Adding chemicals to a fishes water is like adding chemicals to your air. No one likes chemical muck in their air and fish don't like chemical muck in their water either. The ONLY chemical I believe should be used is the one that is added to neutralise Chloramine in tap water. If the water supplier does not add Chloramine then there should be no need to add chemicals. If a fish is seriously ill and I KNOW what to add to fix the illness I will do so but the best medicine for most fish problems is a few large water changes with good clean water.
