- This is a short video on how to cure fin rot. Although it is prevalent,, fin rot is easy to cure if it doesn't go to far. Simply use Melafix. It is an effective treatment especially for countries that can not get antibiotics. Melafix is an all natural treatment from tea trees. This particular video demonstrates how I treated my guppies for fin rot.

Great video Ron! I feel like I have something to add. Although Melafix is a good fin rot cure, it should be noted that it’s not an appropriate option for fish with labyrinth organs, such as bettas and gourami, because they go to the surface to breathe air, and melafix creates an oily residue on the surface of the water that labyrinth fish can breathe in and suffocate on. Same goes for bettafix, and pretty much any medication with “fix” in its name, as the oil comes from the tree oil that is the active ingredient in such medications. If you have a betta or gourami or other labyrinth fish with fin rot, the recommended cure is lots and lots of fresh clean water via daily water changes.
Jeremy's Wild Studio thanks Jeremy. I appreciate you expanding on this subject. Knowledge helps us all
Friday Fish Facts of course! I’m glad to help spread as much knowledge as I can :)
Thank you for the video because Melafix really is a great option for most fish. It’s just those pesky labyrinth fish that are the exception
Nice add brother
Shoot just put this in with my betta, thanks for the input!

Thank you!
another cool informative video Mr De Santis!! thanks for sharing the knowledge👍👍
Hahaha thanks man
Thanks for the info!
Very intresting and information Ron well done. 👍
Nice info on how to treat fin and tail rot, I use melafix for mild cases of fin and tail rot, for more resistant strains of bacteria I like to use kanamycin powder in the water or in their food, I also had good luck with mardel maracyn 2
Nice tip on the fin rot
Great info good stuff man
Very good information Ron 👍
Nice video! I could of used this a couple months back!
Can I add api aquarium salt along with melafix. I got 30 gallon aquarium and I'm seeing fin rot. Have started with melafix from last 3 days.
interesting and informative share
interesting and informative video my friend.
The bacteria that cause fin rot is naturally occurring in every aquarium. It doesn't just come from pet stores or somewhere specific, it's everywhere. All it takes is the fish to become stressed from a multitude of things which weakens the immune system and it strikes. So when ever someone says 'it must have come from the pet store' isn't exactly correct. It's always in your tank no matter where your fish came from. Good water quality reduces risk of infection it's doesn't prevent it. Keeping fish healthy, well fed on a balanced diet, clean, relaxed and stress free is the true prevention.
sorry to see your guppies had to deal with fin rot. Hopefully they're good as new soon!
One didn’t make it but looks like the other two will
Malafix make from tea? But why the price like make from gold
I have a platinum betta fish and tbh after a week hes suddenly has small grey parts on his fin. My husband has thankfully woke up when he was leaving for work and well, saved his life. We are both unsure what to get to treat his fin rot because of mixed reviews. We tried almond indian leaves but they gave us small ones when we were promised big ones. Im unsure where to buy some that are big. Or what sort of antibiotic to use. If someone can help that would be great.
my goldfish (that i have had for 4 years) out of no where now has black tips of all of the tails and fins, i was wondering if it was fin rot or not since there is no breakage or separation of the tail. can someone please help me i don't want him to die!
Nice video 👍😉🙋🍃

Shoves the fish in a fax machine
I put my ghost shrimp from the betta tank in with other fish after my betta got fin rot because he was being aggressive with her. Will the bacteria carry from the shrimp to the other fish? I know it was a stupid mistake 😭
HELP - I got 4 male guppies to start my new 12 gallon tank. They were ordered online and have had them for 2 weeks now, all seemed fine. The largest one has a slight black/grey colour on the end of his tail since we got him but I thought it was going away. Just now I noticed a small hole in the middle of his tail. The other fish all look ok but I don't have a quarantine tank or any medication. Obviously I can't go to a pet shop, what do I do? The medication in this video - on amazon is not currently being shipped to the UK
I would do a large water change. After that test your water. Even if it reads normal, do another. Guppies do like a ph of 7
Just wondering how long until they take to heal and also what to expect them to look like when healed since you stated they would be different?
Depends on the damage. Minimal and they can show full recovery. As far as how long, no more than a week in my experience
I'm 11 years old and I research a lot about fish but.my parents think I'm joking pls help
Hello, I’ve a crazy question. Couple of weeks before when I bought new fishes from pet store (3gold fish), I was little afraid of any disease spread in the main aquarium, so I planned to quarantine them in 10 gallon tank. I took tap water, added aquasafe and then added Melafix (less than 5ml). Within hours all the fishes died. I was wondering whether it was due to water issue and so I tested the water (all parameters were good). Today one of my older gold fish just started having fin rot and planned to quarantine. Tap water + aquasafe + aquarium salt and 2 ml of Melafix. Same situation again within an hour my fish died. I feel disheartened for quarantining the fish rather I should have kept my fish on my actual aquarium. :(. Does Melafix harm or kill fish for any reason? Can anyone advise please. Thanks in advance.
That’s very bizarre. I’m curious if the fish would have died in your QT tank if you had not added melafix
Friday Fish Facts - Yeah that’s very strange. Will over dose of Melafix kill the fish? The odor of Melafix is too strong and I have this doubt since it happened as second instance today.
@@SRUBEN1286 overdoses will kill the fish my goldfish that was quarantined died bc it was the first time I used melaflix and doubled the dose by accident.
Hi! I've got goldfish, and their fins have become partially discolored, but that's been going on for a quite a while already, they haven't lost any portion of their fins, so I don't know if it's fin rot or something else (my black moor is losing its blackness too), I don't have a lamp either, so I don't know if that has anything to do with it, they barely have any sun lighting hitting them. Thanks in advance.
So are they outside in a pond? Do you use a filter?
@@FridayFishFacts Hi, thanks for replying; It's an indoors aquarium, It has mechanical and biological filtration, filter power it's fairly above requirement, aquarium it's roughly 25 gallons and I have two medium sized goldfish, Oranda and Black moor, they've live there since they were very small, for more than a year now, I do partial water changes at least once a week, but most of the times twice a week, I siphon at least once a week, and do a big maintenance once a month (clean the crystals, clean/change the sponges, and so on) I even have a pothos growing on the filter, but that's kind of new, a month or so, and the discoloration's been going on for months; I read it might have to do with the lack of aquarium illumination, but I just want to make sure it's not rot. Thanks again for your advice.
Personally chemicals are my last resort I like to up my water changes....
Rounded Rob I’m with you there. Last resort. If I need to alter ph etc, I use natural items, not chemicals
What about for saltwater fish?
I am glad that you healed your fish because I tried melafix and it didn't help that much. I am thinking of trying api furan 2 or tetra lifeguard
I find if it’s too far gone, melafix is not effective
Friday Fish Facts my black moor goldfish has a bad case of fin rot but what i have tried hasn't worked
I have been having really bad luck with my guppies, I currently have three new guppies in my tank and two of them already got fin rot and made sure everything is right I have a good water temperature the pH levels are fine and everything I’m so confused I want a treatment
amber husband guppies aren’t as easy as people say. I much prefer to buy mine from a local breeder. This way they’re already accustomed to our water.
Friday Fish Facts yeah, I got mine from a local pet store, and I have gotten guppies from them in the past and they got fin rot as well, and sadly died because I couldn’t treat it in time
Hi Ron, Melodee here from the VAHS. Where did you get your new guppies if I may ask?
Melodee V hey how are you!!! I got them from fish addicts. But they all have fin rot right now so they aren’t selling them right now. I’ve got some fry, hopefully more soon. I also have blue Hawaiian Moscow’s that I got down in Washington and they are doing really well
@@FridayFishFacts Ah yes, the Coop visit. SO JEALOUS!!! You brought back quite the haul, did you have any trouble getting everything back across? But seriously . . . no O'Nip tabs??? What were you thinking? lol
With fish I’ve never had a problem. Plants, yes, they can be a hassle. I did get some o’nip tabs 😄
When I asked a pet store near me about what to do they gave me quick heal and worm out and also told to give the fish salt baths will this work?
An Epson salt bath? I would only do that as a last resort
okay thank you
That stinks, thanks for the good info Ron..
I don't know if you see this but I have a fish with fin rot and I don't have medicine and the pet store is closed what do I do
Can you order any on Amazon?
@@FridayFishFacts no I'm a kid and my parents don't let me order anything I don't want him to die
Melafix is some good stuff
Is it okay to use some ordinary salt just to cure a fin rot disease?
Jonathan Musong you can try aquarium salt. The salt has to have no iodine
Bro listen My fish also got fin rot so what medicine i will use!!
Plz reply....
If you can get it, erythromycin. Otherwise melafix
they don't sell that anymore here good job
David's Fish Tanks oh really. Which country is that?
I live on Ont. Canada can you find it
+David's Fish Tanks yes. I’m in BC Canada. Every Petsmart has it since it’s not an antibiotic
Would have been nice to see your guppy at the end of the week, anyway.
Hi bro ! you have a really nice channeL , and i subcribe immediately 💛 see you soon....
