You should never put chemicals into your tank if they are unneeded... The best thing is to have a QT (quarentine tank) and just let the fish stay segregated in that tank for atleast 3-4 weeks. Most diseases will show up, if they are infected, in that time frame. After this QT period, you should be fine to put the fish into the main tank.

Thanks mate, that what i thought. because the more you use chemicals the lest it works when they need it and its also no good for your filter, i just think that they got to stop telling people to buy chemicals for everythink
