    • Fins appear ragged and split. Disease can progress until fins and tail are completely eroded.

    • Secondary fungal infections commonly occur.

    • Fish develop a bloated appearance due to accumulation of fluid in the body cavity.

    • Scales may appear to stick out from the sides of fish.

    • In advanced cases, fish lose the ability to swim and may float upside down.

    • If infested with parasites, fish may scratch on objects in the aquarium and exhibit rapid breathing.

    Mouth Fungus – Saddleback Disease

    • Raised, gray patches are observed on the fins and mouth areas of fish.

    • Live bearers, such as guppies and mollies, develop grayish patches on their backs, giving rise to the name “saddle back disease.”

    • Infected areas may develop into red ulcers and infect the gills, causing rapid loss of fish.

    • We recommend API MELAFIX (or BETTAFIX if you have a betta fish) or PIMAFIX, or alternatively FURAN-2 or FIN & BODY CURE.

    Bacterial Gill Disease

    • Most parasitic worms are not visible without the aid of a microscope. Fish will scratch against objects and appear listless. A grayish film may form one the body.

    • Rapid breathing in fish may be accompanied by gasping at the surface of the water, or the fish sitting on the bottom of the aquarium.

    Hole-In-The-Head Disease (Hexamita)

    • The most obvious symptom is the pitting and erosion of skin and muscle tissue around the face of the fish. This erosion appears to be a symptom of the parasite’s presence in the intestinal tract, not on the surface of the fish.

    • Many fish exhibit poor appetite, weight loss and nervousness; without proper treatment, death ultimately results.

    • We recommend API GENERAL CURE

    Ich (Ichthyophthirius)

    • Early symptoms of this infection in fish include darting in the aquarium and scratching against the gravel and ornaments.

    • Fish exhibit labored breathing and may remain at the water’s surface, near filters and aeration devices.

    • White spots may or may not be visible on the fish.

    • We recommend API SUPER ICK CURE along with API AQUARIUM SALT

    Subclinical Parasitic Infestation

    • Fish may scratch on objects in the aquarium.

    • Slimy skin may develop on fish and fins may be clamped.

Product 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 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. With API Aquarium products, it’s easy to keep a beautiful saltwater, freshwater or reef aquarium. For over 50 years, API has been creating innovative, research-driven solutions that make it easier to care for your fish and aquarium. API Aquarium Treatment Supplies are designed to work in conjunction with each other to provide best results to control algae, promote healthy bacterial growth and help control and cure fish diseases and conditions such as ich and fin rot. They work to provide a safe, hospitable environment for fish such as tropical community fish, cichlids, goldfish and more. With API, you can spend more time admiring your fish, and less time scrubbing your tank. Make sure to use all products as directed in order to ensure the best results.
