API General Cure

[cptcaveman]

Would it be smart to just add General Cure to a tank for a preventive measure/in case they have something that I don't notice?

I wouldn't use it as a real regular preventive, but something like once a month or bi-monthly. People might even argue this, as people say regular water changes are preventive and medication is a last resort. I'm just considering the ingredients. If your looking for something to do say every water change, I'd look into StressGuard. It doesn't contain meds.

While not best used with StressGuard, but as a follow up to it and an excellent preventative would be the Medicated Wonder Shell.

This has a more broad range than General Cure (which is an excellent but much more specific product)
As well the Medicated Wonder Shell addresses mineral Cations which are also important for fish health.
