| A must when adding new fish into pond! MelaFix is an all natural medication derived from the leaves of "Melaleuca", the scientific name for the Tea Tree. MelaFix has powerful antibacterial properties that treat fish wounds and promote rapid tissue healing. Healing and tissue regeneration in koi and goldfish can usually be seen in the first four days of treatment.
Disease causing organisms are present in all ponds. Any time a physical abrasion damages fish tissue, bacterial and fungal pathogens seize the opportunity to infect the fish. Shipping, netting, and poor water quality also weaken the fish's immune system, permitting disease problems to occur. Skin and fin abrasions are an unavoidable part of fish keeping. Therefore the potential for disease problems occur with every new fish arrival, whether it is at the hatchery, fish wholesaler, pond shop, or in the pond.
External bacterial infections cause a variety of symptoms including split and ragged fins. In extreme cases the fins erode back to the body. MelaFix promotes regrowth of damaged fins and tissue. In test cases where fish had lost all tail and dorsal fins, MelaFix completely restored both fins to their original condition.
MelaFix can be used with any PondCare water conditioning products including Stress Coat, Ammo-Lock, and Chlorine and Heavy Metal Neutralizer. Does not interfere with water quality test kits. Can be used with pond salt and formalin based anti-parasitic treatments. Used as directed, is safe for use in ornamental ponds, water gardens, aquariums, and fish holding tanks containing goldfish, koi, live plants, snails, tadpoles and frogs.
A slight foaming may occur on the water surface during treatment.
When exposed to elevated temperatures MelaFix may turn cloudy in the bottle. This is normal and will not affect the activity of the product. |
