algae removal from pond
- Meekoda, Thank you for your question. The API Algaefix is not safe for animals drinking from your pond. We recommend the CrystalClear® AlgaeOff. https://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?c=5163+5255+16592&pcatid=16592

Will AlgaeFix kill beneficial bacteria that exists in the pond? If so, how many days do you wait to add bacteria?
- Thank you for your question. Algaefix will not significantly impact your beneficial bacteria when used as directed.
Helpful?
Will this prevent mold from developing in my water barrels?
- Thank you for your question. We cannot guarantee that this would prevent mold from developing in your water barrels.
Helpful?
When I pump/clean the filter the pond water is used to water plants/trees in the garden. If I use Algae Fix will it harm plants?
- Thank you for your question. This product is safe for use with pond plants and should not hurt garden plants either when used as directed.
Helpful?
Is anything else I should use for GREEN WATER.?
- Thank you for your question. We do suggest using a Submersible UV Clarifier to help eliminate the algae.
Helpful?
Will this kill duckweed?
- Irma, Thank you for your question. Controlling duckweed includes the physical removal of duckweed and watermeal plants. Wait for a windy day when the breeze can assist in controlling duckweed. When plants are pushed to the sides and edges of the pond, manually remove them with a long handled swimming pool net or other appropriate device that can reach the duckweed and scoop them out of the water. Manual removal alone is not enough to get rid of duckweed, but can help with reducing the amount. This practice must be repeated. Get rid of duckweed before it takes over the pond by increasing aeration at the bottom, manually removing plants from the surface and reducing nutrients that create bottom sediment.

If there are fresh water turtles in my pond, will it be fine to use Algae Fix?
- My pond only has tadpoles, not fish, heron took care of them last year. Tadpoles don't seem to mind it.

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 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!
Fish has white fluffy stuff on gills and eyes as well as what looks like fin rot. We’ve lost almost all the fish in our aquarium… we thought ick initially and have dosed Melafix but it doesn’t seem to be working. They won’t eat, they’re either laying on the ground or floating at the top of the tank gasping ): we have a large tank with several peaceful species and now we’re down to just a handful of fish left. We are devastated.
My fish tank got infested with pink algae and green algae and the fish are acting lethargic and dying.
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.
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 ?
How to treat scale rot?
Concerned about what possible skin diseases?? Some of my fish possibly may have. Is it a possibility that some just algae on them. I recently treated the tank with copper sulfate because I believed that fish may have velvet.. however two days later; the tank seems to have more algae in it and the fish don’t seem any better in appearance. I don’t know if they had velvet but thought using that treatment would’ve helped in this situation. But it didn’t so want to know that they have.
I have recently used medication in my 50 gal freshwater fish tank with one 22 year old comet goldfish in it . the meds cured my fish but must have killed my beneficial Bacteria as now my established tank has been going through another nitrogen cycle. It's been four weeks now the ammonia us back to zero so is nitrite zero BUT my nitrates are now spiked about 80 and the water is cloudy. Did 2 partial water changes over the last 8 days. Will a UV sterilizer help ?? Please advise. Thanks Lina
I need your advice on the best ich treatment for a ten gallon tank with live plants, snails, a Corydora catfish, a Betta, an Ottocinclus, and a baby Bristlenose Plecostomus. The ich is very minor at point right now, but feel I should treat before it weakens my fish beyond their ability to fight back. I need something gentle enough for the Pleco, Otto, and snails, but strong enough to kill it well!
I had put an aquatic plant in my fish tank because I was told he would like it and eat it, but now he has black marks all over his body. I searched and found that it is chemical burns from ammonia due to the plant. How can I help get rid of the marks on him??
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
