Aquarium Advice Freak
Hey everyone,
I don't have a sick fish at the moment, I'm just trying to assemble some possible medications to keep on hand BEFORE any fish succumb to illness.
Currently, I only have gold cloud minnows in my 28 gallon tank, but I intend on having a single honey gourami, 5 corydoras, 5 kuhli loaches and 6 or so amano shrimp. I know that by having scaleless fish and invertebrates makes things a little more challenging when medicating.
I also have a few live plants in there as well, wisteria and 2 varieties of crypt that I can't remember right now.
As of yet, I only have Seachem Paraguard (which says it has malachite green in it, but it's blue?) and generic aquarium salt. Thanks to the wonders of Amazon and Ebay, I'm planning on getting Kordon Ich Attack--it claims to be reef and invertebrate safe--and PraziPro.
Anything else I should look into just to have on hand? I know that with scaleless fish/invertebrates it's necessary to 1/4 or 1/2 the dose, but I don't wanna give my future fish anything that'll kill them :c
