API POND MELAFIX Pond Fish Remedy 16-Ounce Bottle

This medicine really does the job. My fish are healthy again

Great product

I use this product to treat my fancy goldfish when I have a problem with them. It's not harsh like a chemical antibiotic that can kill off a biological filter or a weak fish, and I've grown to kinda like the smell (Tea Tree Oil.) Problems I've treated for are mainly fin splitting, as fancy goldfish may look very placid, but they can damage their delicate fins on almost any surface, especially in spawning season. This product is concentrated for pond use, so it's also a better deal than the aquarium version, I believe. I have not had any success treating internal problems with this product, and it may not be safe for Anabantoids (air-breathing fish like Gouramis and Bettas,) despite "Bettafix" being the same product in a smaller bottle. Use caution with these fish! And don't overdose *any* fish! Just because it's natural, that doesn't mean it's completely harmless when used incorrectly.

ONE of item in the box leaked when you dropped her box, luck I saw the package was wet on the ground and opened it and found 1 of the bottle caps was loose.

Love this stuff. I always keep it on hand.

I had a large koi (2ft) that got out of the pond somehow and I went out into the backyard to find the dog chewing on him. We thought he was probably dead, but put him back in the pond and he slowly swam away. I bought this antibiotic to hopefully help heal the two injuries he had from the dog. The only downside is that you have to turn anything like UV lights off while you are using it, so you might get some green in your pond while those are off. However, this is about a month later, and my fish is doing great. The injuries are healed over. Note: the antibiotic does create a lot of "suds" on top of the water, just FYI. But since my fish didn't die, and the injuries healed over, I am assuming it was due to this product.

I bought 2 goldfish 8 years ago to cycle my new tank, I never thought that they would live through that but one did and I ended up keeping him..he is now 8 inches and in a 40 gallon tank by himself. He recently got a tumor like growth, it was a red and whitish sore like an ulcer. I used this for a week and it went away. After the very first does it started to turn black and after a week it looked like a raisin, it then fell off a week later. It left a small scar but he is back to health and no more tumor. So this stuff definitely works. It is made of Tea Tree oil and smells nice. A bit pricey but there is enough to treat a 40 gallon tank for about 60 doses or more. It was meant for ponds but does a great job in my tank. I will continue to give a weekly maintenance dose.

Great potency for the price but so strong you have to be careful not to over-dispense

Worked to bring the pH down.

El producto es muy bueno, pero caro si piensas en que es muy poca cantidad y además le sumas que has de pagar aduanas, siendo un producto que llega de Europa, no entiendo el tema aduanas, la primera vez que lo compré no tuve que pagar ese suplemento, por eso lo devolví, me parece que el costo del producto ya es elevado como para pagar de más.

This is a very good concentrated product if you have many aquariums. It works to cure physical damage on fish and to treat bacterial infections. I recommend this product.

Great value for your money, cured a few wounds my cichlids obtained from battling each other. A staple that anyone must have if having fish really, but its essentially just some tea tree oil with other natural additives that help heal... like aloe. This is a much better value than regular melafix, since its very very concentrated, same thing as seachem prime vs seachem safe. I use 7 Milliliters in my 75 gallon tank, and have no problems whatsoever.... 1 ml per 10 gallons, it does have the usual measuring cup on the top of bottle too.

I have used Melafix successfully over the years to treat various bacterial infections. This version is more concentrated than the "aquarium" version (the pond one is 5% melaleuca compared to the regular 1%). This is reflected in the dosage rate - 5ml per 50 gallons rather than 5ml per 10 gallons. This makes it far more economical than the aquarium version which can get very pricey. I prefer to use Melafix rather than other medications as it is safe for live plants and doesn't kill off the biological filter in the tank.
