Medifin is one of the better all round remedies that I've found. Just dosed my pond in readiness for winter and will dose again in a months time |

If Medifin has little effect your fish may be in the advance stages of whatever diseases they have.
In which case you may need to consider more specific treatments but as a start, medifin is good |

Jaycee I use MELAFIX it's a natural/herbal treatment that won't upset the balance of your filter.
It's fantastic stuff & you can see the improvement within days.
Treats all bacterial infections.

I have treated my pond with Medizin P, I lost 1 of my Carp overnight but the others seem to be OK though they still look out of condition, how long will it take to see if it is working |
