ok , i have been using melafix in my 20 ltr tank to treat one of my pond fish tht had pimple like spots on its head area. the spots have almost dissapeared and are now like a translucent fuz (as opposed to pimple like white heads) i used 2.5 ml per day 4 2 weeks and have reduced to every second day as fish seemed to be almost better in conjunction with this i am using aquarium salts and changing a third of the h2o everytime i medicate. i now have a new prob the second fish i removed from the pond (as it had one small spot) now has two tears in its tail. it was only one but now has a second the complete tail is still there tho and has not rotted (yet)so do i cont with melafix and salts, just salts, or try something else? will the tail heal or is it the start of sumthing? OH and i should add that the tank has a glass lid with a small corner missing (for the elec cable of the filter) where a cat(we have 3) 'could potentialy put its paw in...tho i dont know if this is what has caused the tears????? oh AND is the melafix itself toxic? as the tank is in my daughters room! or is the formaldehyde(sp) and addition tht others add and its not in melafix itsself? (as interestinly there is no list of ingerdients on the bottle.
thanks in advance
