Most of what I keep on hand.

 

[MrTuskfish]

Well stocked, but no "Super Reef-Safe, Miracle, No-Work Involved, All-Parasite Cure"?

 

[alprazo]

Dimilin
Metronidazole
Trimethoprim sulfa
Baytril injectable
Praziquantil
Chloroquine
Levamisole
Copper
MS-222
Formalin
Methylene blue
Quinine
Doxycycline
Nitrofurazone
Dylox

This covers the things that the super reef-safe, all parasite cure does not.

 

[MrTuskfish]

I guess the search for the elusive "Super Reef-Safe, Miracle, No-Work Involved, All-Parasite Cure" will go on.

 

[Kitsune_Gem]

Just wondering, what do you use Baytril for? Ive only ever used it on Small animals. Ive never heard of using it in an aquarium

 

[alprazo]

Baytril - Intramuscular injection. Prophylactic use with capture or for skin ulcers that can develop on elasmobranches. It provides good coverage for vibrio.

 

[BigAirHarper]

Thanks for the list. I'm just stocking up.

 

[houser]

Not the full list, but I've got half of em! Nice to see the literature in there as well.

Great answer! ROTFLMAO

I'd be so bold as to suggest adding a macrolide antibiotic like erythromycin to shotgun at dropsy or popeye if they happen. I've been successful in turning both diseases around exclusively with erythromycin (where doxy, tmp sulfa, and kanamycin didn't work)

Also do you have an aminoglycoside? Kanamycin/gentamycin/amikacin are my favorites and my go to drugs when i have an external bacterial infection.

 

[alprazo]

Good points. I typically go first to the fluoroquinolone, cipro for bath or Baytril IM if I worry about a serious infection. Good gram pos and neg coverage including vibrio.
