API MelaFix 16oz
API MELAFIX fish remedy is an all-natural antibacterial
treatment that works to treat infections in fish. Common bacterial
infections are open wounds and abrasions, tail rot, eye cloud, and mouth
fungus. MELAFIX fish remedy also promotes regrowth of damaged fins and
tissue. Product may be used when adding fish to an aquarium,
particularly to smooth the transition from store to home, and if an
infection is suspected but not yet diagnosed. Some fish bought in pet
stores are already carrying diseases at the time of purchase, which may
be difficult to detect in its early stages. API MELAFIX fish remedy will
not adversely affect the biological filter, alter the pH, or discolor
water.
API
MELAFIX fish remedy will treat your fish’s symptoms in freshwater and
saltwater aquariums. If you are treating fish in a marine or saltwater
aquarium, dose with API MARINE MELAFIX fish remedy.
Many
disease symptoms will be clearly visible, such as white streaks,
lesions, protruding eyes, and other unusual marks or spots on your fish.
If you suspect your fish has a disease, it will fall under the
categories of fungal, parasitic, or bacterial. One way to diagnose is by
matching fish symptoms to the description of a wide range of API fish
remedies, which include treatments specific to Ich disease, Betta fish,
and various common symptoms (hole-in-the-head, eye cloud, fin & tail
rot, etc.).
API
MELAFIX fish remedy heals bacterial infections such as fin & tail
rot, eye cloud, popeye, body slime, and mouth fungus. As a general note,
all API fish remedies can be used in conjunction with each other
safely, as long as you are able to follow the directions for both during
treatment. We would not recommend using more than two fish remedies at a
time unless you are certain of the diagnosis of multiple ailments, so
that you can tell which fish remedies are working or not working while
troubleshooting a stubborn symptom or disease.
Yes,
it is normal to see some foaming when using API MELAFIX fish remedy,
and it is not harmful as long as the proper doses were given. In terms
of duration, the foaming of this product can last a variable amount of
time depending on what is dissolved in the water. Water that contains a
lot of dissolved organics or proteins can experience more foaming that
lasts for long periods of time, but in general, if foaming lasts more
than a week after discontinuing the treatment, we would recommend more
frequent water changes and the addition of ACTIVATED CARBON or BIO-CHEM
ZORB filtration media in order to eliminate any remaining fish remedy.
Make sure that skimmers are turned off during treatment, as this would
contribute to excessive foaming. It may be prudent to turn the skimmer
pump flow down when it is restarted after treatment, to account for fish
remedy residues until they clear from the system.
