Safe for daily use, it prevents disease outbreaks in new fish and promotes rapid tissue regeneration without affecting aquarium water quality. ## Description API MELAFIX Freshwater Fish Bacterial Infection Remedy soothes the transition from store to home by reducing the risk of your fish developing a disease. The fish you bought may already carry a disease. Disease is often difficult to detect, particularly in its early stages. Treat bacterial infections in your fish and reduce the risk of spreading illness to other fish with API MELAFIX Freshwater Fish Bacterial Infection Remedy. Bacterial diseases are caused mostly by dirty aquarium conditions and the addition of infected fish. Fish that are injured and have open wounds are especially susceptible, even in seemingly clean tanks. Bacterial infections, like fin and tail rot, eye cloud, pop eye, body slime and mouth fungus destroy tissue and other organs, and if left untreated, can cause death. API MELAFIX Freshwater Fish Bacterial Infection Remedy is an all-natural antibacterial treatment that heals open wounds, treats bacterial infections and promotes re-growth of damaged fins and tissue, usually within a week. Just add 5 ml per 10 gallons of aquarium water. It will not adversely affect the biological filter, alter the pH or discolor the water. For effective treatment, dose infected fish daily for 7 days, and continue afterward if necessary. Dose new fish daily for 3 days. Remove activated carbon from filter before use, if possible.

That covers them all :) That’s what I do BUT YOU MUST add a few air stones because heat and meds take up a lot of oxygen. The air stones will keep the oxygen in and circulate the water. use a few Gallons in a container or tank and change the full water everyday to match the temp, redose just the right amount for the same water you change. Changing the full water daily gets rid of dead parasites, bacteria and fungus. I have used both ways but like General Cure and heat for QT better. If after General Cure treatment and the fish still have some sort of fungus or bacteria skin problem.... then QT 7days again with just Melafix and Pimafix so they can heal completely before putting them in display tank. Also when ready to move the QT fish(s) to Display tank... raise the heat in your display tank to 85-86 for a week just to be safe ALL fish in the tank are clear of ICK so no one will have an outbreak from stress while the new fish is adjusting. This works 100% of the time for me and everyone stays healthily while adjusting. **Q: Why the bootle of 8oz said melaleuca 1% and when i select the bootle of 16oz said pimenta ..why??** A: pimenta is stronger. they probably assume you have a big tank and big fish, but it works well with smaller fish **Q: How does this affect the chemistry of the water? Does it increase Nitirite? Thank you.** A: It shouldn't affect your water chemistry at all. **Q: can i use this with ich-x????** A: No, it will kill your fish. Don't use this product at all. It is basically melaluca oil and it will clog your fish's gills and they suffocate to a slow death. This should not be sold as a fish remedy, but as a fish euthanizer. API should be ashamed of themselves. My poor goldfish. :( ## Frequently Bought Together - API MELAFIX Freshwater Fish Bacterial Infection Remedy 8-Ounce Bottle - API LIQUID SUPER ICK CURE Fish remedy, Freshwater and Saltwater Fish Medication 4 fl oz(Pack of 1), White - API PIMAFIX Antifungal Freshwater and Saltwater Fish Remedy 8-Ounce Bottle (10H) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/1627846-melafix-freshwater-fish-bacterial-infection-remedy-8-ounce-bottle](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/1627846-melafix-freshwater-fish-bacterial-infection-remedy-8-ounce-bottle) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-07-16*
