Marine First Aid Kit

[Uriel]

Hi Since i can't seem to find any lfs that sells wormer suitable for Marine Fish I will probably have to go online and order something. This got me thinking all the research i've done on parasites and disease in marine fish, suggests that things can go very wrong very quickly. Should I get some medications to have on hand incase things go wrong. Especially as the majority of fish added to my aquarium will go in during the next 1-11 months. Do you guys keep any medication on hand that you would reccomend. Or any opinions or suggestions about this ?

I always keep formalin (bacterial/fungal), an antibiotic (in this case nitrofurazin green), prazipro (for internal parasites/flukes), paracide-x (which is a dewormer). Always good to have things on hand!

Yeah you can have pretty severe reactions to things like zoas. So it's a good thing to keep around. I shouldn't really take the mic but i wasn't sure if he was joking or was just skimming the comments

Nope!

I was being serious!

I've ordered both a Flubendazole and praziquantel based anti-parasite/wormer any idea which i'm best using. Or should i do one first and then the other one afterwards.

Also found quite an interesting article about Marine medicine cabinet. It's a link to another forum so if this is against the rules apologies.
