There are three antibiotics that are must haves for me... Baytril, metronidazole and amoxicillin. Having those three enables me to treat just about any issues that might come up.

Quote: All three are prescription only, but they are easy to get without a prescription. I'm not suggesting that you go out and buy each one, but do some research on each one and see if they are something you might want to have "just in case".

Here are some of my favorites:

Amoxicillin - . It's sold for fish in 250mg and 500mg capsules.
