meds to keep on hand for bichirs

[IISBETURTLE]

hey everyone, first time posting here.
for all of you poly lovers what are some of the main meds to keep on hand that are poly safe?
and since I haven't done any rounds of meds (de-wormers etc.) yet for the 3 that I currently own, should I?

I have 2 sens about 3-4'' inch, that have been with me for about 1-2 months (Petsmart)
and a del 7 1/2'' that I've had for 3 months. (Petco)

the only meds available instore near me are API general cure and e.m. erythromycin. if for any unforeseen events I may need more specific medication for fungal, bacterial, parasites, etc. id rather have it on hand than try to find it in a hurry.

Since they are more likely captive bred wouldn’t worry about dewormers. Qt them for a bit. Maybe a a dose of kanamycin triple sulfa or maracyn2 is all potentially needed.

Erythromycin will work for fin rot/mild skin infections but not as broad of a coverage. Dosages per the instructions on the box.
