Are these ok for turtles?

Answer by ChewyAug 04, 2021
All API aquarium or pond products are able to be used if there are also turtles within the water. However, if you are trying to treat the turtle directly, we recommend to use Turtlefix instead of the Melafix product.

Is Melaflex safe for plants?

Answer by ChewyAug 20, 2025
The Melaflex is completely safe with invertebrates such as snails and shrimps, and will not harm the biological filter or aquarium plants.

Does this treat swim bladder?

Answer by ChewyFeb 03, 2025
The API Melafix is an antibacterial medication that works to treat bacterial infections on the surface of the fish. It may not be appropriate for bacterial infections that are internal to the fish. For internal bacterial infections we recommend API Fin & Body Cure or the API EM Powder, which are both antibiotics that can treat bacterial infections within the fish. The API Stress Coat is always a great choice of additive when your fish is sick, this is because all fish can benefit when their stress levels are brought down. Less energy spent on reacting to stress means that the fish has more energy to spend on its immune system and on healing. Just keep in mind that the Stress Coat is not targeted to any one type of infection and should be paired with an appropriate medication when active infection exists.

Is this product safe for snails and shrimp?

I recently bought a clown plecostomus from a neighborhood big box pet store. A few days later my 6 year old goldfish were covered with ich spots. I added salt to the tank, raised the temp and added Melafix for 7 days. My fish are now happy and I am amazed that they survived. Thanks to API, we did not loose one fish.
