Melafix

Melafix (a proprietary name) is an aquarium antibiotic made from cajeput oil.[1]

It is a wide-range antibiotic product, and thus is effective for a wide variety of mild gram positive bacterial infections, such as fin rot. However, it is generally ineffective against aquatic parasites and is typically used for treating the wounds caused by them in order to prevent secondary infection by other microorganisms.[2]
