biological filtration treat sick fish in a separate hospital tank.
Q: Can Fish Clindamycin be used for betta fish and small fish? A: Yes. Fish Clindamycin can be used for bettas, guppies, tetras, and other small fish. For smaller tanks divide capsule contents proportionally to avoid overdosing. Always follow recommended dosage guidelines.
Q: Can Fish Clindamycin be used in community tanks? A: Fish Clindamycin is safe for multispecies freshwater and saltwater aquariums when used as directed. However treating in a hospital tank is always recommended to minimize antibiotic exposure to healthy fish and protect invertebrates.
Q: Do I need a prescription to buy Fish Clindamycin? A: No. Fish Clindamycin is available at CalVetSupply without a vet prescription for ornamental aquarium fish use only.
Q: How long does Fish Clindamycin treatment take? A: Treat daily for 5–10 days depending on infection severity. Discontinue and consult an aquatic veterinarian if no improvement is seen within 5 days.
Q: Can Fish Clindamycin be used preventively? A: No. Fish Clindamycin should only be used when a bacterial infection is confirmed. Preventive antibiotic use promotes resistance and disrupts your tank's natural bacterial balance.
