That stuff has to be expired (CP shelf life is only 3 years); the company that made that went out of business years ago.

I thought so too, but I emailed them and got a response saying that it is not expired and that they have been in business since 1969. I'm following up to clarify.

In early the 1970's, when I was just 13 or so, Cryptocaryon irritans ("marine ich") and Amyloodinium ocellatum ("marine velvet") were a bit less of a problem for my fish than they are now when I quarantine new fish as an aquarium curator. The reason was a product called Marex from the Aquatronics Corporation (they have long ceased operations). Marex was sort of a wonder drug for us back then - simply adding a single $1.99 dose protected the fish in a 50 gallon aquarium from many diseases plus it killed the unsightly algae that grew all over the tank decorations back in those days! When the company went out of business I moved on to using other products.

They responded saying they are not out of business and that all of their antibiotics are stamped with expiration dates.

I'm working on getting more info...

That's not Aquatronics original packaging. It used to have the name on the front and their logo which was like a flipped C or something. I would ask if it indeed says Aquatronics on it somewhere.

This is the ebay picture.....

Lemme find out who to call to see if a place has FDA approval for medication manufacturing. It's in my paperwork somewhere. We can clear that up pretty fast.

They say they never went out of business and that I heard wrong.

NeuroticAquatics · Nov 15, 2016

EBay shows they are out of Las Vegas.

Lionfish Lair · Nov 15, 2016

I'll call and let you know....

Do they have a website address? Or can provide a business address we can verify?

Lionfish Lair · Nov 15, 2016

Humble.... I'll PM you.

NeuroticAquatics · Nov 15, 2016

I just realized that I had purchased some a couple years ago. As luck would have it, I kept what I had not used. Here's the box...

I see no expiration date

Lionfish Lair · Nov 15, 2016

Yup, that's the original stuff when they were in Oxnard. That's oooooooooold.

Humblefish · Nov 15, 2016

Perhaps ask the ebay seller to show the back or show the expiration date?

CP is very hard to get a hold of because of the regulations. Every place that "manufacturers" it should have a permit number as well... that's how tight a reigns the government keeps on this med.

Why? Can it be used to make a scheduled drug?

Lionfish Lair · Nov 16, 2016

No, it has a high abuse factor for malaria. and I think restless legs. People were self medicating. I forget all of the particulars, because it was some time ago I read it.
