Cinnebuns Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 I was just thinking of the meds I have on hand and if it's a sufficient mix or if I need others. Right now I have general cure, paracleanse and maracyn oxy. I feel like that's not enough but I'm also undecided how much I really should keep. What do you keep on hand? @Colu you would be a good one for this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schuyler Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 That's crazy... I was just thinking "Besides the quarantine trio, what meds should you take have on hand?" Definitely following to see what period have to say 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flumpweesel Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 I have a Protozin for white spot and fungus issues and Myxazin for bacteria. On hand to cover my bases of I spot an issue if I then need to hunt out something specific they will generally buy me time. Meds tend to have a short shelf life so I buy as I need. We are limited to what we can buy here in the UK. So no med trio here. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ccc24 Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 I keep: Aquarium salt, Maracyn, Maracyn 2, kanaplex, paracleanse, expel-p & Ich X in my cabinet. Everytime I’ve let something run out, that’s when I need it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllFishNoBrakes Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 I keep: The trio, Fenbendazole (might be incorrect spelling, but I’ve used it on Hydra twice), and salt. Salt is magical Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expectorating_Aubergine Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 Aquarium salt. I camouflage it as kosher salt. Well, the grocery store I buy it from does, anyways. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy's Fish Den Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 The med trio, salt and expel-P are what I have, normally don't have the Expel-P but I had a bunch of planaria in one tank that I wanted to get rid of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, the grocery store I buy it from does, anyways. Oh dang! I just realized I have a big box of pickling salt that I could use to pickle fish! Actually, does anyone know what is the cheapest form of salt? That is safe to use in an aquarium Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
