Review: I did notice that he loved to puck on corners and squeeze behind the sponge ... - This product really worked as described! I am a newbie fish owner, so I have very little experience taking care of my goldfish. However, I noticed that he had some scales fallen out after having him for less than 1 month. I didn't know how he had a few of his scales fallen out since he was in a 30 gallon tank. I have few ornaments in the tank, and there weren't any sharp objects as well. I did notice that he loved to puck on corners and squeeze behind the sponge a lot, so I assumed it may have been from that. So, I went online and started reading up on how to take care of my goldfish and how to help him grow back his scales or prevent more from falling. At this time, I also wasn't sure if he had other diseases as well since this was my first time taking care of a fish. So, I saw and read several reviews on this product using it with the API Melafix where previous customers and experienced fish owners wrote about it helping their fish, as well as, preventing diseases and other ailments. I thought I gave this item a try. It was one of the best products I've bought for my fish. It really helped him healed his scales. I noticed the area where his scales were missing darkened and turned fleshy again. In about 1 week or so, I noticed the area started growing scales already. I am very happy with this item. However, this product is very strong. I have a small, young goldfish in a 30 gallon freshwater tank, with a 50 gallon Aquaclear water filter system, and following the dosages for this product for a 30 gallon tank, I noticed my goldfish acted very agitated to this product. His eyes also started bulging out more. After observing this, I did 25% water change and used half the given dosage. I think this amount was more tolerable to my baby goldfish. I also noticed that my fish scales and fins became silkier after a week of usage. I'm really happy I tried this product out. I would recommend a lower dosage if you have smaller fish. I also recommend to do at least 2 days 25% water change every time you use the product.

Thanks** A: Yes, the Pimafix can be used alone. **Q: hi does anyone know,the label only says to remove carbon, but do you also remove the ammonia absorbent as well?** A: We only recommend to remove the carbon. You can leave in other types of filter media such as phosphate removers or ammonia absorbents. These will not remove the medication. **Q: Can this be used to treat the whole tank or do i have to separate the effected fish only for treatment?** A: I have a 500 gallons so what I did was take the affected fish separate to treatment. So it really depends on how big your tank is. **Q: Has anyone bought this and had the seal come off into the cap? It wasn't attached to the bottle when i removed the cap.** A: Anytime I've purchased API PIMAFIX it has always arrived sealed. I've never had an issue with receiving this particular item without the safety seal. If you are stating that when you attempted to remove the seal it fell into the bottle, however, I don't believe that would cause a problem with the PIMAFIX (although I would attempt to remove it with tweezers or some kind of tool). If you did in fact receive a bottle without a seal, request a new one to put yourself at ease. Simply contact Amazon and describe your issue and they'll advise you to either return or discard the product and send you a new one. Hope this helps! ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I did notice that he loved to puck on corners and squeeze behind the sponge ... *by P***O on October 21, 2017* This product really worked as described!

I have a 140 gallon freshwater community tank that has 3 Denison barbs (aka roseline sharks) among current residents. I’ve had them for a few years and they have gotten quite large (~5”). Recently, out of nowhere, one of them developed white patches on their dorsal side that continued to grow. He began swimming very weirdly, almost standing vertically in one place the entire day. I had lost another one like this a few years back and the local fish store thought it was a bacterial infection and had me treat the tank with some white powdery stuff. It did not work and I lost that one. This patch on this little guy kept getting bigger until it looked like he had a cotton ball on his back, I was really despairing and thought I was going to lose him. Went online and found that the cottony growth was probably a fungal infection, which led me to this product. Raced out to the local store and bought the last bottle they had in stock. Put it in the tank the same day after removing the carbon from my sump. It was truly miraculous that after only 1-2 days of treatment, he started improving, The large external fungal growth began separating from his dorsal side and completely fell off in another day, exposing the damage the fungus had caused. He began swimming much more normally and rejoined his 2 schooling mates as they darted about the tank. Also noticed he began eating again. I continued dosing for a week and then did a 25% water change. He was still not fully healed, his external scales had not grown back, so I have continued dosing for another week and will do a second water change. He continues to heal and is almost back to normal appearance and behavior again. I am so thankful for this product and how well it has worked for my fish. Can’t recommend it highly enough and plan on keeping some in stock. ## Frequently Bought Together - API PIMAFIX Antifungal Freshwater and Saltwater Fish Remedy 237 ml Bottle - API Aquarium Antibacterial Remedy, Blue, 237 ml (Pack of 1) - API White Spot Cure Freshwater and Saltwater Fish Medication, 118 ml --- ## 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.us/products/2417877-pimafix-antifungal-freshwater-and-saltwater-fish-remedy-8-ounce-bottle](https://www.desertcart.us/products/2417877-pimafix-antifungal-freshwater-and-saltwater-fish-remedy-8-ounce-bottle) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-07-13*
