The Top 5 Most Popular Fish Antibiotics – What Are They?

We frequently get asked what are the most popular fish antibiotics that people buy, so we did some research and asked several of the different stores and manufacturers which Fish Antibiotics are the most popular and we’ve compiled a list of the top 5 selling fish antibiotics.  So here you go…

  1. Fish Mox – Amoxicillin 250 mg
  2. Fish Mox Forte – Amoxicillin 500 mg
  3. Fish Flex Forte – Cephalexin/Keflex 500 mg
  4. Fish Flex – Cephalexin/Keflex 500 mg
  5. Fish Flox Forte - Ciprofloxacin 500 mg

There are a lot of different places you can get fish antibiotics online and more than one good place to get them.  The one place that we recommend is FishMoxFishFlex.com.  The reason is they have free shipping on any order and they ship it the same day you order it.

Fish Mox & Fish Mox Forte are by far the most popular fish antibiotics that are sold.  The reason is that amoxicillin is a broad range antibiotic that is effective in many different bacterial infections.

Fish Flex & Fish Flex Forte are the next most popular.  Like Amoxicillin, Cephalexin is also a broad range antibiotic effective against many different bacteria and it is effective against some things that amoxicillin is not.

Fish Flox Forte – Fish Flox Forte hasn’t been around as long as fish mox but it is popular because it is a strong antibiotic that fights some bacteria that is resistant to amoxicillin, penicillin, and cephalexin

Fish Mox Video – See What Fish Mox Capsules Look Like

Today we’re publishing a new video about Fish Mox.  This video shows the three different sizes of Fish Mox – Amoxicillin 250 mg and the capsules of each.  Fish Mox comes in 30, 60, and 100 count bottles and is made by Thomas Labs.  It is pharmaceutical grade fish antibiotics.  This video shows that the writing on the fish mox pill says “westward 938.”  The Fish Mox capsule is yellow and brown and is a gel capsule that dissolves in water.

When you use it in your fish tank it might discolor the water, which is harmless and can be fixed by performing a partial water change in your fish tank.

No More Fish Antibiotics on Amazon

I know a lot of people who have purchased fish antibiotics in the past on Amazon.  Recently (within the last week) Amazon has taken all of the fish antibiotics off of their website.  I’m not quite sure why since you don’t need a prescription to buy fish medicine, but fish antibiotics specifically earned a place in Amazon’s “unallowed products.”  So it doesn’t look like Amazon will be selling them any time in the future either.  Amazon was a great place for fish antibiotics because the prices were good, and you could get free shipping too.

We have recently spent quite a bit of time searching for different online stores that offer fish antibiotics and medicines and we still didn’t find one that we like better than the store we have used and recommended for a long time.

FishMoxFishFlex.com - online store for Fish Mox and Fish Antibiotics

Why We Like FishMoxFishFlex -

Besides the fact that the products are in their name, and the name is hard to say:) they have free shipping on every order, free same day shipping (before 2pm), they’ll price match, and they have a lot of experience with the medicines.

All of that is nice, its always nice to save a few bucks on shipping, but one of the reasons I like them best is that they get new shipments of medicine 1-2 times per week. That means the medicines they carry are constantly being refreshed so the medicine you buy has the latest expiration date possible.  You and I both know that the longer something will last, the better, especially when it is for something as important as fish medicine.  You know you won’t use more than a few pills to treat your fish, and nobody wants to spend $30 on medicine, use a few pills and then save it in your cupboard and pull it out a few months later to use it again to find out that it has expired.
