Antibiotics

[ronaldrwl]

I was looking for a thread on antibiotics. Is there a discussion on this topic? What ones should you keep? How long are they good for?
I think I have water, food and ammo figured out.

Since these kinds of things aren't available Over the Counter, how does one procure them legally, just to keep on hand for preparations-sake?

Buy animal and fish antibotics they are pretty much the same. I think there is a thread on this

Yup. Fish-Mox, etc.

I used to own a Aquarium store and it was the general opinion that fish meds were human meds that had expired.

I spoke to the manufacturer rep on fish amox.. yep, same quality, same dosage even, just NOT legal for human.

I asked for fish antibiotics at Petsmart and they didn't know what I meant. They just wanted to know what my fish had.
