Note: Seachem NEVER recommends combining medications if it can be avoided. Fish typically respond better to the use of a single medication at a time, while the use of multiple medications usually
causes additional stress with no additional benefit to the fish. Seachem ONLY recommends to use multiple medications when a fish is diagnosed with multiple infections that cannot be treated with a
single medication alone.
