In reply to Rebecca …. Use the directions for fish not eating.

I have both Lev and Fenben and am interested in using both to cover the most ground, so to speak. There are different directions on each disease as to how often to feed, which meds to feed, etc. Thank you so much!!

I’ve used gelatin foods in the past so I’ll just go back to that unless this actually works.

In reply to Joshua … Mixing the medication into pelleted food didn’t work out very well for me. The redried pellets just turned to powder when they hit the water.

What are you thoughts about using pellets? I believe the Seachem Metroplex gives directions for this but they recommend using Seachem Focus as a binder. I am currently fighting one fish with a minor case of Hollow Belly and another with a more sever case and I am using this method as recommended by the directions from Seachem (feed daily up to three weeks). I in the middle of the third week and it seems to be working but it is difficult to tell for sure. If that doesn’t work I plan to use some Levamisole I picked up from Subaquaria or some Kanaplex I have on hand next.
