Meds kept on hand

[Cinnebuns]

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.

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

[Minanora]

I have:

Kanaplex*
Jungle fungus fizz tabs*
Paracleanse*
Maracyn
Expel P*
CyroPro
ParaziPro
IchX*
Erythromycin flake food
Oxytetracycline flake food
Nitrofurazone flake food
Aquarium Salt*
Methylene Blue
No Planaria
 

However over the last year I was actively breeding and selling lots of fish.

I use the meds with the "*" most and will always keep these items on hand.

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.

I feel really good about the fact that I consider the exact same lineup of meds the essentials. 🤣

You're a good teacher! 😊

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. 

[AllFishNoBrakes]

I keep:

The trio, Fenbendazole (might be incorrect spelling, but I’ve used it on Hydra twice), and salt. Salt is magical 

[lefty o]

ich-x, and salt.

[Expectorating_Aubergine]

Aquarium salt. I camouflage it as kosher salt. Well, the grocery store I buy it from does, anyways. 

[Andy's Fish Den]

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.

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
