TIPS:

Use with API MELAFIX to synergistically treat a broad range of infections. PIMAFIX can be used with all API products, including medications and water conditioners. Laboratory studies proved that PIMAFIX is safe for even the most delicate fish species, including tetras, discus fry and scaleless fish like clown loaches. PIMAFIX can be used with all marine fish. PIMAFIX has been tested and found to be safe in reef aquariums containing invertebrates, such as live corals and anemones. Treating with PIMAFIX will not harm the biological filter in freshwater or saltwater aquariums or ponds. PIMAFIX is harmless to live aquarium plants. We recommend turning off the protein skimmer and UV sterilizer when treating with PIMAFIX. In saltwater aquariums with no filter, a slight haze may form. Make a 25% water change if necessary.

Warning:

This product contains a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer or birth defects or other reproductive harm. Not for human consumption or for the treatment of fish intended for human consumption. Keep out of reach of children. For aquarium use only.
