I forgot the panda cories! This is probably Flavobacterium since it's
jumping species. It's possible that the shipment of neons got a little
bit of ammonia burn in the gills and its made them vulnerable. Neons
are really packed into those shipping bags! Since this is my "be
open-minded about MelaFix & PimaFix" week, I'd go with PimaFix either in
quarantine, or on the whole tank.


In my one grand experiment with Melafix, I used Pima at the same time,
according to label. I will never fully understand the difference
between the two, the label indicates that combining the two
essentially increases the power of Mela. Come to think of it, the
price of that stuff, and a 130 gallon tank for what is it, 7 days?

Thanks, you just answered my question on whether they could be used
together....been working today so have only just been able to start
trawling through all the great responses I've had on this :-)

If I had anywhere near the amount of gallons that you have, I would
purchase my Melafix in the higher concentrated and less costly Pond
preparation. In fact, the next time I have to buy any, hopefully
never, I will probably get the concentrated stuff. Maybe I'll inquire
if the stuff stores well over a long period of time.
