FAQs About API

Can API fish products be used together?

Yes, different solutions from API can be used simultaneously in an appropriate manner. Just be sure to follow the directions exactly how they are written on the side of the container or package. And since they make treatments and solutions for both fresh and saltwater environments, you’ll want to be sure to use the appropriate ones for your pets.

Can I add API Quick Start with fish in my tank?

It is recommended that you add fish only after dosing your habitat water with Quick Start. While this additive can begin your aquarium cycle, ammonia and nitrate levels may fluctuate as your water adjusts. This game-changing treatment can limit toxic ammonia and nitrates after it starts working and allows the instant addition of your fish into a new aquarium shortly after. It is recommended that pet parents use an API Products water test strip to check their water quality before reintroducing or adding fish.

This aquarium water care solution contains live, nitrifying bacteria that kickstart the aquarium cycle immediately. It can be used in both fresh and saltwater aquariums and can be used when changing the filter. For more great information on how to maintain your freshwater aquarium water after adding Quick Start from API Fish Care, take a look at our guide, Eight Tips to Keep Your Freshwater Fish Happy and Healthy.

Do I feed my fish during API General Cure?

Yes, you can feed your fish while giving them API General Cure. API Fish Care even recommends turning your regular fish food into medicated fish food by soaking it in General Cure for 15 minutes before feeding to your pets. This can ensure that the remedy is introduced into your pets’ systems and water to maximize parasite elimination. If you still have questions about the treatment of your fish, be sure to consult your veterinarian about the best course of action.

Will API General Cure fish remedy disrupt the biological filter in my aquarium?

No, this solution from API will not hurt, damage or disrupt the biological filter in your aquarium. To get great results while using this type of treatment, take out the activated carbon or filter cartridges and continue the aeration process. These solutions are specifically designed to remove elements from your aquarium water—even the fish remedy. Don’t forget to completely remove the filter while dosing with API General Cure for optimal results.
