Furan 2 discontinued - what do I use for zoa pox now?

[Just John]

Looks like I have zoa pox and the go to treatment of Furan 2 by API has apparently been removed by the FDA (according to the LFS). What do I use now?

 

[ClearRain]

****, Furan was my go to for bacterial disease...:mad:

 

[Just John]

@Randy Holmes-Farley, @footgal do you know what other products that I can use that contain Furan? (Edit: Nitrofurazone)

 

[Just John]

I saw a post somewhere that someone said they pierced them all and it fixed the problem. Anyone tried this?

 

[ClearRain]

Active ingredient in Furan is Nitrofurazone

I have an extra box. 1000$ shipped or trade for Holy Grail torch totally joking

I did pick up a box of it locally about a month ago after seeing they were unavailable online. If you haven't already, it might be worth checking all your LFS, even Petsmart/Petco (or whatever chain you have).

We haven't had it come in the past month, I didn't realize it was being discontinued. And around here at least, petco/petsmart can no longer carry fish meds.

Seriously, you just saved me! I have called basically every place on that map, but noticed ICHTHY stuff up there in all caps. Never even heard of that place. They have 1 box left. Now feel all warm and fuzzy inside for saving me a ton of trouble! Thanks!

Heck yes
Now heres an extra point for Salty.
This is the method I use after a few attempted failures and no relief from pox.
This method WORKS!

Our lovely government is slowly banning lots of things that work , but are harmful if not responsibly used both physically and environmentally. We have a certain bacterialcide we use to sanitize our tanks thats been banned and there's really no replacement.

While I was at the LFS picking up the Furan 2 he looked it up. The FDA said it was being marketed for a use on animals that was not FDA approved.

Thanks! You also sent me to something I now want, no need. I have never seen a green-on-green toadstool here. I've only seen these mail order.
