Melafix

[LauraFrog]

To cut a (very) long story short, my guppy jumped out of a breeder last night. I treated the breeder with melafix. She's had her babies and I want to stick her back in her own tank - 6 gal, three guppies, two bumblebee gobies, lightly brackish. Can I treat this tank with melafix (ie am I right in thinking that melafix will not affect the cycle)? I don't have anywhere to isolate her, but her tail is fraying, she's lost a fair bit of it and I'm sure the melafix will help, IME it's very good for regenerating damaged fins.

no melafix or pimafix will not affect cycling etc

i assume the tank is cycled?

Yep, fully cycled. Thanks... I'll go put her back.

Is she maintaining her balance well as when guppys lose quite abit of there tails they can get exhausted trying to keep a float.
If its not bacterial finrot I wouldn't bother adding the melafix if the tank is brackish.
