FAQs About API
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.
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.
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.
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.

We recently adopted a 2 yr old rescue 7 days ago, within the first 24 hours we took him to the ER for a cough. 3 days later his culture came back and he has mycoplasma. We started him on antibiotics right away. My other dog is 5 years old and in generally good health. My concern is how likely is it that my older dog will get mycoplasma now? Our house is not very big and the two dogs have had interaction this week. Is this a 100% chance he'll get it or are there other factors why maybe he wont?
My dog is red around his mouth. It’s come up in the last 24 hours and he definitely hasn’t eaten anything red. Should I be worried?
I have two 4-week-old kittens who were orphaned around 1AM on Saturday. I've been trying to care for them, but they haven't taken to bottle or syringe, and show no interest in a wet food slurry. When I stimulate them, they'll urinate but not defecate. I can get them to a vet tomorrow, but I'm a bit panicked about them and wondered if there's any advice that might help in the meantime? They're very alert and don't seem lethargic at all, so I don't think they're sick, but I worry about them.
Foxy has been waking up in the middle of the night aprox 1AM and moving her bowels on the living room carpet I had just gotten her house broken however she has been having her stool on the carpet what can i do to stop this behavior?? Thank you very much for your
My 1 year old siberian cat's ears are very warm, as is his belly. His nose is also very wet. He doesn't drink much water and we are worried that dehydration might be the cause as that's what we read can happen. He is very healthy but I am worried of what this could be.
Symptoms, two legs swollen, testicles swollen, 30 lbs lighter than 1.5 yrs ago, constipation for weeks, fistulas as well.. X-ray, and 4 chemical/ blood tests done. Dr said colon cancer but wasn't sure 100% . He was positive about the mass though. Can a dog still eat and drink with cancer. Dr said with that type and location they could. I put him to sleep but now second guessing.
My cat has what feels like a rough spot on its back near its tail. It's hard to take a look at it though because she twitches and bites every time you touch her there. Should I be concerned?
My puppy ate a peppermint candy and pooped it out. She vomited once and had 3 bouts of diarrhea, but is eating, drinking, and playing. Should I be concerned?
My pet is a 1 1/2 year old shi tzu who constantly licks her vaginal area and pees on herself when she gets too excited. I've taken her to the vet for this, i realized this all happen after she got spayed but the doctors always told me the same that "she's fine". But today at 4am my pet woke me up crying and I woke up grabbed her and she was fine but I noticed it was wet right under her and she was also wet. So she peed on herself while sleeping but it didn't look or smell like her usual pee
Hi we just got Remi sat afternoon and for some reason she doesn't drink alot and she doesn't pee alot. Is that normal? We are also puppy sitting a 7 week old German shepherd pup and he potties and drinks alot. Comparing them to each other it's weird and worrying me. I have also noticed that she has a hernied embellacal lump on her belly also. She is eating normal and very very playful and full of energy. Her gums are normal color so she is hydrated. So should I be worried?
