I was reading some stuff last night and saw that human antibiotic usage is
in the range of several hundred tons per year!!! That does not include
antibiotics in animal feed. I do not believe that fish use approaches
anything like this range.

The antibiotic resistance thread was most interesting. I still don't know
that home aquarists pose more than an imaginary threat. Does anyone have
any information on the volume of antibiotics sold through pet shops?
