Product overview
API Pimafix treats fungal infections in aquarium fish. Cotton wool disease and similar infections can weaken fish quickly, often showing as fuzzy white or grey growths on the mouth, body, and fins.
This botanical liquid is made from West Indian bay tree extract (Pimenta racemosa). It treats fungal tissue and can also help with secondary bacterial infections, without disrupting the tank’s biological filter.
Suitable for fresh and saltwater usage.
