Many of today’s current
medications have become less effective due to resistant strains of
pathogens. In response to this problem, Aquarium Pharmaceuticals
investigated hundreds of botanical extracts for use against fish
diseases. Many years of research & development resulted in the
formulation of PimaFix.
University studies and laboratory tests showed that PimaFix is an
effective antifungal & antibacterial remedy for both freshwater & marine
fish. This evidence led to the granting of a United States Patent.
International patents are pending.
Why fish succumb
to fungal and bacterial infections
Disease-causing organisms are present in all aquarium and pond
environments. Any time a physical abrasion damages fish tissue, fungal
Shipping, netting and poor water quality disrupt a fish’s immune system,
lowering any resistance to infection. Skin and fin abrasions are an
unavoidable part of fish handling. Therefore the potential for infection
exists when new fish arrive to the hatchery, fish wholesaler, retailer,
home aquarium or pond.
Fungal infections may attack fish that have been damaged by rough
handling, shipping, exposure to ammonia or nitrite, improper netting and
malnutrition. Fungal pathogens use digestive enzymes to feed on fish
tissue. These enzymes damage adjacent healthy tissue, allowing the
disease to spread. Fungal infections are usually seen as white cottony
patches on fish’s body and fins. Stressed or wounded fish are the most
susceptible to fungal outbreaks.
Why select PimaFix
PimaFix is a natural botanical remedy made from Pimenta racemosa (West Indian Bay) oil, providing unique active compounds, which
harmoniously work together to attack fish diseases. The active compounds
found in Pimenta racemosa not only provide many different modes
of action, but also eliminate the possibility of the development of
resistant strains of disease-causing organisms. Until now, most
antifungal medications resulted in unsightly water discoloration
throughout the course of therapy. Adult female fish lice lay strips of eggs encased in gelatinous capsules
on hard surfaces in the pond. The eggs hatch in three weeks at 86°F. The
juvenile parasites feed on the fish, undergoing several molts as they
mature. As the parasites grow they will become visible on the fish.
Mature fish lice mate & begin the cycle again.PimaFix does not have this disadvantage, providing better viewing of
fish during treatment. Treating with PimaFix will not harm the
biological filter in freshwater ponds. PimaFix has no effect on pH.
PimaFix is harmless to aquatic plants. In extreme cases of especially stubborn infections, PimaFix has been
designed to work synergistically with MelaFix. Using PimaFix and MelaFix
together provides the added benefit of quick tissue regeneration and
wound healing.
PimaFix Directions for Use
- Shake well before each use.
- For best results remove activated carbon during treatment.
- As a disease treatment: Add 1 tsp for every 10 gallons (40L) of water.
- Repeat dose daily for 7 days. Treatment may be continued, if
necessary.
