Large pallet items like aquariums are deemed delivered successfully with no damage once the the driver has left the property. Yes, it is normal to see some foaming when using API MELAFIX fish remedy, and it is not harmful as long as the proper doses were given. API MELAFIX fish remedy is a treatment for external bacterial infections in fish, such as fin rot or open wounds.

Use daily for a week when treating infections and for three days as a preventative when adding new fish. Many disease symptoms will be clearly visible, such as white streaks, lesions, protruding eyes, and other unusual marks or spots on your fish. These are usually set by third parties who provide services on this web site, but some may be set by us. WARNING: This product can expose you to chemicals including beta-Myrcene, which is known to the State of California to cause cancer. The drivers in these instances are unfortunately not permitted to assist with the pallet beyond the drop off, and cannot aid in bringing packages into the property.An in vivo experiment found Melafix highly effective against the parasite when used in combination with another product from the company, Pimafix. The product is on the list of approved treatments for fish during mandatory quarantine after being imported to Australia. Any time a physical abrasion damages fish tissue, bacterial and fungal pathogens seize the opportunity to infect the fish. It will not harm the biological filter – the bacteria in the biological filter are quite different from those that are found on the fish.

I have found both of them to help ill fishes and even if I don't always manage to cure them Melafix and or Pimafix seems to help them improve and if they do die it is usually a long time after and in what looks like a less stressful way. Our Barnabys product range is shipped via a third party and is usually handled by DPD on a free next day service, again this cannot be guaranteed and can take a few days to be processed. Deliveries are usually Monday to Friday only, although some Royal Mail items may be delivered on weekends as standard if the service is available in your area.It only works against low levels of certain types of bacteria and fungi (not necessarily all gram negative or all gram positive, but a combination of the some of each) on the skin of fish. In terms of duration, the foaming of this product can last a variable amount of time depending on what is dissolved in the water. A 2015 study on Melafix found it had no antibacterial properties against several common fish pathogens, and suggested that reports of success with the product from hobbyists might point to immunostimulant properties instead. If a report of damage is submitted after the driver has left we may be unable to assist with replacements. An in vitro experiment found that Melafix, as well as the cajeput oil and an emulsifier used in the product tested separately, were as effective against the parasite as the antihelminthic drug Levamisole.
