Neem oil. An be toxic to fish if used in sufficient quantities. There are safer, more effective "natural" remedies. Melafix (contains melaleuca oil) or Pimafix (contains Bay Rum oil) are two products that can be used to treat infection in fish. Indian almond tree leaves can be used to reduce the pH of water. Plain aquarium salt can be used as a general tonic to reduce stress, improve gill function, treat minor infection and aid in recovery but some fish, especially scaleless species, are not salt tolerant, so care must be taken. The best way to keep fish healthy and to treat infection is to maintain pristine water quality via filtration and regular maintenance. Do not overfeed, limit light exposure and monitor temps and chemistry closely.
