Seachem MetroPlex 5g
Overview:
Seachem MetroPlex 5g is an effective and safe treatment for several protozoan and anaerobic bacterial diseases of fish (Cryptocaryon, Hexamita, Ichthyophthirius). It does not adversely affect the filter bed. Also, it is easily removed with carbon. You can either dose it into the water or combine it with Seachem Focus in a medicated food mix. What’s more, it will treat both internal and external infections regardless of the delivery method. When used in a medicated food mix, it is excellent for treating parasites in tanks that contain invertebrates. Moreover, Seachem MetroPlex is gentle and there is little danger of overdosing.
Active ingredients: metronidazole (70%) Inactive ingredients: excipients (30%)
Indications:
Below are some of the more common diseases treatable with Seachem MetroPlex. Be aware that many diseases and infections share similar physical and behavioural symptoms, e.g. clamped fins, lesions, loss of appetite.
- Ich (White Spot)
- Hole in the Head / Head and lateral line erosion
- Velvet
Ichthyophthirius (freshwater) / Cryptocaryon (saltwater). Looks like salt is sprinkled on the fish’s body and fins. Also commonly accompanied by twitching, flashing, and other signs of stress and irritation. Several parasites are grouped under this name, but the symptoms are almost identical. Ich is among the most common infections of fish and is entirely treatable with diligence and attention to water quality.
Suggested Treatment Period:
14-28 days
Special Considerations:
It is very important for this parasite to continue dosing for the full treatment period. Since a break in the medication allows the parasite to multiply and reinfect the fish.
Due to the nature of this parasite, it is normal for the visible signs of infection to get worse before they get better. The medication is still working, but it takes some time for the salt-like cysts on the fish to clear out. Keep up the treatment and the visible spots should clear soon!
Dosing in Water-
Remove all invertebrates these are extremely sensitive to medication. Also, turn off UV filters, ozone filters, and remove chemical filtration like Seachem MatrixCarbon and Seachem Purigen. Use 1-2 measures (included) per every 40 L. Repeat this dose every 48 hours for up to 3 weeks or until symptoms disappear.
Dosing in Food-
Feed the medicated food mix (recipe below) every day until the infection clears or up to 3 weeks. This medicated food can be refrigerated or frozen between feedings.
To enhance palatability use with Seachem GarlicGuard or Entice.
After Treating
When the treatment period is over,Seachem MetroPlex can easily be removed using activated filter carbon like Seachem MatrixCarbon. It does not linger in the substrate or filter media of the tank.

SeaChem has made a great product. This really works to cure ich and the product provides clear instructions on how to use it. This is also one of the few medications I know of that are pleco and loach safe. Just note that depending on the size of your tank, you may need more than one bottle as it does not contain very much.

Good quality medication. Ingredients are listed so you know exactly what you are getting. The Seachem website is the only one that I know of that provides additional information about medication combinations and precise treatment options.

So far I can’t complain. I’ve used it for a year or more, before introducing new fish, and it seemed to work. All the fish are still happy and healthy.
