Malawi Medication

[Istanbul_Kop]

I was just wondering if any of you Mbuna keepers have any medications 'on tap' so to speak.

What do you have 'just in case'? Or do you make a quick trip down to the pet store when needed?

I'm starting a Mbuna tank very soon so was just wondering if I should get anything in and have it ready.

These are my options:

CUPRAZIN (Protozoacide/Fungicide) (Details (http://www.waterlife.co.uk/waterlife/cuprazin.htm)) For the treatment of Whitespot, Costia and other Fungal infections in seawater aquaria only. Do not use in aquaria containing invertebrates, macro algae, Sharks, Rays, or Harlequin Tuskfish.

MYXAZIN (bactericide) (Details (http://www.waterlife.co.uk/waterlife/myxazin.htm)) A treatment for Ulcers, Fin-Rot, Body Rot and other bacterial related diseases in all aquaria.

OCTOZIN (Flagellated Protozoa) (Details (http://www.waterlife.co.uk/waterlife/octozin.htm)) For the treatment of "Hole-in the-Head", Spironucleus, Dropsy, Malawi Bloat, Sleeping Sickness and Whitespot in all aquaria.

PARAGON (General Tonic) (Details (http://www.waterlife.co.uk/waterlife/paragon.htm)) For use in seawater, freshwater and coldwater aquaria. The product slowly releases oxygen in safe amounts destroying any pathogens and parasites present and beneficially raises the REDOX level in the systems, improves inhabitants health and the filtration efficiency.

PARAZIN (Parasiticide) (Details (http://www.waterlife.co.uk/waterlife/parazin.htm)) Fish lice (Argulus), anchor worm (Lernea), gill maggots (Ergasilus) are just some of the horrific parasites/predators, which can attack fish and are almost invisible to the naked eye. New Parazin destroys these and other insect and crustacean parasites/predators found in aquaria.

PROTOZIN (Protozoacide/Fungicide) (Details (http://www.waterlife.co.uk/waterlife/protozin.htm)) For the treatment of Whitespot, Fungus, Velvet and Costia in tropical freshwater and coldwater aquaria only. Do not use when mormyrids (i.e. Elephant Nose, Dolphin Fish), Sturgeon and Sterlets are present.

STERAZIN (parasiticide) (Details (http://www.waterlife.co.uk/waterlife/sterazin.htm)) For the treatment of Gill and Body Flukes. Do not use when crustaceans (i.e. Crabs, Shrimps), echinoderms (i.e. Sea Urchins, Starfish), s/w Sharks, Rays, Piranha, Sturgeon and Sterlets are present.

the only med. I have for used for my AC's was melafix-for fin rot/torn fins from bad water/fighting...I guess I've been lucky...

i wouldnt worry to much on the meds aye, as long as you keep up on water changes and quarantine new fish you should be ok as for just having something on hand i would have salt and maybe some stress coat with the aloa..

:iagree:
I have kept Africans for years never really had any meds on stock...I never really had any get sick maybe just Ich from new fish that I did not quarantine, but even then I would use a salt bath works great...
