APIMELAFIX Freshwater Fish Bacterial Infection Remedy 64-Ounce Bottle

If you have a large tank with multiple fish needing treatment this is it. I was able to treat a 120gal tank and all the fish are back to being healthy.

I always use this would highly recommend

Always used in my koi pond. Have gotten older and had pond filled in so don't need anymore.

This and Pimafix, combined with Medi Koi food at the end, saved my koi. I had fin rot on almost 50 fish, stressed out by unusually hot weather this spring. I never had issues with diseases all these years. My pond is dialed in. But thist came on quick and sudden. I have a 16,000 gal pond, so netting the fish is not an option. I used 64 oz of Melafix and 128oz of Pimafix every 3 or 4 days for a total of 4 treatments each. Water foamed slightly with waterfall and aerator but nothing major. Smell is fine, kind of refreshing plus I new it was there and working. I was able to catch a very sick, 16" fish. I treated him in a small 30 gallon holding tank for 10 minutes following the instructions on the bottle. He was near death but came back out of it and looks good today.I made sure to keep a gallon each on hand and I may add this to the pond every spring now that I'm paranoid.

This particular one turns my water white

This medicine really helps get rid of and even prevent ich for me. I have a goldfish tank and getting new ones can be hard because it's not uncommon for them to already have ich or have been exposed to it while in the store. Treating with this when adding new fish can help stop an out brake. Recently I have had both my freshwater and my goldfish tank get ich from new fish after a doing a full daily treatment for 2-3 days I noticed the ich reduced if not disappear all together, then I do a small water change and treat with a little lower dose for several more days. You do have to be careful not to overdose as this can cause fish to die by putting the tank to much out of balance or just from plain over medicating them. It's also not a bad idea to add a little stress coat when treating for ich as ich causes damage to the fish's protective coating.This medicine also helps heal torn and tatered fins and tails.

Good price

Melafix isn't a medication so much as the fish equivalent of chicken soup (for serious illnesses you should look for real antibiotics, fungicides, etc), but it really helps with recovery and being able to buy in bulk is nice. It helped my goldfish heal up after a series of unfortunate incidents including fin rot and scraping up their whole side jumping out of a hospital tank. Also, it doesn't hurt my snails. The foaming is normal, so don't panic if you see that. Yes, even that much foaming. If you use as directed and NEVER administer Melafix to anabantoids (fish with labyrinth organs, e.g. bettas and gouramis), you'll find it's a very useful thing to have on hand just in case.(When treating your fish for an illness, always remember that the key to helping them recover and keeping them healthy afterwards is to maintain good water quality! All the treatments in the world won't fix a poorly maintained tank.)
