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 and development resulted in
the formulation of PimaFix.
University studies and laboratory tests showed that PimaFix is an
effective antifungal AND antibacterial remedy for both freshwater and
marine fish. This evidence led to the granting of a United States Patent.
International patents are pending.
Why aquarium 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 and
bacterial pathogens seize the opportunity to infect the fish.
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.
Bacterial infections are also common, further weakening the fish and
allowing the fungal infection to spread more rapidly. Left untreated, fish
may die from disease and stress. Treatment should be administered as soon
as possible to ensure quick recovery.
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.
PimaFix does not have this disadvantage, providing better viewing of fish
during treatment. Treating with PimaFix will not harm the biological
filter in freshwater or saltwater aquariums or ponds. PimaFix has no
effect on pH. PimaFix is harmless to aquatic plants.
