ABERATIONS AND WOUNDS

Aberations and wounds Aberations and wounds are normally a result of fish scratching accidentally or as a result of parasites.

MelaFix (1% Melaleuca) ENHANCES AND SPEEDS HEALING. MelaFix is a very impressive water borne treatment for superficial wounds and bacterial sores. It does not harm the fish or impact the pH and is non-toxic to all freshwater fish. However it is not a bactericide.

Consider MelaFix most favorably in the following conditions:

  • Fish are in small enough bodies of water to be treated economically
  • Fish have wounds which are lmited to the body, mouth and fins, without systemic or septic signs.
  • Recently handled fish at retail
  • Fish whose ulcers are "almost healed" but stubbornly will not go away
  • Fish with breeding abrasions
  • Small species of fish which would not survive or tolerate injection.
