APIPond Melafix Pond Fish Bacterial Infection Remedy Bottle, White, 473 ml

After seeing many contradictory reviews, I was sceptical in using this to treat fin rot on my Betta fish.I gave it a try a fin was not improving with water changes and almond leaves. I used a fraction of the recommended dosage in combination to almond leaves after a good water change and went on for a week. I gradually increased the dose but still, the highest uned was still half of the recommended on the tube.Fin rot treated and happy life in my aquarium! 😄

Great product

Been using this for the last 7 years atleast and I've never had an issue. In fact it's a fish saviour in a bottle.Just want to give some tips for those saying it's killed all of your fish. 1 of 3 things has happened. Unfortunately fish can get to a stage of no return if left for too long without treatment. There is something else going on with your fish or water quality or you've over dosed the tank.Less is more! Now my fish stock is as follows 1x black moor goldfish, 4 gold white cloud mountain minnows and 1x nerite snail. Houses in a 54 litre tank (UK)Dosage on the bottle says 5mls per 38 litres or something like that. Now only one fish was affected (Norman my black moor) and had very little damage to his tail fin. There is no need to give the recommended dose. I used 4mls measured in a syringe for 5 days and he's back to proudly showing off his fins again. That's well below the recommended dose. Fish need light don't go turning off the lights for 5 days during treatment. Just reduce or dim if you can the lighting I have my lights on for 6 hours a day normally so I reduced to 3. Now for those severe cases of fin rot which is effecting the body (I know there will be people saying omg you can't do that) I momentarily and very quickly net the affected fish bring it to the waters surface and with a syringe use half a ml directly to the effected area. I once had a Colombian red tail tetra with severe fin rot lost his entire dorsal fin was down to his body did that and it grew back quite quickly. Fish are quite amazing! Hope this helped

Have been using it as per instructions when adding fish and so far no casualties

Good price, large size and super quick delivery.

Great

I read couple of reviews from people who said that this product killed their fish. I am not going to deny the fact that I was a bit reluctant to buy it because of that. However, I also read about articles about the ingredients of this product and that it helps the fish.My fish have been suffering from fin rot and bacterial infections as I was stupid enough to put new bought guppies into the maintank without treating or quarantining the fish first. As a consequent to my actions, fishes in my whole tank suffered because of it and I lost some of them due to these conditions. Now, this was several months ago which was treated with medication.I noticed my remaining fish to be hanging around the bottom or on top, which alarmed me, only to find one of my platy balooning up and dying, again due to an internal parasite/bacteria. I found this product and still wanted to go ahead and buy it despite the few negative reviews that claimed to have killed their fish. Now, my guess is that those fishes may have suffered great deal already and were going to die anyway or people who claim their fishes died did not follow the instructions properly - it may have been caused by something else as well I do not know.I am using this product on both aquarium and pond fish. Please ensure you are deluting the right amount of this product into the water! Get your calculator out and calculate for the actual amount you need to use for the size of your tank. I have some syringes which i use to measure and release into the water. I don't know if it makes any difference but I am releasing the product slowly to let it spread around slowly.I am only using it once after water changes, and my god, my fishes have been more active than they have ever been. They are happy, they are swimming and they are all eating.. none of them are hiding anymore. Same goes for my pond fish!I did not bave any probpems and I am very impressed overall. I will be contiuing to use it after every water change as it seems to be keeping my fish happy.

I have a 75 gal tank and some good-sized Zebra Silver Dollars, one of which just wasn't looking great. Used this according to directions and within a week the fish was looking better and eating well. The stuff works. If your fish has fin-rot or some type of wound, you need to to try this.

I love this stuff. I didn’t need a big bottle so this smaller one was perfect. A must need for any fish owner or hobbyist.

Good price

Worked well for my pond

I turned up the heat and doubled the recommended dose. Even killed my pest snails! All four fish survived and are now thriving. I ordered an extra bottle because it worked great. No need to ever try anything else.
