No, it's not safe for all fish. It's definitely not safe for labyrinth fish, and I don't recommend using it on any scaleless fish. I actually don't recommend it at all, I think it's a garbage product.

Your cloudy eye problem is likely a water quality issue, I would start doing more frequent water changes and just try to keep it as clean as possible, maybe with a pinch of salt.

If you really want to use melafix, I'd recommend a bath daily. Just fill an appropriate sized plastic bag with water, add a decent dose of melafix, and put the fish in for a few minutes, then return to the tank. But I'd recommend a salt or methylene blue bath before melafix.

thanks for the advice though the eye problem was caused by a fight between sevs , water is perfect . I knew better than it being safe for all fish so i half dosed it

No Melafix.

Well according to the company that makes it they say its safe for all fresh and marine fish. I've used it several times and it's always worked for me.

I swear by melfix.. the problem is the doseing on the bottle is wrong for practical application.. and you did right by useing a 1/2 dose. unfortunately the product works.. very good. almost too good. just like food tubs tell you to feed your fish 3 times a day... less is more with this product. I've used this product to treat my spiney eels at home, loaches at work, and pufferfish both fresh and SW.

But I agree w/ maintaining water quality, imo thats the best thing you can do to heal the issue.
