What do people use on a weekly basis for disease preventatives ?

Betta fish: Other than water weekly water changes and vacuuming . Does anyone use anything else for disease preventatives on a weekly basis.? That will not harm plants? Is Microbe-Lift something that should be use weekly?

Water changes and a varied, healthy diet. Must be doing something right as my bettas generally last well over 2.5 years with no illness other than the very rare occasion of finrot.

I agree with Betta'sAnonymous clean water and good diet is all you need. That being said, I know some people do like to use cattapa leaves.

Ditto to BA. Larger water changes and a varied diet. I don't use dechlor with slime coat stuff either. I rarely have fish die.

Honestly if I'm being completely truthful, I don't even do that weekly lol. Much less often over here with no ill effects.
