Advice on Treatments Please

Hi,
I have be looking at API's Stress Coat, Stress Zyme, Melafix and Pimafix. Does anyone use them and are they ok or are any of the other brands better, if so which one's.
Many thanks
Neil

They are for different things. Stress Coat removed chlorine from your tap water and is a good product. Stress Zyme is supposed to replace biological bacteria that your tank needs. Melafix and Primafix are all natural products that are supposed to help with minor problems such as fin rot and small wounds on fish.

...yup...what Hobbs said...

Pimafix is for fungus...

they are all very good stuff. i prefer them over other brands.
but i do not recommed using stree zyme, in my opion it is a waste of good money, and i have used it many atime.
but there is a lot of other stuff that would be just as good.

oh yeah, you might want to have some AMMO LOCK on hand. it is very good to. it detorifier ammonia. but there is others brands you can get.

I use stress coat with every wc.....
Most of my products are made by api...from the stess coat to the test kit.... great products!

Which product you use will be determined by what you seek to accomplish. I add Stress Coat when I add new fish or if I have an injury. I don't use Stress Zyme, don't believe in it. Melafix and Pimafix are a great 1-2 combo for a variety of illnesses.
