I know that I need maroxy, but which other medications are a must have before I begin breeding?
What medications should I buy before breeding?

I like to have:
Methylene Blue (antifungal, antiparasitic)
Kanaplex
As general medications for breeding. Both are safe for even tiny fry.
Prazipro is good for suspected internal parasites. Avoid it on fry younger than a month.
For infections in adults and juveniles, Furan-2 for bacterial, with Kanaplex as your back-up, and Coppersafe for velvet or ich. But NEVER overdose Coppersafe. You WILL kill your fish. I actually under-dose slightly.
Prime or AmQuel+ are good for ammonia spikes. Many breeders recommend dosing the tank every 24-48 hours, just in case.

The only medication I've had to use for my fry so far is PraziPro for gill flukes. Oh and (uniodized) salt, but that's not really medicine. Why do you need maroxy?

I've read how awesome this stuff is for fish eggs. Great recommendation! I so wish this forum had a Like button.
