Review: API MELAFIX: 4-Ounce Bottle for Freshwater Fish Bacterial Infection Remedy
API MELAFIX Freshwater Fish Bacterial Infection Remedy is a highly effective solution for treating bacterial infections in freshwater fish. As a fish owner, it is important to be aware that the fish you bring home from the store may already be carrying a disease. Bacterial infections can be difficult to detect, especially in the early stages, but with API MELAFIX, you can reduce the risk of your fish developing a disease and spreading it to other fish in your aquarium.
Bacterial diseases in fish are often caused by dirty aquarium conditions and the addition of infected fish. Even seemingly clean tanks can harbor bacteria that can harm your fish. Fish that are injured or have open wounds are particularly susceptible to bacterial infections. Common bacterial infections include fin and tail rot, eye cloud, pop eye, body slime, and mouth fungus. These infections can destroy tissue and organs, and if left untreated, can lead to death.
API MELAFIX Freshwater Fish Bacterial Infection Remedy is an all-natural antibacterial treatment that not only heals open wounds but also treats bacterial infections and promotes the re-growth of damaged fins and tissue. In most cases, you will start seeing improvements within a week of using this product. The recommended dosage is 5 ml per 10 gallons of aquarium water. The best results are achieved by dosing infected fish daily for 7 days, and continuing treatment if necessary. For newly-introduced fish, it is recommended to dose them daily for 3 days to reduce the risk of disease outbreak.
One of the great features of API MELAFIX is that it does not adversely affect the biological filter, alter the pH, or discolor the water. This means that you can use it without worrying about disrupting the balance of your aquarium. It is also important to note that you should remove activated carbon from the filter before using this product, if possible.
