Fish First Aid Kit

It's well worth having a few meds on hand in case the worst should happen. 

Firstly grab a large plastic box that can hold water. This is now your treatment and quarentine tank. Next you need a small filter you cn leave running in your main tank, and a heater. Perfect you now have a quarentine set up. 

 Meds 

Methylene Blue 

 A bit of an all rounder, meth blue is also used as a human meidcation treating a wide range of things. For fish it has a few great properties. Firstly it's a good anti bacterial and anti fungal, but be aware it will also harm your filter bacteria so never add it to your main tank. It will also stain Saprolegnia blue, letting you know that the white stuff on your fish in in fact sap. Internally it can bind certian toxins, nitrite being a crucial one, and help them be removed by the fishes waste systems.
