Not persay. It has it's uses, but should not be used constantly or relied upon in the case of serious health issues..

Generally it is used to treat fungal infections and it can be used to reduce the stress and damage caused by NH3 and NO2 poisoning.

It can be used to treat fish topically much like Melafix, but it is pretty light weight in this regard. My opinion is that it is akin to a cup of tea with lemon and honey... Probably more for relief than actual cure.

It is also used to prevent fungal infection of fish eggs which can be prone to such issues.

With good fish husbandry, it is not important as such.
