Ok. This BTA was separated from my RBTAs about a month ago. I thought it was just chemical warfare, but the BTAs recovered and this one did not. I just found it alive. I thought it was dead. It look like it has a bacterial infection. I don't have cypro. Are any of the following suitable alternatives?

Furan-2 (Nitrofurazone)
Erythromycin
KanaPlex

Using antibiotics is always just a guess anyway, as we never know for sure what bacteria is present, or in many cases, if there even IS a bacterial component. Enrofloxacin/Baytril is in the same class as Cipro, but just as hard to get (not sold in stores). Of the ones you listed, Kanaplex would have the closest level of activity to Cipro.
