- Hi guys! In today's video I talk about my opinion on whether or not Melafix actually works. Unfortunately, I've had to use this product a couple times on some sick fish that I adopted from PetSmart, so I know what works for me and what doesn't. Based off of my own personal experiences, do I recommend Melafix? Well, here's my answer- yes and no. This video pretty much explains what I think about the Melafix treatment and what situations it should be used in. To clarify, I personally use it to treat wounds and sores, but I have not yet been successful in using it to treat fin rot or fungus. I hope this helps!
Great video! Thank you for sharing your knowledge
Nice information. Can't wait to see future videos.
Thanks!
Melafix has worked for me when my fish had a bulging eye and later a few frayed fins. But the treatments are a bit of a hit or miss. The best way I’ve found is to, in addition to any necessary treatments, get the fish’s health back up.
Don’t stop making videos your really informative and have great content
Excellent video Sister ! You deserve more views ! New sub here.😀👍 Great informations by the way !
Thank you so much! :)
I'm using it in a 1750 ltr pond. One fish has red sores after a pond clean up with fresh water. It's either stress or a real wound as I have a pond heater he may have touched. This stuff really stinks like Vic's rub! It says a ratio of 24 caps but I'm going to use 10 caps and change 25% water. Then in a week's time I'll repeat it.
You should post more!!! I love your channel and I’m thinking to make one too because if you!! 😁
Nice and informative video!
Thank you!
In my experience with tail/fin rot it truly took so long that they got used to the melafix I have had 2 fish with fin rot and one with ripped fins, however he had symptoms for about 2 days before I could find a bubble filter...now I plan to give him a salt bath.🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟
That's good (well, not the fin rot, but the fact that it progressed slow enough for you to fix it)! I hope your fish feels better! :)
You deserve more views
Haha thanks
Fish Factor yes right ✔️
Nicely done. I personally am not a fan of the product but good info and tips.
Yeah Melafix is a hit or miss type of medicine and thank you!
Just wondering I have two neon tetras with cotton mouth it’s not too too bad they can still eat and stuff but I am going to try to treat them with melafix so should I treat the entire tank even with the fish who don’t have it or would that be bad
How do I cure finrot on my fish. I got a koi fish from meijer and it has fin rot and it’s tank has been cloudy for longer then 4 days. It had two other buddies but they ended up passing and they also had finrot. I just bought melafix to help with finrot and parasites but now I’m not sure on what to do
My longfin has been hemorrhage on mouth side, is it good for using these products?, i m not good at English, sorry about that.
Unfortunately I use malefix and in 15 minutes my fish die my water was right all the alkalines temperature correct filtration it's kind of hard when you raise a fish like koi since little and by using the right amount of medication for red spot 20 minutes later like I stated he passed I tried to do CPR on my koi I know that's silly that's how much my face meant to me so thank you I hope I have not opened to anybody
Good video Gabi 😊
Thanks so much!
In my experience it worked for my molly for mouth fungus however I did catch it the first day it happened
I’ve been using it for a week nothing Changed is he gonna die someone help I don’t want Atticus to die he’s so sick he looks terrible and there’s nothing I can do because nobody explains how to treat it what do I dooooo
Hi can i use melafix in my new tank?
Hi! Thanks for the video. Just lost a guppy today from fin rot 😢. I also tried using Melafix and obviously it didnt work. What would you recommend then for fin rot?
Unfortunately, fin rot is a bacterial disease that moves pretty rapidly. If you don't catch it in an early stage, then there's really nothing you can do to fix it. However, if you do catch it on your fish when it's first developing, then I would do a partial water change right away, 7 days of full dosages of Melafix (then another water change), and add some aquarium salt to your tank to help the fins heal and balance the tank levels. You can also use API Stress Coat on top of the Melafix to reduce the fish's stress and promote healing (it also replaces the fish's slime coat). Anyway, I hope this helped! Sorry to hear about your guppy :(
Thanks for the help! 😁 I'll definitely be keeping a close eye on the other three remaining fish and changing the water today. 👌
Hi! I just wanted to give an update. I lost one more guppy right after the death of the first.😔....with two guppies left I was SO stressed and worried at how quick these fish were going. (I also purchased them sick from PetSmart....). I did like a 50%water change two days ago and finally added the salt then too. Of the two guppies, one was losing their tail crazy fast and not eating and just stayed in one corner. After I added the salt it literally took within the first hour for Sunny to start swimming around and within three hours for him to eat! 😀 I was soooo relieved and am still happy to have my fishes okay. His tail is starting to grow again too. Thanks SO much for your advice and video!! Really appreciate it, you're awesome!! 😁👌🐡
No problem! I'm SOOOO glad that your fish are doing well now! :)
can i use on axolotls
I agree. I have tried to use it for fin nipping it has help to heal.
Great! :)
Good video keep it up
I from Malaysia.. I like MELAFIX
Hello I have a goldfish with fin rot (it just happend yesterday so it's still functioning what meds should I give the fish and should I medicate all of the fish or just the sick one
How do u use it I might get it
There are directions on the back of the bottle that'll tell you how much you'll need to add per gallon (5 ml per 10 U.S. gallons). You can use this when you're adding new fish or when your fish is sick.
I followed exactly the instruction to cure my arowana fin rot.. And i do a right water change also. Then after 1 week..
Nothing happened.
how is the fish now
Good vid
Thank you!
Nice vid
Thanks!
If it finroots, can't be cure with melafix, you have to cut finroots area, then treatmen with melafix it would work. And if it fungus, just treatmen with salt, and fastest water change every 2/3days fully water change and do not feed the fish daily, feed the fish once 2/3 days till the fish get better then u can feed them normaly. Also all the treatmen it depend on your water quality 😁
Melafix was waste of money, time and fish ended up dead instead. Have tried melafix several times every time fish ended up dead, no more melafix. I would rather put the wounded fish in a lightly diluted salt water without iodine.
NEVER use Melafix for Betta. I just used it and now the fish has labyrinth organ issues and has a hard time swimming.
Hey i can do a video about your channel..... what you say?
Sure, if you'd like that'd be awesome!
Fishin' 4 Fish
Soon!!
Pimafix also try this
Hey great video could we colab like we could talk on instagram or email ?
Nyz vid 😘😗
Thanks!
If u use medicine for your fish, just keep it ur fish on quarantine tank without filter,just oxygen,if u still cure ur fish with filter on it the medicine doesn’t work even u buy the expensive one.
no
Thanks you save me some money from buying this melathingy
Instead of melafix, a better option with fungus and fin rot would be pimafix.#11🐟
True :)
I used it once in a my 10 gallon hospital tank the next morning my fire mouth was dead BooHoo
