    melafix question!!

    let me start out by saying i am bad at math, and have no mathamatical common sense. i have a 5.5 gal tank. one of my fish has a boo boo so i got some melafix. it says to use 5 ml per 10 gallons. how much do i need to use? like... almost three ml? does it need to be exact? and will it hurt my snail?
