Newbie Here. Are there certain Meds I want to have on hand when I get discus? I do not have a LFS closer than 45 -50 minutes away So I won't just be hopping in the car for a quick trip. Also, when I get new fish do I want to medicate and Deworm before I add them to the tank? Thanks

Amber -- do a search as both questions have been asked and answered numerous times on this forum. My guess is that's why you have not received any responses...

Not really, it mainly depends on the amount of tanks and fish you have or intend to get. If anything, something like Quick Cure would be decent to have around. Other than that, you can order anything online overnight if its an emergency.

As far as deworming, it depends on the source of the fish.
