Pegasus Posted May 19, 2004 Report Share Posted May 19, 2004 Found this online at one of the forums. Seems to work according to the posts I've also used "Alternafix" on tanks with bristlenose cats with no ill effects. I make it up myself (According to a slightly modified Lloyd Iamguiness recipe). To make Alternafix add 1ml shaken tea tree oil (buy from a chemist/woolies) to 100ml of water Add 5ml of your Alternafix stock solution to every 40 litres of tank water. Alternafix (like Melafix) is an antifungal/antibacterial medication and can be used on wounded fish etc to speed healing ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interfecus Posted May 20, 2004 Report Share Posted May 20, 2004 The oil and water shouldn't mix. A drop or two of normal dishwashing detergent can fix this. Dark mentioned that he's used this method quite a lot before with great success. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
