MEDS 4 FISH No Prescription Needed

The Issue

MEDS 4 FISH

Make Medications Available for Aquarium use Without having to go to a veterinarian. Fish are at greater risk of dying when being transported not to mention that there are rarely any veterinarians that have the experience when dealing with fish. We as aquarium hobbyists have to sometimes take things into our own hands and we are efficient enough on diagnosing our fish. Most diseases and illnesses are pretty noticeable and can be given an appropriate diagnosis. There are people who've been apart of the hobby for 30+ years and have the experience to Treat their tanks. But now by the time we find a veterinary clinic and get the fish there, the fish could already be dead and then there goes precious money and time wasted when it would be easier to self diagnose our fish. With all the people with 30+ years, it's not like their not passing on their knowledge because they are. I personally have learned so much from the people who've had many years of experience and I've absorbed it as I want to be the best and to be able to treat my tank when I have problems arrise from infections and other untimely events that can happen within the aquarium hobby. We as the aquarium hobbyists that enjoy the company of fish, would like to be able to treat our tanks with the appropriate medications that are needed to treat all freshwater and salt water aquariums.
