API MELAFIX Freshwater Fish Bacterial Infection Remedy 16-Ounce Bottle

My goldfish had fin rot, so I got this product to see if it would help with that. I used it just as it instructed and within a few days the fin rot got way better! Now he is a happy and healthy fish again! This is an essential for fish first aid! Great size and good value. Easy to use too.

I’ve been using API Melafix for years and it’s one of the few products I always keep on hand. It works great in my aquarium and helps keep my fish healthy and happy. Anytime I notice minor issues or stress, a dose of Melafix usually does the trick.

I read reviews before repurchase in case a bad seller or something. I see reviews saying it killed my fish or beware and it’s only as good as the user. I have had close to 20 tanks going at once with all kinds of fish, plants and invertebrates, all kinds. This kills nothing if used properly and providing the right environment for the fish. This means fish get sick because of water quality, improper housing or introducing an infected item into the tank. So one of those are your first problem to correct.So back to introducing this medication into your tank, it will not stain anything or hurt any living thing in your tank. All tanks need a filter or air stone (even bettas/surface breathers) on tanks with lighter agitation Need To Add Oxygen To The Water! This stuff makes the water kind of thicker for lack of a better word. It’s like us walking uphill, adds stress to a sick fish if not given ample oxygen in the water. If you do not correct this, a sick fish will die. My fish will be less active when down to one filter and this stuff, I throw in an extra air stone and their back chasing each other again. Cloudy tanks...lack of proper filtration, too much meds?? Why happen in some tanks and not others? I add mine slowly, giving the fish time to adjust to something new. Another way to think of it, is if you have Cory Catfish in your tank, ten other people have Cory in their tank. We all introduce the medication, yours die, other ten tanks fish are healed, law of averages says the medication is not the problem. Should be listed in description, people obviously don’t just know this. This is my go to for most causes. Also the higher the temp in your tank, the less oxygen provided, so if you turn up the heat make sure the oxygen level is comfortable. Watch your fish whenever introducing something new.I am currently treating my tank with a full dose of Melafix and a full dose of Pimafix. My baby Angelfish, no bigger then a dime are doing just fine.

This medication works really well and you need to follow the instructions. It's great that it didn't kill my aquatic plants!! It does seem to take a little longer to work with my Cory Cats but this does the job it is advertised to do and has been a life saver for probably 15 years now!

I first bought this product on Amazon in March 2011, I have since bought 16oz once a year till 2013, and then I bought a 64oz, which I stored to long and went bad, but that is on me. I just bought another 16oz again for my 5th time in 2024. I love this stuff, it has saved so many fish of mine over the years. It is not a miracle cure, if a fish is to far gone, it won't save them. Its great for other fish, put in with new fish, little bit each week just to keep everyone healthy. I have NEVER had it ever harm a fish ever. Though, like with anything, I am sure that potential exists if not used as directed.I really cannot recommend this stuff more, it is the best fish product I have ever bought, it works, its safe 99% of the time, and it smells great, your tank will smell better. I cannot say enough good about this product. If you have fish, you should keep this in stock.

Plenty of different brands online that claim to do the same thing. Of them all, I trust API the most.My fish were showing signs of fin rot despite perfect water conditions. To any experienced fish keeper, you already know how scary that can be. The last thing I ever want is to lose any of my beautiful fish.This product right here will give your fish a second chance at life despite what bacterial bloom you experience in your tank.It’s also simple. Dose according to instructions for the duration needed and boom, this stuff works its magic. You can now go back to enjoying your aquascape in peace.I have used this product many times before. In nano tanks, tanks big and small, even my pond! Highly recommend.

I use this in two areas, on new arrivals that have to be quarantined OR I did try it on a relocated juvenile Plecostomus that had his fins bitten by my Snow White Parrot cichlids. Only used it for a few days, plecos fins have shown signs of healing with no infection noted.

It really works, I bought it and with in days my sick fish looked better. I been using the product for a few days and I am very happy with the results.
