Bacterial Fin rot
Date: May 18, 2009
"I was impressed with this product. My cory cats had a mild case of fin rot and after 7 days of treatment, they were back to being very active and the fins are on the mend.
I will be using melafix for a day or two after adding new fish also. Its not a cure all but it worked great for my particular situation.
Great product."

"Our little fish was decaying before our very eyes until we read about Melafix. Two days later he is healthy, happy, active and eating again. This is amazing stuff."

Great for bettas!
Date: October 20, 2008
"I got two betta fish from a Petco store on two separate occasions that were returned because owners had put them together with other bettas and they ended up half eaten (don't do this, people!!!). ;)
Anyway, I used MELAFIX intead of BETTAFIX due to the severity of their conditions. There was drastic improvement (fin regrowth, wound healing) in less than two weeks. If I didn't see it, I wouldn't believe it."

Wonderful Product
Date: May 13, 2008
"This is the only product I ever used for injuries that occurred in my cichlid, community, goldfish, and saltwater tanks. It works fairly quickly and keeps your fish healthy. It does not contain dye like other similar products sold."

Great product.
Date: May 13, 2008
"I use this combined with Pimafix to treat any number of fish ailments. They have yet to let me down. I also love the fact that they are a natural alternative to some harsh meds."

Works great!
Date: May 11, 2008
"I never really had a problem with my fancy Oranda's but suddenly it seemed all of them were stricken at the same time. I love how this melafix works for several types of ailments and got my fish right as rain! Just make sure to never over medicate, that can make your fish worse or die.
It has no dyes in it, which kept my water clear unlike some other brands that would dye everything!

Great Stuff
Date: April 22, 2008
"I used this on my porcupine puffer after he got sucked into a pump. It immediately helped him recover and grow skin back over his spines. It didn't affect my other fish or water quality, and I love the fact that it's all natural too."

I Can't Believe It!
Date: February 6, 2008
"This was the best remedy ever! I have four goldfish, and when I added the fourth, "Roxanne", my big guy beat her up really badly. Quickly I moved her into my hospital tank, since "Sherbert" has a habit of harrassing anyone who's sick, and she showed up with a nasty bacterial infection the next morning. My sales associate recommended Melafix, and within a few hours most of the "white fluffy stuff" was gone off her sides and tail. Then I could see the missing scales and the abrasions. It's been just over a week, and almost all the scales have come back! This stuff is amazing."

Safe help for prgnet fis fish .

"This MelaFix help my pregnet fish and did not hurt the babbies inside her at all. Which most meds would have killed her or the unborn babbies. Mother is all better and babbies were born safe and very heathly. A wounderfull med for siick fish."
