API BETTAFIX Antibacterial & Antifungal Remedy for Betta Fish, 50 ml Bottle

100% worked , definitely recommend for Fungus

Does what it supposed to do

All good thanks

Ok but not the best

Just seems to be leaf from the ingredients. You can add these anyway. Worth a try as he has a tiny spot. Not sure what it is but didn’t want anything too chemical. Expensive.

small size good for fish who are ill

Worked well for my beta.

Here's a breakdown of the key points: * Active Ingredient: Bettafix contains Melaleuca (Tea Tree Oil), specifically cajeput oil at a 0.2% concentration. It is marketed as an all-natural antibacterial remedy for issues like fin rot, ulcers, and open wounds. Some sources state that Bettafix is essentially a diluted version of Melafix. * The Main Safety Concern: The primary worry revolves around the betta's labyrinth organ. Bettas are anabantoids, meaning they have a specialized organ that allows them to breathe atmospheric air from the surface. There are concerns that the tea tree oil in Bettafix can coat or irritate this sensitive organ, potentially impairing the fish's ability to breathe and possibly leading to suffocation. * Reported Issues: Some aquarists and sources strongly advise against using Bettafix (or Melafix) for bettas due to the risk to the labyrinth organ. There are anecdotal reports and reviews where users believe the product harmed or killed their betta, even when used at recommended or half doses. * Counterarguments & Claims of Safety: * The manufacturer (API) markets Bettafix as safe and specifically designed for bettas when used according to instructions. * Many user reviews report positive outcomes, stating that Bettafix helped heal their betta's fins or injuries effectively. * Some suggest that problems may arise from improper use, such as overdosing or using the product in already poor water conditions, rather than the product being inherently toxic when used correctly. * Effectiveness: Some experienced fishkeepers feel that Bettafix is not a particularly strong medication and may be ineffective for serious infections, suggesting other treatments might be better. Its main purported benefit is mild antiseptic action and slime coat support. Conclusion: While Bettafix is marketed as safe for bettas and some users report success, there is a documented potential risk associated with its active ingredient (tea tree oil) interfering with the betta's labyrinth organ. Many experienced keepers advise against its use due to this risk, recommending alternatives such as: * Maintaining pristine, heated, and filtered water conditions (often the best first step for healing). * Aquarium salt baths (for certain external issues). * Other specific medications targeted at the diagnosed illness, if necessary. Because of the potential risk to their breathing apparatus, using Bettafix on bettas is often considered controversial and warrants caution.

Aplicato su i guppy e funziona davvero bene

Useful product

Our poor elder Betta development a condition where he couldn't swim well, just floated and his fins were deteriorating. Also some sort of white film was growing in the tank. This medicine and regular water changes worked wonders. He's back to his old self now! Fins have mostly grown back, not as flowing, but looks like a healthy female Betta. Amazing recovery!

Helped my buddy with water changes every two days

My betta fish I rescued from a pet store was injured on her head/face, her fin was ripped and she had popeye. Betta fix cleared it up and she’s doing much better now!
