Customers say
Customers find the pond water treatment effective at helping sick fish and appreciate its concentrated formula, with one noting it can treat thousands of gallons with one bottle. Moreover, the product receives positive feedback for its value and suitability for tropical aquariums. However, experiences with fish healing and stress levels are mixed, with some reporting successful wound healing and reduced stress, while others mention their fish died despite using it. Additionally, opinions about the smell are divided between those who find it pleasant and those who describe it as terrible.

Happy fishing around!
The Koi fish loved when the water got clearer and full of nutrien.

Seemed to work
I had a large koi (2ft) that got out of the pond somehow and I went out into the backyard to find the dog chewing on him. We thought he was probably dead, but put him back in the pond and he slowly swam away. I bought this antibiotic to hopefully help heal the two injuries he had from the dog. The only downside is that you have to turn anything like UV lights off while you are using it, so you might get some green in your pond while those are off. However, this is about a month later, and my fish is doing great. The injuries are healed over. Note: the antibiotic does create a lot of “suds” on top of the water, just FYI. But since my fish didn’t die, and the injuries healed over, I am assuming it was due to this product.

Seemed to help
Our fish were getting beat up during mating season so I purchased this to help repair their scales. The pond definitely foams up but you can smell the tea tree oil so I felt it was doing something and the fish healed up shortly after.

It works.
I had good results with this. I used it on goldfish that had sores and were possibly poisoned somehow. I lost 2 fish before I tried this and saved 3 after. The smell is of tea tree oil, Not my favorite but the fish did not complain. It foams the water a bit but that is what it does. I would use this again.

Just tea tree oil?
My biggest koi, Golden Child, developed some cloudy looking skin on his head after I did a bigger than I should have water change. I used this medicine and he got better. I am not sure if this actually did anything since it’s just tea tree oil or if he was going to get better anyway. Either way, it did not hurt my fish so I am happy. I did use less dosage than recommended.

His swelling gradually got better and he’s alive and well today
Update: my fish is still alive today. His growth was stunted but alive and well!This product along with pond salt and Pimafix antifungal saved my fish. My koi fish developed dropsy, had no clue what that was at first. I assumed he would likely die based on all that I read about it. Not sure what the cause was but I figured I would try to treat the fish. Isolated the fish, was sure to oxygenate the water/container he was in, gave him a salt bath according to the instructions on the pondsalt container, added ponsalt to the pond as well. Put my fish back in the pond and treated the pond along with the other healthy fish according to the instructions on the bottles. His swelling gradually got better and he’s alive and well today. It’s been about 2 months since I treated him. All 3 products did not affect the pond plants or the other fish. Great products!

Really works for injured fish
I have pet store comet goldfish in an outside mini pond. Something must have spooked the fish, and I found one of the poor dudes wedged under a rock. He must have tried to dislodge himself because his fins were torn and he peeled off a huge chunk of his back and side. I figured he was a goner. But I read about this product, and thought it couldn’t make him worse. This stuff really works! I treated the pond as directed for one full week. My injured guy formed almost a scab like bit over the injury within 2 days. By the end of the week, the “scab” fell off to reveal perfect white scales underneath. His torn up fins were growing back, albeit slowly. It has been a month now and I have done a second round of treatment. Nearly fully recovered!

Had infected fish that got better after one treatment!
Koi pond in about 2500 gallons; has a Japanese maple over the top growing shade for the upper pond and lower pond. My pump had went out and was not able to keep up on the water. leaves fell into the ponds and settled.Water conditions were not good. One of my fish developed open sore on head and body. Followed directions and treated the water. It made a lot of foam that covered the ponds; probably from the water falls. Fish got better with the one treatment. I am very happy it was a fish I did not want to loose. Water stayed foamy for several days.

El producto es muy bueno, pero caro si piensas en que es muy poca cantidad y además le sumas que has de pagar aduanas, siendo un producto que llega de Europa, no entiendo el tema aduanas, la primera vez que lo compré no tuve que pagar ese suplemento, por eso lo devolvÃ, me parece que el costo del producto ya es elevado como para pagar de más.

Just divide the dose as this is 5X the strength of Melafix prime.

Excellent produit. Ce produit est comme ma « trousse de premiers soins » pour mes poissons Koi. On espère toujours ne pas en avoir besoin, mais dans le cas contraire, je suis heureuse dâavoir cette bouteille sous la mainâ¦

Great value for your money, cured a few wounds my cichlids obtained from battling each other. A staple that anyone must have if having fish really, but its essentially just some tea tree oil with other natural additives that help heal… like aloe. This is a much better value than regular melafix, since its very very concentrated, same thing as seachem prime vs seachem safe.I use 7 Milliliters in my 75 gallon tank, and have no problems whatsoever….1 ml per 10 gallons, it does have the usual measuring cup on the top of bottle too.

I have used Melafix successfully over the years to treat various bacterial infections. This version is more concentrated than the “aquarium” version (the pond one is 5% melaleuca compared to the regular 1%). This is reflected in the dosage rate – 5ml per 50 gallons rather than 5ml per 10 gallons. This makes it far more economical than the aquarium version which can get very pricey.I prefer to use Melafix rather than other medications as it is safe for live plants and doesn’t kill off the biological filter in the tank.
