API Melafix Fish Medication Review
Question about melafix for fish?
I have a sick fish whos tail is hurt, and is showing all the classic symptoms of swim bladder. I have been doing quite a bit of research and have found that melafix will help treat this problem along with a few other remedies. I have another fish in the tank with my black moor goldfish who is healthy and happy! 
Will treating the tank with melafix harm the healthy fish?
Thanks for the help!
I’m currently treating my common pleco w/ Melafix and it’s not harming the his tank mates. I’m using Melafix to cure mouth fungus and fin and tail rot. I don’t think Melafix is used to cure swim bladder or at least that’s not listed on the bottle I have. It’s definitely a strong medication smells like eucalyptus. Be careful how much you use if you bought the liquid. If the tank gets foggy then do a quick 1/4 water change cause it’s been over dosed. Also remember to remove the carbon filter cause it’ll take out the medication.
If you think swim bladder is the diagnosis then Melafix wont cure him. Melafix is an antibacterial and swim bladder isn’t a bacteria. Swim Bladder is Abnormal swimming pattern, difficulty maintaining equilibrium.
Swim bladder problems usually indicate another problem listed here. If you suspect swim-bladder problems in a fish, first check and treat it for other diseases as listed below:
* Congenitally deformed bladder.
* Cancer or tuberculosis in organs adjacent to the swim bladder.
* Constipation.
* Poor nutrition.
* Chilling or rapid fluctuations in temperature.
* Serious parasitic infestation.
* Serious bacterial infestation.
If you have eliminated other causes, make sure you are feeding the right food and make sure the fish is not constipated. Give it live food for awhile to ensure it is getting enough roughage. Also, check the temperature for your fish’s requirements and keep the temperature stable.
Try figuring out what else if afflicting the fish or give us all his symptoms. Hope this helps.
