Donald,
I was just thinking about him yesterday.

Since most of the "medicines" are coloured with dye, its obvious that there
are some dyes that don't upset the fish.

I guess this is a very bad idea, but I thought I might as well ask here.
I
have NOT done it, and probably never will. Anybody ever try to tint the
water blue-green a bit?

Actually, some of the medicines ARE the dyes. Heavy metals (and I don't
mean Van Halen...) in the dyes can be used to treat fish, but are not
legal for treating fish for human consumption.

Point of interest...
There actually was a heavy metal "cure" for syphilis for decades before
antibotics came on the scene.
