Review: 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. Review: 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! ## Features - Contains one (1) API POND MELAFIX Pond Fish Remedy 16-Ounce Bottle - Heals and repairs damaged fins, ulcers and open wounds - Contains natural, botanical tea tree extract to quickly and rapidly help fish - Helps treat newly-introduced fish to reduce risk of outbreak in freshwater ponds - Use daily for a week when treating and for three days as a preventative when adding new fish ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000N3ZZU4 | | ASIN | B000N3ZZU4 | | Allergen Information | Apple Free | | Best Sellers Rank | #17,107 in Pet Supplies ( See Top 100 in Pet Supplies ) #13 in Fish Medication & Health Supplies | | Brand Name | API | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (1,101) | | Date First Available | October 19, 2006 | | Department | Unisex-Adult | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00317163021767 | | Included Components | API POND MELAFIX Pond Fish Remedy 16-Ounce Bottle, Blue (176B) | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Form | Liquid | | Item Type Name | Pond Antibacterial Remedy | | Item Weight | 1 Pounds | | Item model number | 176B | | Liquid Volume | 16 Fluid Ounces | | Manufacturer | Mars Fishcare | | Manufacturer | Mars Fishcare | | Manufacturer Part Number | 176B | | Model Number | 176B | | Product Dimensions | 2 x 2 x 7 inches; 1 Pounds | | Target Species | Fish | | UPC | 617407751666 317163021767 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** API - **Item Form:** Liquid - **Item Weight:** 1 Pounds - **Liquid Volume:** 16 Fluid Ounces - **Manufacturer:** Mars Fishcare ## Images ![API POND MELAFIX Pond Fish Remedy 16-Ounce Bottle - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/5122DOekQEL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Will this treat Ick/white spots** A: This will not treat the freshwater Ich (Ichthyophthirius multifiliis) parasite. If you are looking at your fish and it is not the tell-tale pin-point ich spots, it may be a bacterial infection that the Melafix will be helpful with. It may be worth knowing that this will affect the marine form of ich (Cryptocaryon irritans). If you would like assistance with an appropriate medication to use on your fish or any other questions on our products, feel free to call us at 1-800-847-0659 **Q: Need to know how much to use for a large pond. How many oz per 100 gallons?** A: Hi Kate, The label says to add 5ml/50 (10ml/100) gallons daily for three days when adding new fish. Use the same dose for 7 days when treating infections unless it's chronic infections, then you double the dose. It also says 1/4 cup for 600 gallons. Our pond is about 400 gallons and I used just under a quarter cup. Be prepared for the foaming but it does go away. We dosed in the evening and most of the bubbles were gone by morning each day. We have two streams with short falls running 24x7. Hope this helps. **Q: Can I use it on saltwater fish** A: YES! I have used this product for years with saltwater tanks, even at double dosage rate. That includes reef tanks, and the most severe reaction the corals have ever had was to close their polyps for an hour or two. Be warned, this medication will cause bubbles in the water temporarily, but they go away after a little while. Make sure you adjust the dosage for your tank, as pond melafix is a more concentrated form of melafix than regular or marine. If you have a small tank, I would just use either regular or marine strength. **Q: How many years do these last? I am trying to get the bigger bottle** A: WELL THIS Bottle only treats up to 4800 gal. So it depends on pond size. and how many fish are in it. Follow directions on the bottle... ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Seemed to work *by D***N on July 9, 2022* 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.

Great products! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Got Rid of ny Goldfish's growth or tumor. *by K***E on March 9, 2012* I bought 2 goldfish 8 years ago to cycle my new tank, I never thought that they would live through that but one did and I ended up keeping him..he is now 8 inches and in a 40 gallon tank by himself. He recently got a tumor like growth, it was a red and whitish sore like an ulcer. I used this for a week and it went away. After the very first does it started to turn black and after a week it looked like a raisin, it then fell off a week later. It left a small scar but he is back to health and no more tumor. So this stuff definitely works. It is made of Tea Tree oil and smells nice. A bit pricey but there is enough to treat a 40 gallon tank for about 60 doses or more. It was meant for ponds but does a great job in my tank. I will continue to give a weekly maintenance dose. ## Frequently Bought Together - API POND MELAFIX Pond Fish Remedy 16-Ounce Bottle - PondCare® PimaFix Remedy for Koi & Goldfish (16 oz.) - API POND SALT Pond Water Salt 4.4-Pound Container --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.kg/products/2417871-api-pond-melafix-pond-fish-remedy-16-ounce-bottle](https://www.desertcart.kg/products/2417871-api-pond-melafix-pond-fish-remedy-16-ounce-bottle) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kyrgyzstan* *Store origin: KG* *Last updated: 2026-05-08*
