	melafix and fry
Theresa_M Moderator Queen of Zoom Posts: 3649 Kudos: 4280 Votes: 790 Registered: 04-Jan-2004	My 75g has four day old blue acara/GT fry. Some of the other tankmates have nipped fins due to protective dad. Is it safe to treat the tank with Melafix, should I use something else, or just wait? Thanks ~~~~~~~~~~~~ There is water at the bottom of the ocean

Smarty Thanks for the replies. None of the fish look too bad but I may go with a half dosage just to make sure. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ There is water at the bottom of the ocean

But.. I left my charcoal pack in since it was pretty old, the melafix still did it's job nicely. Hope your fry get better The Amazon Nut...
