API Bettafix 1.7oz

API Bettafix 1.7oz is an all-natural antibacterial remedy for betta fish that show signs of illness such as wounds, ulcers, mouth fungus, fin and tail rot, slimy patches or cottony growths. Its active ingredient is Melaleuca, a type of tea tree oil, which supports the repair of fins and skin damaged by handling, netting or fighting. The small bottle is dosed in drops, which makes it practical for bowls and compact betta tanks.

Key features of the API Bettafix 1.7oz

• Made for betta fish
• Natural Melaleuca extract
• Supports fin and skin repair
• Dosed in drops
• For bowls and small tanks

Dosage

Use 9 drops for every pint (473 ml) of water, which is 18 drops per quart (946 ml). Treat daily for up to 7 days and then carry out a water change; the course may be repeated if needed.

Treatment notes

The 1.7oz (about 50ml) bottle suits bowls and small tanks, where the dose is counted in drops; larger aquariums use half a teaspoon per gallon. API states it is for tropical fish only. Keep the water clean and at a steady tropical temperature during treatment, and if symptoms persist after the course or your betta stops eating, seek advice from a vet with fish experience. Always follow the pack directions or your vet’s advice.

Good to know

Torn fins often come from rough netting or nippy tank mates, so deal with the cause as well as the symptoms, and follow the pack directions or your vet’s advice.
