PimaFix

Directions For Use: Shake well before each use. For best results, remove activated carbon during treatment. As a disease treatment: Add 1 teaspoon for every 10 gallons (40L) of aquarium water. Repeat dose daily for 7 days. Treatment may be continued, if necessary. The manufacturer suggests performing a 25 - 50% water change every three days whenever treating with any medication.

Why Choose PimaFix? PimaFix is a natural botanical remedy made from Pimenta racemosa (West Indian Bay) oil, providing unique active compounds, which harmoniously work together to attack fish diseases. The active compounds found in Pimenta racemosa not only provide many different modes of action, but also eliminate the possibility of the development of resistant strains of disease-causing organisms. Until now, most antifungal medications resulted in unsightly water discoloration throughout the course of therapy.

PimaFix does not have this disadvantage, providing better viewing of fish during treatment. Treating with PimaFix will not harm the biological filter in freshwater or saltwater aquariums or ponds. PimaFix has no effect on pH. PimaFix is harmless to aquatic plants.

In extreme cases of especially stubborn infections, PimaFix has been designed to work synergistically with MelaFix. Using PimaFix and MelaFix together provides the added benefit of quick tissue regeneration and wound healing.

Yea, you can overdose anything. Start out by doing a 50% water change, any time a fish looks "off". I'd buy some test kits for yourself.

k im going to do that tonight and stop using pima fix iv been using the amount on the bottle and i put even less then im supposed to this morning 7.5 ml instead of 10 il post back on his condition later

Pimafix is for bacteria infection, not for scratching behaviour.

he allways seemed kinda weird just wanted to make sure he dident have anything he ate today is sitting there normal?
