I do not agree that you NEED parasite control, I'm glad you guys touched on that. I don't treat any of my fish with it but I also haven't had any bad breakouts from parasites. Keep these interviews coming I am loving them lots of info that I never knew or thought of.

Solid information. Glad you did this follow up. She knows her stuff.

I did post that horrid tub video. I see lots of issues to improve on, but it's all a learning process now. For instance; I need to speak up, maybe mention the name of the channel, ask ppl to like and sub. And much more...

Very good info!  I use a tablespoon of salt per 10 gallons in guppy tanks because I generally have more fish in each tank than I should and salt prolongs stability.  Do a video on her ex roomie, the headless, armless guy behind you!

Wow she is wicked smart great info mike love it

[LeslieF]

Thank you both for the informative video. I'll have to save this one to my playlists for future reference. Right now I've got a few Bettas coming in the mail from Taiwan and I have been on the fence about treatment. Now I feel more prepared. ☺️

I never medicate my fish and I don't quarantine either. if my fish don't look as energetic or are showing signs of not being 100% I do extra water changes and add some salt - that's it. I have never had a fish with ich or worms.. Perhaps it is Australia's strict quarantine that's responsible.. for example goldfish spend a mandatory 3 weeks in Australian quarantine before they are released to the fish stores. Under our quarantine laws there are also a limited amount of medications that can be used on those fish while in quarantine - so if a fish is sick it will recover, die or be destroyed. Only healthy, strong fish make it out of quarantine.

Great information, always wondered about Furan- 2, now I know. I used to always use aquarium salt, but stopped when started trying to grow plants- Thanks 💕👍

Thanks...there has been a lot of discussion in my fishy circle about this topic.

Hi Mike great video! I love your Chanel! I do the same trio when getting new fish! So my question is, the last couple weeks I have had a couple fish with stringy poop, I moved them into my 10 gallon hospital tank and treated, with general cure, should I treat the community tank to just be safe and prevent it from happening to others? And how often should I treat the main tank as a preventative with General Cure?

[PoppaRyno]

I want to ask her more abt levamisole! Lol

[AquariumCop]

FInally someone named furan2~ yes the redworms... I call the med galamod aka calamari worms ! 😙

[FridayFishFacts]

Do you only add general cure when you add new fish?

[Gsiravo]

Where did you get your bulk general cure? Not on amazon.

[dennisruedel]

Hi Michael, do you feel that General Cure is as effective by adding to the water column compared to mixing it with food or dosing it with a pipette directly in the gut of the fish?
