Should I feed medicated fish flakes to new fish I just bought from the fish store, even though it might not be sick at all? You know, as a preventative, since I don't know for sure that it's sick? Is that ok? Will it not stress the fish more? Or cause a possible disease to mutate and become immune to the medication?
If the above answer is yes, feed them medicated fish food as a preventative, then I have more questions. Since there are a few different kinds of medicated fish food, depending on the type of disease, should I feed the fish all the kinds (which is just like 3, at least for Angel Plus)? Or only 1 or 2 kinds, because the other kind(s) might not be as important, or the disease might not be as common, or to lower the stress of the fish that the med food might be causing?
And, are there any other brands of medicated fish food I can buy in a pet store or fish exclusive pet store? Angel Plus looks to be online only, and I'd prefer to buy it in store, but I haven't found any med foods at Petsmart. Or, are there any other online pet stores where I can buy other brands, or the Angel Plus brand from, hopefully for cheaper?
