Treats bacterial, fungal, and parasitic infections
Save by buying the bundle
This Trio of Medications are what we use in our fish store to treat all incoming fish. Through our testing, this combination of three medications can be used together at the same time and is safe for fish, shrimps, snails, and plants. We have started using Maracyn since its active ingredient is erythromycin and it offers a better deal.
Treat Bacteria with Maracyn
This broad-spectrum antibiotic containing erythromycin is highly effective against bacterial infections. Symptoms can include fin rot, swollen eyes, skin redness, open lesions, and more.
Treat Internal & External Parasites with ParaCleanse
This antiparasitic medicine contains metronidazole and praziquantel for treating internal parasites and some external parasites. It is useful against tapeworms, hole-in-the-head disease, fish lice, and gill or skin flukes.
Treat External Parasites & Fungus with Ich-X
After extensive testing, we've found Ich-X to be the best medicine to treat ich (also called ick or white spot disease). It's also effective against other externalprotozoan parasites and fungal infections.
I picked up the Med Trio to use preventatively on my new quarantined fish and I highly recommend everyone keep these in their Aquarium kit! If you are looking for the guide for the preventative dosing that Cory has discussed, here is the link: https://www.aquariumcoop.com/blogs/faqs/how-to-use-quarantine-med-trio (Thank you Candi for sending this link to me! I had missed it in my original review and it helps a ton!)

Great preventative measure
I used the med trio on some newly arrived fish to my tanks. All are doing well. It is too costly to lose new fish, this just makes sense.

Fortunately, I haven’t had a need to use these products yet.
I’m completing this review because Aquarium Co-Op has sent me multiple emails asking me to review this product. I’m leaving a neutral rating, because I haven’t actually used the product yet. I just wanted to have them on hand in case any of my fish got sick, so that I could treat them immediately. Fortunately, I haven’t had the opportunity to need any medication yet. But I will say that Aquarium Co-Op handled the transaction well, prices were reasonable, shipping was fast, and I appreciated the fish stickers they included at no additional cost. I also appreciate the Aquarium Co-op YouTube channel, which I find to be a wonderful resource for new hobbyists.

A necessary evil
On occaision i have had a fish die and/or get sick, and though the water parameters in the tank in question is perfect it could just be from time and truthfully not sure why. On this occaision the fish seemed to deveope 1 one spot but not ich, and so i treated the tank with antibiotics and parasite meds, the one fish died but the rest doing fine. Im not sure why the fish died but could have to do with the school getting down low and it stopped eating and then developed somethng. The meds allow for the survival of the rest and at same time keeping the water good for possible replacement in the future.

Cover all bases med cabinet!
Watch Cory’s videos about quarantine using the med trio. If it’s a bacterial issue- use maracyn, exterior parasite or fungal problem- use ich-x, and if you suspect internal parasites- use ParaCleanse.

Great meds to keep on hand for emergencies. Also a good value!
These basic meds are good to keep on hand for any fish room emergencies. After comparing the costs separately this med trio is also a better value to purchase as a package. I recently had a rainbow become lethargic out of nowhere and I was able to dispatch the medicine quickly and it seemed to have fixed the problem. I don't always dose all new fish unless they show any signs of sickness (of course you must quarantine) but when something comes up these are my go to medicines. Good meds at a good price just order it for the peace of mind.

Better than API
Ordered this is a panic when a case of parasites in some new fish quickly worsened while being treated with general cure. After starting the paracleanse, the worst looking of the fish almost immediately stopped declining. Still in treatment now but seems to work better than others!

Med trio
This is nice to have on hand. Even if you don't need it right now at some point you will! Convenient to get here in one place and reasonably priced as well.

I have a heavy planted 36 gallon tank. Two of my Pricilla tetras get some kind of white fungus on their sides. They were too fast and smart to catch and quarantine. Used the med trio in the whole tank got rid of the fungus in two days and all of my other fish and mystery snails are doing great
