What meds do you keep on hand?
 

I have quite a few meds for Fronts and Discus, but I'm thinkin they could be quite different. Also salt is used first with perhaps kicking up the temp ~ before other meds are used ~

I sat up my tank yesterday for my community residence ~ and today I am getting my fish! Tank has been up for years with Fronts and Dolphin and Leleupi.

Traded them in yesterday for $198 ~ I cried. And cried. :-(

Cool! Thank so much! I have all that, but what is Clove Oil and what is it used for?

Clove oil is used to put a fish to sleep if you have to euthanize one :-(

Oh. Wow. Interesting. Where would you get that, the grocery store?

I had to buy mine from the Health Food store.

A very experienced fish keeper told me, when I asked the same question as you, you don't stock it until you need it, due to expiration dates. I'm looking at my packets of Furan-2. I only had to use 1/2 the box the last time I had to use this particular medication. The packets expire 7/2011, which is right around the corner. Knock wood I won't have to use it and will be able to pitch them out, and when I do that will feel like a waste of money.
Chances are you already have on hand the meds Lupes is recommending since you were keeping Discus. You probably also have alot of Metronidazole left over, which I know you're not going to need, lol.
Until I kept Discus my medicine shelf was empty as could be.
Keeping my shelf empty was easy because if I needed the meds they were easily obtainable in a day. If I lived in "the sticks" or on an island I'd probably stock pile.

Good to know!


This is true! My community tank won't need it? Kym, I have learned so much from you in the short time I have been here and I wanted to say I so appreciate it more than you know, woman.

This forum is very lucky to have you!

You are another one. So awesome on this site!! I am glad I found it.;-)
