Do you keep aquarium fishes at home

Melafix (sp) Is a good natural herb based product which reduces the chances of fish getting ill by considerable margins, it also helps support chemical medecines. A note of advice, don't pump your water full of anti-biotics unless absolutely nessecary, the bacteria colonies can often be dramatically affected. It may also lead to the antibiotics being released into the natural water supplies. Thus leading to a strain of anti-biotic immune bacteria which is no fun for anyone!

As long as you do not overfeed or overcrowd your tank and have fish that are compatible and also do regular partial water changes and feed a variety of good foods the fish should not get stressed and develop diseases. Also if you do buy new fish make sure to put them in a quarantine tank so that if they do have a disease they will not bring it into the whole tank but be easier to cure it in the quarantine tank. The quarantine tank does not have to be large a ten gallon tank for small fish plus a mature filter that you let run on a cycled tank (and then switch to the quarantine tank when you get new fish).Or as they say an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

i donot have an acquarium right now as my kids were very young and i thought keeping an aquarium would be unhealthy.i donot think any specific antibiotics are needed,just clean water and fresh air is neccessary,i suppose.

My mentor told me that the best antibiotic for aquarium is a clean water. Maintain your aquarium clean through change and make sure you are not introducing bacteria laden mediums (such as poorly processed or stale food, unclean water, untreated/not quarantined new fish) in the aquarium. With proper caring and cleaning, you won't be needing any antibiotic for your aquarium.

For me personally I don't use any antibiotic as long as you keep your filter clean and if they do end up getting sick use pimafix they are natural fish medication that cures huge range of diseases. for me my fish almost never gets sick unless I introduce new plants and it also seems that they get sick if I use cycle by nutrafin so I just keep away from that completely. They love the tank so much they won't stop breeding so I had to create another tank just to separate the female and the male. Change filter leave the bio filter alone cause that helps with ammonia and so does life plants and carbon rocks keep a few bottom feeders to keep the bottom of the tank clean or excess food that's pretty much all I did. hopefully this response help. http://www.shareapic.net/content.php?id=15394302&owner=SoulFeeders
