Will the antibacterial flakes hurt a fish who isn't sick?

I have two tetras in a Q Tank. One seems to have a minor swim bladder problem. The other is fine. I just wanted to make sure there would be no ill effects if I feed them both antibacterial food for a couple days.

Thanks

Nope, no ill effects. Don't make it a staple food or anything, but I can't see the other being harmed.

The other fish should show no ill effects from the medicated foods.
If you continued to used it regually in your feeding program and them it is required to use it, the fish could have built up within their system that is will not work at all.

Have a look in [link=My Profile] http://www.fishprofiles.com/forums/member.aspx?id=1935[/link] for my tank info
