Description

API MELAFIX Freshwater Fish Bacterial Infection Remedy soothes the transition from store to home by reducing the risk of your fish developing a disease. The fish you bought may already carry a disease. Disease is often difficult to detect, particularly in its early stages. Treat bacterial infections in your fish and reduce the risk of spreading illness to other fish with API MELAFIX Freshwater Fish Bacterial Infection Remedy. Bacterial diseases are caused mostly by dirty aquarium conditions and the addition of infected fish. Fish that are injured and have open wounds are especially susceptible, even in seemingly clean tanks. Bacterial infections, like fin and tail rot, eye cloud, pop eye, body slime and mouth fungus destroy tissue and other organs, and if left untreated, can cause death. API MELAFIX Freshwater Fish Bacterial Infection Remedy is an all-natural antibacterial treatment that heals open wounds, treats bacterial infections and promotes re-growth of damaged fins and tissue, usually within a week. Just add 5 ml per 10 gallons of aquarium water. It will not adversely affect the biological filter, alter the pH or discolor the water. For effective treatment, dose infected fish daily for 7 days, and continue afterward if necessary. Dose new fish daily for 3 days. Remove activated carbon from filter before use, if possible. With API Aquarium products, it’s easy to keep a beautiful saltwater, freshwater or reef aquarium. For over 50 years, API has been creating innovative, research-driven solutions that make it easier to care for your fish and aquarium. API Aquarium Treatment Supplies are designed to work in conjunction with each other to provide best results to control algae, promote healthy bacterial growth and help control and cure fish diseases and conditions such as ich and fin rot. They work to provide a safe, hospitable environment for fish such as tropical community fish, cichlids, goldfish and more. With API, you can spend more time admiring your fish, and less time scrubbing your tank. Make sure to use all products as directed in order to ensure the best results.

  • It works!!!
Size: 8-Ounce Style: Freshwater
I had a problem with some guppy fish fry that developed pin tail. This product worked within the week that they said it would end it did not bother or harm any of my loaches! This is a fantastic product. If you can use it in tank with tiny, baby guppies and loaches without any bad effects it’s a miracle product! ... show more

  • It works.
Size: 4-Ounce Style: Freshwater
First, the seal on your bottle is not broken. When I first opened mine, the seal was on. When I opened it a second time, the seal was in the cap. You are breaking the seal when you open it, so don't assume the seal has been off. This product contains oil, so seals like this are able to slip off easier. Second, do the math for the dosage. Do not wing it. If anything, do less. I followed the measurements according to my tank sizes, but noticed my fish would often hang out at the top, likely to get more oxygen. Because of this, I would often empty half of the water and refill it, which seemed to help. Third, I used this 10-15 times within a month and thought it wasn't working until I compared photos. (Photos show before on the left and after on the right.) The fin takes a long time to grow back and progress shown in the photos is very minimal, but it works. I'll try to remember to follow-up on this review in a couple months. But as long as you are careful, this will help your fish. ... show more

  • A must have

One of the staples if you have an adventure prone fish in your tank. Heals wounds and scrapes. Use in moderation when absolutely necessary

  • It worked….Saved my fish!
Size: 16-Ounce Style: Freshwater
A new fish got white ich and fins were rotting. My big older fish started getting black spots. In one week the ich was gone and by week 2 all the fish were perfect. Many thanks for this product.
