    Tetracycline.

    Would anyone be able to tell me the correct dosage for this antibiotic?

    Depends on the brand..Aqua-cure Tetracycline is used at the rate of 4 g (one level teaspoon) per 20 litres. It will definately wipe out your bio filter, so be prepared.

    Better to treat in a hospital tank as the dose will be more accurate, but it depends on how many are showing symptoms.

    Hmmm - any info on the box about the concentration. My bottle says 10g/100g tetracycline. Where did you get it from?
