Is Tetra still making a medicated food?


Good question - every once in a while I would run across some of
Tetra's medicated foods, and buy what ever they had. I think your right
- ever since the 'mad cow' disease, or was it 'hoof and mouth' - well,
one of those - ever since then, one can't find their medicated foods -
something to do with the gelatin within it I think(?) Their medicated
food for parasites contains Trimethoprim Sulfamethoxazole, which also
worked great on swimbladder infections and 50% of the time on dropsy -
good stuff, to good to just stop making it(?)....

I'm getting ready to buy
and quarantine some "feeder" goldfish ........


Yes - one of the things needed for a good 'quarantine preventive
treatment' - I have been using eather a homemade antibiotic food, or a
Waterlife product called Protozin and Myxazin since I can't find Tetra
anymore. Protozin and Myxazin works good, and fish will eat the stuff
