A Quick Cure for Freshwater Fish
I have a 85 gal freshwater aquarium with 8 large Angel Fish living in a well taken care of fish tank. However a couple days ago I noticed one of my Black Angel fish had a rather large white spot on its side which appeared to be velvet disease. I ordered this product and immediately applied the medication as instructed on the bottle. Within 3 day the spot was nearly visible. I’m extremely happy I administered this product in the event any other Angels Fish were infected. I will complete medicating the tank a full 7 days before I perform my 25% water change, as recommended on the bottle. Great product and very pleased my Angel Fish are once again healthy and happy.

The BEST on the market.
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.

There is nothing better for your fish, and smells great!
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.

My sick fish feel better
My little guppies seem to have problems with their fins being chewed away. I didn’t know what was causing it, but I added some of this to the Aquarium on a regular basis for like a week and they are all doing fine now. Even some of their coats looked a little off so all that cleared up, it smells like Vicks VapoRub but it really does the job. It left the water a little bit cloudy but that’s just the medication working on the fish. Anytime my fish start to look a little off I just added to the tank for a week. I have a little tiny baby guppies that you can barely see, and it has not harmed them in anyway.

Does this smell not remind you of a hospital, therefore it must work !!!
So i swear that this stuff was made to psychologically induce us into thinking that it must work. It has that Hospital smell. Which invokes us into thinking that its some strong medicine dont it? but it lacks any malachite green, meth blue or some broad form of anti biotics, But has the extract of leaves, jackfruit or kanapa ? somehow i cant stop adding this to my hospital tank e.g my fish have ich , so copper or ich x hmm just as long as i add the witches brew all will be well, and i cant stop using this. I must be programmed to the smell. or does tannins really work ???? OH well just to be sure lets use its partner bottle too. NO harm no foul ! la di da.

I cannot comment on the item itself as it is delayed and receipt date was changed several times. The product was used before and it works well.

I got melafix for Fin Rot in my goldfish. Have been using it for a week. My tank is 590L so been using 7.5caps everyday at the same time. I think the mistake most people do is add the medicine an hour earlier than the day before and that could be dangerous. It’s always important to add the medicine at the SAME time everyday. I’ve used it for a week now. No significant changes as such. Maybe slight improvement. I’ll try for another week and see. At first the fish get really startled so it’s important to keep an eye on them if any of them is swimming to top or gasping. None of mine did as I thoroughly increased the aeration in the tank. Also, if it is very hot then there will be naturally less oxygen in the tank. For that i added some frozen water bottles (make sure they are absolutely clean). For my big tank I added 2 – 1 L bottles. Please ensure you add little amount to yours based on your tank size as the fish should not get shocked with temperature changes.Overall my fish are usually very fussy with new meds but by day 3 they seemed okay with it. Fish will only get harmed if there is less aeration, water is too hot, you have used some previous treatment in the tank (so wait at least a week and then do 50% water change and only then add melafix) and please REMEMBER TO ADD AT THE SAME TIME EVERYDAY. Not before that.If you follow these steps 99% your fish will be safe.Update:Didn’t have any effect. Treated fro almost 2 weeks diligently. One of my little goldfish had red veins there was absolutely no effect on that. Same condition after 2 weeks. Didn’t see any improvement in other fish in the case of finrot either. Maybe 2% effect? Definitely not worth the amount of money spent. Although it’s safe for fish so that’s a good thing? Please remember to aerate the tank extremely well as this depletes oxygen in tank.

Effective fish medicine for tail/fin rot. As the product is organic it does not affect the bio filter and live stock including plants.
