AAP has updated our in depth experience based article dealing with aquarium fish disease prevention.
www.americanaquariumproducts.com/Aquarium_Disease.html
Here is an excerpt from the Overview section:
"Now with 2021 USA bans on many antibiotics/antimicrobrials from the retail fish trade, following ALL points in this article are more important than ever (a few can be still found, but many now sold in bulk, in particular Chinese bulk Nitrofurazone, are of very poor quality and at best are much less effective and at worse are dangerous to your aquarium).
My experience and experiments have shown that the need for many of these products are reduced as much as 80-90% by simply following the points outlined in this article and even when treatments are needed, the weaker products are more likely to work.
So please do not follow just a couple points, while ignoring other points in this article such as Redox or use of true UV Sterilization. As well, by cutting corners and ordering clearance product from Amazon such as Wonder Shells (instead of Authorized AAP Wonder Shells where stock is rotated out every month), you are likely getting product that is less fresh and thus losing important mineral Cations needed for improved Redox!"
