Is Waterlife Myaxcin safe to use with API Melafix and Pimafix already in the tan

I have 4 shubunkins with blood streaked and some milky white patches on their tail fins and the worst affected one has very shredded fins and has had 2 bouts of blood streaks on its dorsal fin and often keeps it down and only flexes it when feeding. I've been using a combo of melafix and pimafix but can't shift these problems fully although some of the more severe blood streaks in the dorsal fin have gone. Would you recommend using myaxcin and could I combine it whilst using the melafix and pimafix or should I remove these through a water change first. I believe my fish are suffering from a bacterial infection please let me know your thoughts I would really appreciate it

Please see some pics I've uploaded so you can see the milky white patches on their tails, the blood streaks are not very clear in the pics but are present on their tails and there are some white spots as well so I'm wondering if I should try myaxcin over protizin as it deals with fungus and unlike protizin can be used with salt in the water


I've uploaded the original full size photos online which can be viewed here:





Water quality is tested weekly at my local store using their full test kit which measures all values and was scored at 94%


The tank is a Juwel Rio 240L with an Aqua One 850 external filter currently not using active carbon during treatment


There was a salt concentration of 0.08 which has been lowered since I changed another 70 litres although until the weekend I cannot get the levels tested again but I suspect it's approx 0.05 now

 

What does a 94% score mean? You need to ask for specific numbers for readings of ammonia, nitrites, and nitrates.

How often do you do water changes and how much do you change?

Red streaks could also be caused by septicemia:

 

Sorry haven't seen this reply but just to say that LFS is awful I stopped going there and got some Myxazin and Protizin used both a couple of times lost one and the other survived and is doing fine

Basically the LFS wasn't testing with high range PH so they didn't pick up on a PH higher than what the high range could read when I bought the API kit my water in the tube was bright pink and not even a colour on the chart

I removed a load of mopanI wood that I also got from the LFS and after some water changes the problems stopped, the wood had loads of dark slime on it that stained the skin on my hands, all my problems started when I added that and I boiled it and left it to soak for 24 hours and the LFS didn't even tell me to soak it at all

Really annoyed that the LFS let me down I wish I had found this forum sooner

 

I doubt it was the wood causing the issue, but I guess it could be. If your pH is really high, driftwood can help bring it down. What's the pH out of the tap?

 

Tap is 7.5

 

Tap is 7.5

That pH is totally fine. It's not high at all, and most fish can adapt to that without issues. I don't think your pH has anything to do with it unless it's changing in the tank.

 

Yeah it's changing to a peak increase of 8.39 according to my Seneye USB

I've got another post active in the PH section about how I've found articles on algae raising the PH and definitely my gravel was causing it so I removed it as my bucket test proved my tap 7.5 changed after adding the gravel to it




For anyone reading the in the future DO NOT mix both melafix and pimafix it made a real mess of both my shubunkins and did nothing to heal them their blood streaks got worse and I had to throw the bottle away and change out the water in the tank
