This 8-ounce bottle provides multiple treatment courses for medium to large aquariums, offering a safe and effective alternative to harsh chemical antibiotics. Melafix works quickly to repair damaged tissue while eliminating the bacteria causing the infection. Natural healing power for sick fish. Available at TaraPet, the UAE's trusted online pet store.

API's Melafix has been trusted by aquarists worldwide for decades as the first line of defense against bacterial fish diseases, using the proven antibacterial properties of tea tree oil in a fish-safe formulation.
Natural Tea Tree Formula
The api melafix fish remedy harnesses the natural antibacterial properties of Melaleuca tea tree extract. Tea tree oil has been used medicinally for centuries for its proven ability to fight bacterial infections. This natural approach treats fish infections without the harsh side effects of synthetic antibiotics.
Bacterial Infection Treatment
Melafix effectively treats common bacterial infections including fin rot, tail rot, mouth fungus (columnaris), and body slime infections. These conditions are among the most common fish diseases encountered by aquarists and respond well to the tea tree-based treatment protocol.
Wound and Tissue Repair
Beyond killing bacteria, the formula actively promotes the regrowth of damaged fins, skin, and tissue. Fish injured by aggression, sharp decorations, or handling benefit from the tissue-regenerating properties that accelerate natural healing processes.
Open Wound Protection
Open wounds on fish are vulnerable to secondary bacterial infections that can become life-threatening. The api melafix fish remedy creates a protective antibacterial environment that shields wounds from opportunistic bacteria while the natural healing process works.
Safe for All Fish
The natural formula is safe for use with all freshwater and saltwater fish species when used as directed. Unlike harsh chemical treatments that can stress sensitive species, the tea tree-based approach provides effective treatment with minimal stress to the patient and tankmates.
Reef and Plant Safe
Melafix can be used safely in aquariums with live plants and invertebrates. The natural formula does not harm biological filtration, live plants, corals, or other invertebrates at recommended dosages. Treat the whole tank without removing sensitive inhabitants.
Easy Dosing Protocol
Add 5 ml per 10 gallons of aquarium water daily for seven days. After seven days, perform a 25 percent water change. For severe infections, treatment may be extended for an additional seven days. The measuring cap on the bottle ensures accurate dosing.
Preventive Use
Melafix can be used preventively when adding new fish to established aquariums. The antibacterial environment helps prevent disease transmission from new arrivals that may carry pathogens. A three-day preventive course reduces the risk of disease outbreaks.
Post-Handling Treatment
Fish that have been netted, transported, or handled during aquarium maintenance often suffer minor abrasions and stress. A short Melafix treatment course protects these minor injuries from developing into serious infections during the recovery period.
Fin Rot Recovery
Fin rot is one of the most visible and distressing fish diseases. Melafix stops the bacterial destruction of fin tissue and promotes rapid regrowth. Most fish show visible fin regeneration within the first week of treatment when water quality is also maintained.
Eye Cloud Treatment
Bacterial eye infections that cause cloudiness or swelling respond well to Melafix treatment. The antibacterial action targets the infection while the healing properties reduce inflammation and promote recovery of clear eye tissue.
8-Ounce Treatment Capacity
The 8-ounce bottle provides enough solution for complete seven-day treatment courses for aquariums up to approximately 47 gallons. For smaller tanks, the bottle provides multiple treatment courses, making it a cost-effective medicine cabinet essential.
Combination Therapy
Melafix can be used simultaneously with API Pimafix for combined antibacterial and antifungal treatment when both types of infection are present. The dual-treatment approach covers a broader spectrum of fish pathogens for comprehensive disease management.
