Do you add vitamins to your tank?

Hey to all hobbyists

Do any of you add multi vitamins into the water for your fishes?

I asked this because a breeder did told me to try it out -- by using a normal multi vitamin pill and let it dissolve in the water and add a few drops to the tank (fishes absorb the nutrients from their gills, so the water is the most important aspect)

Feel free to comment your thoughts about this!

Cheers!

I'm sure that fish, just like humans, when given a balanced nutritious diet are capable of producing all necessary vitamins needed for good health.

Feed well to forget about supplements?

Definitely a regular dose improve the fish immune system. Experience is that fish is stronger and more active.

I do always dose Azoo Multi Vitamins that supposed to be engineered for the well-being of arowana. Not sure if it actually helps, but it does make sense to supplement vitamins that's lacking in our tap water.

First time i've heard of putting multi-vitamins designed for human consumption into aquariums. I guess it could work as long as the ingredients are safe for aquatic livestock.

I do know that some aquarists dose products like Seachem Equilibrium to the tap water (or distilled/RODI water) they use for water changes. It helps restore beneficial minerals for livestock.
