    Same goes for bettafix. I buy the 64 oz bottle of pond melafix to refill my regular sized bottles of both my melafix and bettafix. But the concentration of the melaleuca oil in bettafix is extremely low! So I usually make that from my regular melafix bottle after it’s been diluted from the pond melafix. Good info!

      Exactly! Just get a good brand medicine type of tea tree and it lasts forever. Instead of 1 or 3% why not just get 100% and dose accordingly..

    Absolutely right sir... I used the pond kind and regular kind before I figured out what you just spoke of. My koi started looking funny and a few had died already before I could really diagnose what it was. Wife purchased a fish and dropped it in main tank and I’m guessing it was sick and infested my tank. I used the pond as well cause it just seemed like a stronger dose than the one recommended for tank. Thanks for the great video

    • @coreymelanson6729
      @coreymelanson6729 2 года назад +4

      There 2 different products, one for aquariums & one for ponds. The pond version is a 5% active ingredient solution versus 1% solution on the aquarium version. The pond version, designed for larger fish & larger water volumes, suggests you add 5mil per each 150-gallons of water. So, if you have A 300-gallon pond you add 10ml of the pond version. I believe the aquarium version suggests 5ml of product for every 10-gallons of aquarium water being treated (tank size). This video may seem like sound logical advice on its face with all things being equal but of course they're not equal. He does not take into account the dilution rate versus water volume of the medication or the fish size variations between ponds & aquariums. He doesn't even mention them. There may good reason for the difference in active ingredient percentage between the 2 products. Using the wrong one may not be a good idea. Perhaps that a question the manufacturer could answer for us. I'd would use the proper meds at the suggested rates until the manufacturer states it is safe to do otherwise.

    • @lukesgoldies

      The ONLY difference is the concentration, so you simply dose less volume than the aquarium one as recommended on the bottle. The size of the fish is irrelevant, look at the concentration and dosing for each bottle, it’s equivalent.
