Okay I just looked it up, its a powder form of furan. So "bifuran" aka Furan is primarily a gram positive antibiotic/anti-microbal.
You must understand that most fish diseases that are killers are Gram negative. That is why they combine Furan with Kanamycin, to get a Combination. Kanamycin can safely (and should) be combined with furan. Getting a big bag of kanamycin flake for 5.50 is a very good deal. Furan alone will not treat all bacterial infections, in fact its more useful as a anti-fungus type antiseptic that is combined with a good antibiotic. I recommend you do get a real antibiotic if you are having massive die offs (probably F. Columnaris, gram negative)
