Hi, for a long time I've been going back and forth about the right dosage of kanamycin.
I've been using kanaplex by seachem for a long time and with alot if cases and a few years ago I've seen someone commenting somewhere that th seachem dosage is like 20 times lower then needed. At first I didnt played much attention to it ,but lately I saw others who claim the same. So I did some research and found out that there is scientific evidence that the right bath treatment dosage should be 50-100 mg/l which is around 20 times the seachem dose.
Here are a few resources supporting this:
Added pics of the clinical trial that was made on absrobtion in catfish of kanamycin and other antibiotics.
What I wasnt successful on finding was the safe dose range. Like something that will prove that these therapeutic dosages atent dangerous to fish.
What do you think on all of this? Could you think of reasons why seachem would advice using such a low dose? Do you maybe has any info on the toxicity of it and in what concentrations it can be dangerous?
Thanks
