### ⭐⭐⭐ Probably good? Update - No effect
*by Z***Z on 2 July 2023*

I got melafix for Fin Rot in my goldfish. Have been using it for a week. My tank is 590L so been using 7.5caps everyday at the same time. I think the mistake most people do is add the medicine an hour earlier than the day before and that could be dangerous. It's always important to add the medicine at the SAME time everyday. I've used it for a week now. No significant changes as such. Maybe slight improvement. I'll try for another week and see. At first the fish get really startled so it's important to keep an eye on them if any of them is swimming to top or gasping. None of mine did as I thoroughly increased the aeration in the tank. Also, if it is very hot then there will be naturally less oxygen in the tank. For that i added some frozen water bottles (make sure they are absolutely clean). For my big tank I added 2 - 1 L bottles. Please ensure you add little amount to yours based on your tank size as the fish should not get shocked with temperature changes. Overall my fish are usually very fussy with new meds but by day 3 they seemed okay with it. Fish will only get harmed if there is less aeration, water is too hot, you have used some previous treatment in the tank (so wait at least a week and then do 50% water change and only then add melafix) and please REMEMBER TO ADD AT THE SAME TIME EVERYDAY. Not before that. If you follow these steps 99% your fish will be safe. Update: Didn't have any effect. Treated fro almost 2 weeks diligently. One of my little goldfish had red veins there was absolutely no effect on that. Same condition after 2 weeks. Didn't see any improvement in other fish in the case of finrot either. Maybe 2% effect? Definitely not worth the amount of money spent. Although it's safe for fish so that's a good thing? Please remember to aerate the tank extremely well as this depletes oxygen in tank.
