What Medication to keep on standby

[Playsander]

Back to the OP the reason I keep some meds is for if I am away for any length of time. I can then ask the fish sitters to dose without having to go to the aquarist. It's easy with WhatsApp etc to post vids and pics of the problem.

So you actually have access to fish sitters who can not only reliably diagnose illnesses and poor health conditions, but also administer the correct treatments?
Yowza!
(Given that many ailments can be treated with temperature/water change/aquarium salt etc.).

Valium & Vodka...always useful maybe not for the fish though

Title says it all really. What medication do you keep on standby just in case of an emergency?

Personally I keep a bottle of eSHa EXIT (spot and velvet) and a bottle of aSHa 2000 (fungus, finrot and bacterial infection) as these will treat most conditions.

Just out of interest how old are those meds, that looks like really old packaging.

Not very old. Less than a year. Date on box reads 11 2025.
