Available at TaraPet, the UAE's trusted online pet store.

API's Melafix formula has been the trusted antibacterial treatment choice for aquarists worldwide for decades, harnessing the proven healing power of tea tree extract in a fish-safe concentration.

Natural Healing Power

The api antibacterial fish treatment uses Melaleuca tea tree extract as its active ingredient, a natural compound with scientifically proven antibacterial properties. This natural approach treats infections effectively while being gentler on fish than synthetic antibiotic alternatives.

Fin Rot Treatment

Fin rot is one of the most common bacterial diseases in aquarium fish, causing progressive destruction of fin tissue. The treatment stops bacterial damage and promotes rapid fin regrowth. Most fish show visible improvement within the first week of the treatment course.

Wound Healing

Fish injured by aggressive tankmates, sharp decorations, or handling during maintenance develop open wounds vulnerable to secondary infection. The api antibacterial fish treatment creates a protective antibacterial environment that prevents infection while accelerating natural tissue repair.

Mouth Fungus Treatment

Despite its name, mouth fungus (columnaris) is actually a bacterial infection that responds well to tea tree-based treatment. The antibacterial action targets the columnaris bacteria while the healing properties reduce the characteristic white cotton-like growth around the mouth area.

Safe for Community Tanks

The natural formula treats the entire aquarium safely without removing healthy fish. Unlike harsh chemical treatments that can stress sensitive species, the tea tree-based approach provides whole-tank treatment with minimal impact on unaffected inhabitants.

Plant and Invertebrate Safe

The treatment can be used in planted aquariums and with invertebrates at recommended dosages. Live plants, snails, shrimp, and biological filtration are not harmed by the natural formula. No need to relocate sensitive tank inhabitants during treatment.

Simple Seven-Day Course

Add the recommended dose daily for seven consecutive days, then perform a 25 percent water change. The consistent daily treatment maintains therapeutic levels in the water throughout the healing period. The measuring cap ensures accurate dosing every time.

Preventive Application

Use preventively when introducing new fish to reduce the risk of disease transmission. A three-day preventive course creates an antibacterial environment that helps prevent new arrivals from spreading pathogens to established tank residents.

4-Ounce Compact Size

The compact bottle is perfect for smaller aquariums and provides multiple complete treatment courses for tanks up to 23 gallons. The convenient size stores easily in any fish keeping supply area, ready for immediate use when symptoms appear.

Eye Infection Support

Bacterial eye infections causing cloudiness, swelling, or pop-eye respond to the antibacterial treatment. The formula targets bacteria while reducing inflammation around the eye tissue. Clear improvement is typically visible within the treatment period.

Body Slime Treatment

Excess body slime production caused by bacterial skin infections is effectively treated with this formula. The antibacterial action eliminates the bacteria triggering the abnormal slime response, allowing the fish's skin to return to normal condition.

Combination With Pimafix

When both bacterial and fungal infections are present, this treatment can be used simultaneously with API Pimafix for comprehensive coverage. The combined approach treats a broader spectrum of fish pathogens for more complete disease management.

Emergency Ready

Fish diseases can appear suddenly and progress rapidly. Having the api antibacterial fish treatment on hand means you can begin treatment immediately when symptoms are first noticed, before the infection has time to become severe or spread to other fish.

UAE Fish Health Essential

UAE aquarium keepers need reliable fish medications available immediately when disease strikes. Warm water conditions can accelerate bacterial growth, making fast treatment response critical. This treatment is an essential component of every UAE aquarist's medicine cabinet.
