I didn't read up on this and after I applied it ALL my fish were gasping for air and it will kill a Betta or gourami. Do not get. There are other treatments available.

No, I do not recommend this product.

Worked within a week! Fish are happy and swimming again. No red fins or white spots.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Worked perfectly for removing a small white spot on my fish. Will definitely use again if needed.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Used it on the first day I noticed sign of a fungal infection in one fish, 5 days after treatment and 3 fish are dead. So far it doesn’t seem to have spread further so it probably works a little

No, I do not recommend this product.

Helpful?

Fixed my issue in 48 hours. It was nice to find a solution that didn't turn the tank blue.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Honestly, I don’t know if it worked because my fish died the next day. I wasn’t able to save him in time. I used this and Melafix at the same time and added a heater to the tank, but he was in bad shape already.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Helpful?

I bought this b/c I was seeing so many positive reviews. I don't think it's working 4 my fish. I've been treating 4 6 wks. I think it's showing very little improvement.

No, I do not recommend this product.

I don't know about your fish, but do not buy for Betta or other labyrinth lung fish. I watched my betta nearly die upon the 4th dose of this. He was drowning, and hugging the filter, until I quickly (relatively considering tank acclamation) moved him to a new tank where he immediately started acting normal. Fish people swear this is a miracle for their non-labyrinth lung fish. Just I would stress not to buy this for Betta treatment.

No, I do not recommend this product.

how many ML do you use if you have a 2 gallon tank?

5 years ago
If you have a dropper I would so 6-9 droplets, if using the cap..literally 1/5. You don’t need much and it kind of foams up from the movement of the filter.

Directions states to use 5ml to 10 gallon tank I have a 1 gallon fish bowl how much should I use?

5 years ago
5ml per 10 gal = 2.5ml per 5 gal 1.25ml per 2.5gal .62ml per 1.25gal So 0.5 ml would treat 1 gal You need a 1 ml syringe and give 0.5 or 1/2 ml for your 1 gal tank
