Review: Thank god for the tables - Works well fish reacted well there was no bad reaction in my tank. Anything you can put in tablet for him for a fish tank makes life so much easier.
Review: Works - We tried a LOT of things before this but none of them worked (tried changing the water PH, tried the fin oil, tried erythromycin, etc.). We opted to move the fish to a big bin to avoid staining things in the tank and give more water for the medication and so it was a little bit of a pain but I will say that it actually resolved the fish's issue. We have a beautiful red and blue beta fish and the tail started to have problems, started to eventually wear away and then started to tear. We thought that it may be too late to fix the fish's fins but this actually worked. By the time it went back into the tank you couldn't really see an improvement but over the next few weeks the fish returned to a vibrant color with the fins improving and it seemed more alive. We will use this again when needed.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What are the active ingredients?**
A: doxycycline

**Q: Does api fin and body cure & api melafix treat the same things since they are both anti-bacterial meds?**
A: API Fin and Body Cure is an antibiotic where API Melafix is an antibacterial.  They target different types of bacteria that cause the similar symptoms in fish.

**Q: What would I do if I have a 3 gallon tank?**
A: To dose a smaller volume aquarium with a medication packet, you would need to dissolve an entire packet of medication into 10ounces of dechlorinated water.  You use however much medicated water in ounces to gallons you have.  
For example- Dose 1.5ounces for your 1.5 gallon aquarium.  Or 4 ounces to 4 gallons etc.  

You must dispose and make up a new batch of medicated water each time you need to dose the aquarium.

**Q: First 2 days my water was yellowish-brown, now its pink... is that normal???**
A: Yes, this is normal. The final water exchange will reduce the color and adding the carbon back to the filter will reduce the color.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fish saver
*by K***L on December 24, 2024*

This has saved a few of my fish lives so far. I was dealing with redness along the fins where they meet the body and red gills and I was pretty skeptical this would work. I have been doing them one by one in a hospital tank with the four day treatment and it works! The thing that's irritating is a ten pack- it's a 4 day treatment, 10 is not divisible by 4. And the packs are not very cheap. Definitely do this in a hospital tank as it stains the water. If you don't have one, look for an aquarium club in your city and people always have extra tanks and equipment for cheap.
