INDICATIONS & USAGE SECTION

WHY USE MELAFIX?

Promotes re-growth of damaged fins and tissue

Reduces risk of disease spread when introducing new fish

Made from a botanical extract

Healing and tissue re-growth can often be seen within 4 days of treatment. Will not harm the biological filter. Safe for snails, aquatic plants and other wildlife. MELAFIX is also recommended when adding new fish to a pond to reduce the risk of disease outbreak.
