Best Meds for Home Fish Pharmacy

Hey Disease and Medications Experts out there!

I want to create a little ¡°fish pharmacy¡± at home for my tank - with working medicines for all kinds of problems - bacterial and fungal infections, external and internal parasites etc. Can you sum up yours and other people¡¯s experience with medications and list the names of your first choice of medications that I shall stock up on? I had a clown die on me because of a secondary bacterial infection (after what I believe was Ich) and I don't want for this to ever happen again! I am setting up a QT tank because I know now I should never be without one - and I need to get out an order to Drs. FosterSmith asap.
If you provide me a list of the most necessary basics that I should have at any time in my ¡°pharmacy¡±, this will be a highly valuable favor!!

Eternal gratitude, Depth

Hi Steve,

Can I find beta glucan available at a health food store? Does this come in a powder or tablet form? What would you recommend? Thanks.
