Medicine Combos?

I'm currently treating my 5 gallon Betta tank with Tetracycline for fin rot. Can I also use the Melafix along with it? Both are made by the same company, API, but I can never get through to talk with a live person when I call and they didn't return my message.

Yes you can but you will need good aeration in the tank.
Though tetracycline is a good antibiotic don't really need the melafix.
Also tetracycline will wipe the bacteria colony out in your filter.

Ok, I'll just stick with the Tetracycline then. According to the manufacturers website it says "This medication will not harm the biological filter." But, my tank isn't cycled yet so it probably wouldn't matter anyway.

Good luck.
