Our Pet Shop Tip

Good water quality is important when treating bacterial problems, so keep your aquarium clean and monitor your water parameters throughout treatment. If a fish has an open wound or damaged fins, keeping stress to a minimum can also help support recovery.

When adding new fish to your aquarium, API Melafix can be used as a preventative treatment for the first three days. Remember to remove activated carbon during treatment so it does not remove the treatment from the water.
