Tea Tree Essential Oil

Diluted solutions of tea tree oil are often used as a remedy to treat bacterial and fungal infection in pet fish. Common brand names are Melafix and Bettafix- Melafix is a stronger dilution and Bettafix is a lighter dilution that makes it harder to overdose smaller (especially Betta) fish. It is most commonly used to promote fin and tissue regrowth but is also effective in treating other conditions such as fin rot or velvet. The remedy is used mostly on Betta fish but can also be used with other pet fish.Tea tree oil has been recognized as a potent antiseptic in Australia anecdotally for much longer than there has been scientific evidence.
