Saved my fish from dying (fungal infection)

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!

POND owners be careful! Or you’ll waste $$$. Although the product itself is GREAT… Don’t do what I did and accidentally buy this instead of The POND Melafix! The Pond Melafix is FIVE (5) Cinco times more concentrated.I have a 460 gallon kiddee pool to treat my sick koi. With the POND Melafix a daily treatment is 45 ML. With this is is 225ML or half the bottle! That’s a big difference over a week or two!

Seems to be working for my koi that had a mysterious bacterial infection. Easy to dispense with measuring cup that acts as a lid.

Our new fish went from being a super star to an intensive care patient over night. This took care of his bacterial infection quickly.
