Can I use this for an African dwarf frog that looks like he has little bumps on him and is just hanging out at the top of my tank? And is it safe for my other fish?
Is it safe to use in a tank that also has snails?
how many ML do you use if you have a 2 gallon tank?
- 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?
- 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

Trying to treat betta for Popeye otherwise healthy happy and active. Moved from five to three gallon filtered heated tanks. Feed freeze dried blood worms, daphnia and bug bites by fluval. Also am changing some if not all water every few days. Treated with kanaplex several doses no real improvement. Switzed to metroplex in water treatment as I don't know how food treatment works or how to dose started four doses two days apart and there is some improvement to the eyes. Med is miconidazole.
My fish has a bump on his head I’ve been using Pimafix and meta fix treatments and not sure what to do now
Hello, I have a betta and I'm sure he has moderate fin rot. Thing is I have him in a 1.1 bowl because I broke my bigger 2.5 gal tank. Ive been doing water changes and recently bought aquarium salt, bettafix, and Tail and Body Cure from API but I'm not sure how to use it in such a small tank w/o a heater... I know its such a bad environment but its not for long. I just need my betta to last a weak till I get a decent tank. Could you please give me a suggestion. I greatly appreciate your time.

Best Antiparasite, Antibacterial and antifungal medicines for separately or combination for Fish ? And suggest the dose for parrot fish or other fish ?
My betta fish has fin rot, it’s progressing very fast. Within a day there’s a noticeable difference. He’s in a 55 gallon glofish tank(I tried multiple dividers and he kept escaping with no injuries) yesterday I put some betta fix medicine but it took the whole bottle, didn’t even get the desired dose for the tank. I have a 10 gallon for the betta but the stuff for nitrogen cycle is in the mail and I know it can take a long time. I’m not sure what to do. Thank you!
After using metronidazole 400mg×2 tablets in 75 litre aquarium tank, my two parrot fish has thread like some seeing near gills and genital area ? How to treat them ?
Is the smell of Pimafix and a Melafix bad for Tiny? My fish have fungus and fin rot, and from what I heard both medicines contain essential oil/oils (I’m not sure which). It’s kinda of strong.
My year old has contracted either Ich or velvet. He is trying to scratch against his tank he has white patches but also when I've shined a light on him It also looks like he could have velvet. When I noticed his lethargy and his behavior I immediately transferred him into a smaller bowl to treat him with betafix (all I have until the pet shop opens covered his bowl to leave him in darkness His appetite is normal. He's bloated and is breathing but his gills I think are swollen. IDontWantHimToDie
My pet fish recently got sick and I am sure it is fin rot. His color is turning pale and his fins seem to be falling off and getting shorter. He also twitches and swims aggressively sometimes. I have been using betafix for 2 days now (I pour 9 drops in his bowl) but I now want to use melafix since it specially mentions to use when fish have fin rot. Should I change his water first or wait a few days before switching medicine? I am also not sure how much of the Melafix to pour in his bowl. Thanks
Hi; I have a betta I purchased about 3-4 months ago. He started to get fin rot, so i purchased Bettafix and did a 100% water change. However since yesterday (first day with bettafix) he is lethargic; all day today he was at the top (by the heater which keeps his tank at 78 F) but now hes at the bottom. Looking almost lifeless. Is there any way I can save him?
