whats is the correct use of tetracycline?
how often shoudl i redose? like daily?
every 2 days??
also how long should the treatment go?
liek 5 days?
 
15 ppm active ingredient(or 0.57 grams per 10 gallons) as a 24 hour treatment. However, I've always had success dosing every other day (with a partial water change) for 3 days. Total treatment time 6 days.
Dose day 1, day 3 water change and re-dose, day 5 water change and re-dose, day 7 water change.

You can also mix it with feed or inject it into the fish but the above is more common practice.
 
thanks!

i redosed yesterday... making it 2 days straight...

No problem. That's what we're all here for. Literature I have actually says treatment can be done 2-4 days in a row. I'd rather use less drugs as long as it does the job. Just make sure to do the partial water changes. :)
