  Fungal Infection • Whitish cottony tufts or patches appear on the mouth, skin and fins of tropical fish, goldfish and koi. • We recommend API PIMAFIX.	Fin And Tail Rot • Fins appear ragged and split. Disease can progress until fins and tail are completely eroded. • Secondary fungal infections commonly occur. • We recommend API MELAFIX (or BETTAFIX if you have a betta fish), or alternatively PIMAFIX, FURAN-2 or FIN & BODY CURE.	Dropsy and Malawi Bloat • 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. • We recommend API MELAFIX (or BETTAFIX if you have a betta fish) or PIMAFIX, or alternatively FURAN-2 or FIN & BODY CURE.	Bacterial Hemorrhagic Septicemia • Fish show blood streaks in the fins and body. • We recommend API MELAFIX (or BETTAFIX if you have a betta fish), or alternatively PIMAFIX, FURAN-2 or FIN & BODY CURE.

  Eye Cloud, Body Slime • Eyes develop a whitish haze and/or protrude from the head. • Hazy or slimy patches appear on the bodies of fish. • If infested with parasites, fish may scratch on objects in the aquarium and exhibit rapid breathing. • We recommend API MELAFIX (or BETTAFIX if you have a betta fish), or alternatively PIMAFIX, FURAN-2, or FIN & BODY CURE.	Open Red Sores • Fish exhibit open red sores on the body. • We recommend API MELAFIX (or BETTAFIX if you have a betta fish), or alternatively PIMAFIX, FURAN-2 or FIN & BODY CURE.	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 • Fish will scratch against objects and appear listless. A grayish film may form on 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. • Gills undergo severe damage, leading to suffocation and death. • We recommend API MELAFIX (or BETTAFIX if you have a betta fish), or alternatively PIMAFIX, FURAN-2 or FIN & BODY CURE.

  Flukes/Parasitic Worms • 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. • Gills undergo severe damage, leading to suffocation and death. • We recommend API GENERAL CURE. For secondary or fungal infection, use MELAFIX (or BETTAFIX if you have a betta fish) and PIMAFIX together.	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. • Labored breathing may be observed. • We recommend API SUPER ICK CURE along with API AQUARIUM SALT; or alternatively MELAFIX (or BETTAFIX if you have a betta fish) and PIMAFIX together.
