I think it's only if they ingest the food

Yep
 

Yes only if ingested. As it's suggested to do new carbon and feed sparingly.

On another note, it's not an inexpensive food. It's like paying for medicine and food but at the same time. It does however have a pretty good shelflife. I think current stock expires December 2017.


Each medicinal food comes in 1mm, 2mm, and 3mm sizes too

Time to pick some up

dosage
 

My question with this kind of foods is about dosage. For chloroquine or metro to work properly, you have to have the correct dosage. How can you make sure your fish have enough medication? Or in an unlikely event, too much?

Well, they say feed no more than twice per day, and for a certain number of days in a row. Probably most fish will get more med than necessary I'd think, but still not at a toxic level. For example, both of these meds in humans aren't really toxic unless the dose is many times higher than the therapeutic dose.

Pre mixed
 

I've been mixing my own chloroquine into food using agar and fish food mix, but definitely like the idea of premixed. I'll be looking for it today! My hippo has ich for the first time :-(

Just picked mine up from Golds and started feeding. I turned off my pumps and fed carefully. Will have to see what kind of results we get after the third day of feeding.

Can Ich sheild and Hex Sheild be used together? I just bought the Hex shield as Golds didn't have the Ich shield today.

Golds
 

Wednesday is when golds gets delivery from us. Just an fyi

Can I use both products at once?
