Nitrofurazone is one of those meds that shows up in fish forums, emergency posts, and product blendsโbut most hobbyists donโt really know what it does (or when to use it).
Used properly, this broad-spectrum antibacterial can be a lifesaver in treating fin rot, open wounds, and external infections. But used blindly? It can stress your fish, crash your biofilter, and create more problems than it solves.
โข What nitrofurazone treatsโand what it doesnโt
โข Safe dosing strategies for dips, baths, and hospital tanks
โข Why it should never go into your display tank
โข How it interacts with other medications (and when to avoid combos)
โข Real-world use cases and common pitfalls
If youโve got a first aid kit for your fish, nitrofurazone deserves a place in itโbut only if you know how to use it right. This article walks you through everything you need to know, step by step.
