melafix and pimafix.
If I need others I will buy at the time, but most have limited shelf life so I dont keep in stock. I think the only other one I have used is some whitespot cure which was a couple of years ago.

Pima and mela were first on my list as well, until I alphabetized it LOL.

I realized as I was making the list that Pima and Mela are my primary meds, followed by Prazipro and Parasite Clear. Several groups of my WC plecs arrived with white stringy poo, so I used Prazipro or Parasite Clear. Flub and Levamisole have just recently been purchased (found them listed in a killiefish magazine) and not used yet.
