I use this product to treat my fancy goldfish when I have a problem with them. It's not harsh like a chemical antibiotic that can kill off a biological filter or a weak fish, and I've grown to kinda like the smell (Tea Tree Oil.) Problems I've treated for are mainly fin splitting, as fancy goldfish may look very placid, but they can damage their delicate fins on almost any surface, especially in spawning season.

This product is concentrated for pond use, so it's also a better deal than the aquarium version, I believe.

I have not had any success treating internal problems with this product, and it may not be safe for Anabantoids (air-breathing fish like Gouramis and Bettas,) despite "Bettafix" being the same product in a smaller bottle. Use caution with these fish! And don't overdose *any* fish! Just because it's natural, that doesn't mean it's completely harmless when used incorrectly.

Raccoons got in my backyard pond and ate 5 of my fish. Ol' Al (11" body length) was barely alive. He had a big hole/bite near his gills. He was not improving after 2 weeks of trying various treatments. The wound was actually increasing in size. Al would not eat, just laid at the bottom of the pond hiding. At one point you could have just picked him up. He had no fight left in him (Usually when I need to net Al, I end up in the pond before he was in the net.) When I started the Melafix treatment, the hole was larger in diameter than one of those thick preschool age child's crayon and so deep you could not see where it ended. I started used Melafix and very quickly saw some improvement. By the end of the treatment cycle, the hole was closing nicely. The following week Al started to eat again. I highly recommend this product and will certainly keep it on hand. The shipment of the item was very fast!

Melafix is a must for any tropical aquarium & buying the PondCare Melafix is the best deal out there for large or multiple aquariums. You can't get the "aquarium" API Melafix for anywhere near this price so if you can, buy pond sized & get a great deal. The measuring lid & dose is no different than API, but at least saved me half the cost.

I bought 2 goldfish 8 years ago to cycle my new tank, I never thought that they would live through that but one did and I ended up keeping him..he is now 8 inches and in a 40 gallon tank by himself. He recently got a tumor like growth, it was a red and whitish sore like an ulcer. I used this for a week and it went away. After the very first does it started to turn black and after a week it looked like a raisin, it then fell off a week later. It left a small scar but he is back to health and no more tumor. So this stuff definitely works. It is made of Tea Tree oil and smells nice. A bit pricey but there is enough to treat a 40 gallon tank for about 60 doses or more. It was meant for ponds but does a great job in my tank. I will continue to give a weekly maintenance dose.
