I used it on fish who was in a q-tank because he was new and he had a
cotton like fluff comeing from a gill. And Melifix took care of that.

Other than that, I have use it for torn fins on danios, minnows and a
really sick ram.

If I had a real sick fish, I would have other medications on standby.
And if the fish was really bad I would use both. I did that with the
Ram. took 3 weeks but he made it. I really didn't think he was going to
live he was old. He lived another year and a half!

I would not mix anything with PP though. If you are still thinking of
trying that. I used Ingrid's sugestion on th estock solution and it
worked well for me.

The fish with the fungus (cotton fluff) on his snout seems to have suffered
a relapse. The first time I applied the Pimafix it really knocked it back.
But know it seems to be returning. I gave him another dose today, so we'll
see what happens. I might try the Melafix and Pimafix together if he does
not completely heal.

If I decide to try another treatment, I'll run carbon for a few days first.

I looked at the Jungle fungus treatment today, ingredients were Salt,
Potassium Chromate and Furlan? Sounds a lot like Salt and PP.



I know there is a med with PP in it by Kordon I think. It has 3.8
percent which is the safe dosing. I only know about PP for disinfectant
though. I never have had any other uses for it.

Did you only use Pimafix once?
