Expert Answer
How long a medicated fish must wait depends on the drug. With oxytetracycline, do not feed during treatment and resume after stopping. With yellow powder added to the tank, change water after 3 days, then feed.
Oxytetracycline fights bacterial diseases like gill rot, pinecone, fin rot, and enteritis, and is low-toxicity, so the fish metabolizes it quickly.
