I don't remember "pond" being in the name, but i tried their antiparasite medicated food. My fish wouldn't eat it at all!

I have used these (Pond versions of anti parasite and antibiotic). the pieces are very large, OK for the larger aquarium fish, and certainly Koi and Golds. Small fish, young loaches will need the pellets broken up. Easy enough, with mortar and pestal, or a hammer. The pellets are very hard.

My fish are not fond of them. I added dried garlic (granulated, I think) to the jar, so that as it sits on the shelf it is picking up some garlic flavor. Even this is not enough, though it helps a bit.
Real, fresh garlic is better. Mince or crush the garlic and put enough pellets in there for 1 feeding and let them sit for a few minutes. Then feed. It is OK to feed some of the minced garlic, too.
38 tanks, 2 ponds over 4000 liters of water to keep clean and fresh.

Happy fish keeping!

I've had good results treating camallanus worms with fenbendazole, bought safe-guard canine wormer. I just dissolved a pinch of the white powder in warm water, then added frozen bloodworms, Put in the fridge for an hour or two then fed them. Fish gobbled them up and the worms were gone after a week or so of this treatment. This should work for any internal parasites.

My fish don't have a problem with this food they eat it ....anyway I had to crush them so they sink and to be easily munch on by my CL's.

This is a good idea on doing it too.
